Shooting Conversion Rate: Otamendi at Benfica
Tottenham Hotspur have signed Argentine centre-back Nicolas Otamendi from Benfica for a fee in the region of €25 million, with the player penning a five-year contract at White Hart Lane.
The deal is a significant coup for Mauricio Pochettino's squad, who will hope to capitalise on the Argentine's strong performances for his club side this season.
Otamendi has been a key figure for Benfica since joining the Portuguese outfit in 2014 and has established himself as one of the best defenders in Europe over the past few seasons.
His signing is expected to boost Tottenham's defensive options ahead of the new Premier League campaign, which begins on August 9th.
Pochettino will be hoping that Otamendi can provide the same level of consistency and leadership that he has shown at Benfica, while also providing the necessary cover for Harry Kane and Dele Alli.
In addition to Otamendi, Tottenham have also signed midfielder Davinson Sanchez from Sevilla for £27 million, with the Spaniard expected to play a key role in the club's midfield.
Overall, the arrival of Otamendi and Sanchez is a significant move for Spurs, who will now be looking to build upon their impressive finish to last season and compete for honours this term.
