Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve the defensive unit in the coming months, and they have identified Mario Gila as a potential target.
Mario Gila has done quite well for Lazio, and he could prove to be an excellent addition for the north London club. However, a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football has claimed that Crystal Palace and Everton are interested in the 27-year-old defender as well.
The Spaniard will be out of contract in the summer of 2027, and he could be available for a reasonable amount of money at the end of this season. The Serie A outfit will not want to lose him on a free transfer, and they will look to sell him before his value plummets.
Tottenham could use more depth and quality in the defensive unit. The former Real Madrid player would be a useful acquisition. Mario Gila has proven his quality in Italy, and he has the ability to succeed in England as well. The opportunity to move to the Premier League at this stage of his career will be quite exciting for him. He will look to test himself against world-class players in England.
Tottenham have started the season well, and they are third in the Premier League table. They will look to secure UEFA Champions League qualification and fight for trophies. The North London club need to keep improving the team to do so.
It will be interesting to see if they can bring in the right additions in January. Signing Gila in January could prove to be difficult. The Serie A outfit will not want to lose him in the middle of the season. The Spanish defender is a key player for them, and they will struggle to replace him.
Palace and Everton keen on Gila
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace could use more quality and depth in the defensive unit as well. Club captain Marc Guehi is expected to leave the club at the end of the season amid his links with Barcelona and other bigwigs. The English international will be out of contract in the summer.
He has been linked with an exit from the club in January as well. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. The Spanish defender could be the ideal replacement for Guehi. Similarly, Everton need more defensive depth as well.
Jarrad Branthwaite has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months. The Merseyside outfit will need to replace him properly if the 23-year-old England international defender decides to move on. Gila would be a quality acquisition for them.
