Sevilla president Jose Castro has confirmed the club will look to resign Spurs defender Federico Fazio in January.
Fazio, 28, only swapped the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan for north London last year but has struggled to establish himself in Mauricio Pochettino first-team plans.
The Argentina international has only made one League Cup appearance all season and could shortly be returning to Sevilla after their president confirmed their interest in the central defender.
“We are working on a number of options and Fazio is one of them,” Castro told Radio Sevilla. “He is an option, but nothing has been completed as of yet.
“It is clear that Fazio did not leave Sevilla in the best of ways and that really upsets me, but I have to think about Sevilla’s interest. I have to swallow my anger, because the club needs Fazio.
“I do not like swallowing my pride, but I am willing to do something I do not like because it is in Sevilla’s best interest.”
Despite not being deemed worthy enough of a Premier League bow this season, Fazio finished last season as Spurs’ highest rated player (7.39) and only Christian Benteke won more aerial duels per game (6.5) than Fazio (4.8).
