Tottenham priced out for £60m Chelsea man as Blues backtrack on January stance

Tottenham will reportedly not be able to afford a Chelsea star in January, as the Blues are now ‘reluctant’ to see him leave and will ask for £60million.

Spurs have had their fair share of injury problems this season. The defence is currently the worst hit, with centre-back pair Cristian Romero andCristian Romerode Ven both sidelined.
