Illia Zabarnyi is on Spurs’ radar as a target to potentially replace Cristian Romero. However, he is believed to be only available in the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Illia Zabarnyi as a new central defender in January, with Johan Lange leading negotiations to outbid Chelsea and Manchester City. The Ukrainian international, who joined Bournemouth from Dynamo Kyiv in January 2023, could cost over £50 million. While Zabarnyi could become third choice behind Van de Ven and Romero, he might also replace Romero if he moves to Real Madrid amid frustrations with Tottenham's transfer strategy.

Tottenham Hotspur is interested in signing Bournemouth's centre-back Ilya Zabarnyi. The club is looking to strengthen their defense due to injury issues in the position. Spurs are willing to add to their defensive options during the January transfer window if the right targets are available.

Tottenham, led by Ange Postecoglou, is in the race to acquire Ilya Zabarnyi. The transfer is projected for the next season, with a speculated fee of approximately 60 million euros.
