Report: Spurs considering move for defender who left PL club in January

According to a report in The Sunday Mirror – 23/04, p74, Tottenham Hotspur are considering a move for Rennes centre-back Loic Bade this summer.

Bade joined Nottingham Forest on loan last summer ahead of the club’s first foray into the Premier League but the move proved to be a disaster for the centre-back, who did not play a single minute for the Steve Cooper’s side.

The Ligue 1 club decided to cut the spell short in January and loaned the defender out to Sevilla for the second half of the season instead.

Bade has fared much better since his move to Spain, establishing himself as a mainstay in the La Liga club’s backline.

The Frenchman impressed in Sevilla’s Europa League win over Manchester United last week, even finding the back of the net for the Spanish side at the start of the second half.

The Sunday Mirror have now claimed that Bade’s performances in Spain have caught Tottenham’s attention, with the North London club allegedly considering making a £10m move for the 23-year-old in the summer.

Spurs Web Opinion

Given Forest’s defensive struggles this season, the fact that Bade failed to make a single appearance for the club in the first half of the campaign, is certainly not a ringing endorsement of his quality.

There is no doubt that Spurs need reinforcements at centre-back in the summer but one would expect the club to go after players of a higher calibre than the Rennes man.
