“Tottenham’s SHOCKING £60M Move to Snag Premier League’s ‘MIND-BLOWING’ Superstar – You WON’T Believe Who!”

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly making significant progress in their pursuit of Bournemouth centre-back Illia Zabarnyi, with a £60 million offer expected to be accepted by the Cherries, according to Football Insider.

Since his arrival in the Premier League, Zabarnyi has emerged as a standout performer for Bournemouth, forging a solid defensive partnership with Dean Huijsen under manager Andoni Iraola.

While Huijsen drew much of the attention during the 2024/25 season—earning a move to Real Madrid—Zabarnyi quietly played a pivotal role in the heart of the defence.

Tottenham’s interest in a new centre-back comes amid growing uncertainty over Cristian Romero’s future.

Sources from GIVEMESPORT suggest that Atletico Madrid are keen on signing the Argentine, and Spurs are now awaiting clarity on Romero’s decision regarding a potential move to La Liga.

Spurs Leading the Race for Zabarnyi

According to Football Insider, Tottenham are now leading the chase for Zabarnyi’s signature, ahead of competition from French giants Paris Saint-Germain.

A bid exceeding £60 million is likely to be enough to seal the deal, paving the way for the Ukrainian defender to join the north London outfit.

New Spurs boss Thomas Frank, appointed earlier this summer following the dismissal of Ange Postecoglou, is known for favouring a three-at-the-back system during his tenure at Brentford.

With Romero potentially on his way out, Frank could be targeting defensive reinforcements to replicate that structure at Tottenham.

In Spurs’ first pre-season fixture under Frank—a match against Reading—the team lined up with a back four.

However, young centre-back Luka Vuskovic made a notable impression from the bench, scoring and assisting, which could influence Frank’s tactical decisions moving forward.

Zabarnyi, praised as “unbelievable” by teammate Philip Billing, could prove to be a wise investment for Tottenham.

At just 22 years old, he has already shown maturity and composure at the top level and still has plenty of room for development, making him a long-term asset for the club.
