Sevilla are hoping to close a deal for Tottenham defender Federico Fazio.

AS says Sevilla are closing in on the loan signing of Fazio until the end of the season.

The Argentinean defender has made his desire to return to the Sánchez Pizjuán quite evident and is only willing to leave Tottenham Hotspur if it is for the Liga club.

This has allowed Sevilla to push forward in negotiations with the Spurs board.
