Anthony Caci – $5.5 Million

Anthony Caci is a versatile defender playing at Strasbourg in Ligue 1. Making 33 appearances for over 2800 minutes, Caci played 84% of all available minutes for Strasbourg. Naturally a right-footed player, Caci played right-back, center-back, and left-back for Strasbourg but would be in that right-back position for Tottenham.

Caci likes to be on the ball dribbling at over a 68% success rate. Caci also has a knack for big cross-field passes or switches. He is very aggressive and progressive with his passes, completing 159 progressive passes, more than any player on our list. Although he only had 2 assists, Caci clearly can contribute to a solid attack.

Caci is not quite the tackler that Pierre-Gabriel is but he is very adept at reading the game and had some 57 interceptions on the season. His 264 ball recoveries were equal to Reguilón in his season at Sevilla and more than 70 more than any other player on the list. Caci, wants the ball and goes and gets it.

Caci is just $5.5 million (£3.87 million) and his contract expires on June 30, 2022. This is exactly the situation Tottenham should be looking for in terms of price and contract and make Caci a very favorable option.
