Tottenham Hotspur have now reportedly turned their attention to a young Italian defender, but they face competition from three of their Premier League rivals.
Spurs have plenty of work to do in the final 10 days of the transfer window, especially after missing out on Eberechi Eze, who appeared set to be their marquee signing of the summer.
According to reports, Thomas Frank wants a winger, a number ten, and a centre-back to be signed before the window slams shut.
However, a new report has now suggested that the Lilywhites have their eye on a highly-rated young full-back.
Tottenham interested in 22-year-old Italian right-back Nicolo Savona
This report comes from La Valle (as translated by Sport Witness), who says that Juve starlet Nicolo Savona is now on Spurs’ radar.
Savona, who came through the Bianconeri youth setup, played 28 times for the Serie A giants last season, scoring twice.
It has been claimed that the 22-year-old’s performances have caught the attention of several Premier League sides, with Tottenham Hotspur leading the race.
The North London club could face competition from Newcastle United, Wolves and Bournemouth, who are also interested in the youngster.
Nicolo Savona’s value could soon go up
The report says that even though the right-back only signed a new contract with Juve recently, a summer sale cannot be ruled out, given that the Italian club need funds.
Savona is currently contracted until 2030 at the Allianz Stadium and has been part of Italy’s Under-21 set-up, but he is soon expected to be called up to the senior side.
The outlet suggests that a call-up to the Azzurri would have a significant impact on the defender’s market value.
