Tottenham transfer news: Tony Pulis confirms Fazio is having a medical at West Brom
Tottenham defender Federico Fazio has arrived in the Midlands ahead of the proposed £5 million move to West Brom.
The 28-year-old will underwent a medical at the club's training ground today before discussing personal terms which could see the defender sign in time for Sunday's home fixture against current Premier League champions Chelsea.
"The lad is here and having a medical and we're hoping to get it done," Tony Pulis told reporters.
"He's a very good defender coming from a top club in Tottenham and the boy wants to play regular football."
"He wants to show that he can not only compete but do well in the Premier League and I think that ambition, drive and desire is what you need in your club."
"He's been a top player for Sevilla and I think he will be a top signing for the club."
Fazio signed for Spurs from Spanish side Sevilla on a four-year deal last summer.
He has made 31 appearances for Tottenham but has fallen down the pecking order at White Hart Lane following the arrivals of Toby Alderweireld and Kevin Wimmer.
