Fazio happy to grab Tottenham chance

Tottenham defender Federico Fazio admits leaving Sevilla last month was a wrench.

Leaving Sevilla, where he spent eight years, wasn't an easy decision for Fazio to make.

Nevertheless, he says joining compatriot Mauricio Pochettino's White Hart Lane revolution was a chance he couldn't turn down.

"I was there for eight years and I was an idol for the fans there," said Fazio. "I was only going to leave for a good option. So when Tottenham came in for me it was a very good option.

"I wanted to try another league and a team like Spurs - one of the best teams in the world."
