Sevilla signing Federico Fazio is open to staying long-term.

The Tottenham defender has joined Sevilla in a straight six-month loan.

"I was looking for a new challenge, now I will try to give everything as I always have for this shirt," said Fazio.

"I am grateful to the leadership and coaches as they have worked for my return. I played very little, physically I'm fine, I feel in great shape.

"Meanwhile, I'm here for six months, in the future we will see what will happen."
