The Spurs are considering making a move for teenage international cap player Bellingham.
As they attempt to strengthen their defense, Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering making a move for Ilya Zabarnyi as part of their transfer plans, as reported by Football London.
The left-sided center back is only 19 years old and would provide an option to Alessandro Bastoni for Tottenham, which appears to have missed out on the opportunity to sign the Italian.
There is a good chance that Spurs fans do not know much about Zabarnyi. You may be excused for this. While it is true that he has experience playing in the Ukrainian league, it appears that he possesses the skills necessary to be a standout performer in the Premier League.

Zabarnyi has swiftly made a name for himself as one of the best defenders in Ukraine, and now it appears that Spurs are interested in bringing him to the Premier League to play for them.
Zabarnyi, who has a height of 6 feet 3 inches, is a physically intimidating defender, and he was a significant contributor to the Dinamo Kyiv club that won the double in the previous season.
When it comes to signing a teenager from an obscure league, there is, without a doubt, a significant amount of risk involved; nevertheless, as players such as Josko Gvardiol have demonstrated in recent years, there is some genuine talent to be plucked from eastern Europe.
If Zabarnyi can come in and make an immediate impact for Tottenham at the age of 19, he may immediately rocket himself to superstardom under Antonio Conte. This is because Tottenham needs someone to come in and make an immediate impression.
It looks like Tottenham might have found a winning strategy here.
