Tottenham are now ‘in a hurry’ to sign ‘powerful’ player, they’re the favourites to get him
Tottenham has an opportunity to place in the Champions League this year. Taking into account where they were at this time last year, that would be a fantastic accomplishment.
Though Postecoglou is deserving of all the accolades, he is aware that his team will suffer if they don’t improve in the summer. It appears that getting a new defender is the first priority, and they have been closely associated with an Italian player.
Tottenham is “eager” to sign a defender from Italy.
This season, Tottenham has a lot of reasons for optimism.
They undoubtedly have one style of play, and many of their attacking players’ performances are deserving of high appreciation.
When healthy, Tottenham’s defenders have also performed admirably, although the team currently has the joint-worst record among the top six.
It’s no secret that Spurs will add a defender this summer, and Riccardo Calafiori of Bologna has been connected to a transfer to Ange Postecoglou’s team.
The “powerful” 21-year-old may depart Bologna in the summer after coming under Tottenham’s notice during the January transfer window.
Calafiori is reportedly “very interested” in Tottenham, who are “in a hurry” to sign him away from Bologna, according to Il Pallano Gonfiato. Furthermore, it has been stated that Spurs are in the lead in the competition for his signature.
According to the article, Calafiori, who has a contract with Bologna that expires in 2027, will be eligible for £21.3 million plus bonuses.
Tottenham have been really smart with their recruitment over the last year.
Ange Postecoglou has strengthened multiple areas of the pitch, and his side don’t just have a solid starting lineup but also some decent depth as well.
However, there are areas of the pitch where Tottenham can improve, especially if their main starters in those positions get injured or suspended.
Ben Davies, who will turn 31 next month, is Tottenham’s backup at left-centre-back and left-back. Yes, Radu Dragusin is there now, but he’s right-footed and that affects the balance of the side.
A left-footed option to provide cover for Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie would make Tottenham stronger, and Riccardo Calafiori has the ability to play in both roles.
That’s probably why Tottenham are interested in signing him this summer.
