Roma have agreed a deal to sign defender Federico Fazio from Tottenham

Roma have agreed a deal to sign defender Federico Fazio from Tottenham.

The 30-year-old Argentina international spent last season on loan at the Serie A outfit, making 48 appearances, and the Giallorossi have now made the move permanent.

Fazio joined Spurs from Sevilla in 2014 but found first- team action hard to come by at White Hart Lane and spent much of the last 18 months out on loan.

We have reached an agreement with
@OfficialASRoma for the permanent transfer of @Fede2Fazio.

We wish Federico all the best for
the future.
