L’Equipe: Ben Davies an transfer option for Nice in January

The switch window isn’t open but, however the rumors certain are performing like it’s. Right this moment we’ve got a report from L’Equipe that means Tottenham Hotspur reserve defender Ben Davies may very well be an choice for Ligue 1 membership OGC Good when the switch window opens in just a few days. Spurs exercised an choice to increase Davies’ contract for an additional season this previous summer time, which implies he’s out of contract in June. This would possibly signify the final alternative for Spurs to get slightly money for his or her longest-tenured participant.

It’s not probably the most strong of rumors. The report states that Good have had an curiosity in Davies, Wales’ captain and an skilled worldwide and Premier League defender. He’s not a spring hen however is a gradual hand within the again line, and Good are at present having a little bit of a defensive damage disaster, with Dante, Youssouf Ndayishimiye, Mohamed Abdelmonem, and Moïse Bombito all out of motion. Davies would probably be signed as defensive cowl.

And that’s why L’Equipe suggests {that a} deal to carry Davies to France is likely to be “removed from easy.” For starters, it’s steered that Davies would possibly desire a long-term deal someplace if and when he does depart Tottenham, and second he’s probably on wages which are going to be problematic for Good to match.

All of us like Large Ben, but it surely’s fairly clear his days at Spurs are numbered. He’s had some accidents this fall which have stored him out of the rotation, however he nonetheless solely has 55 minutes of recreation time within the first half of the season. I’m unsure how assured I really feel about this specific rumor being true, but it surely does recommend that Ben Davies may need a market.
