Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with the move for the Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori in recent weeks.
The defender is reportedly a target for Italian giants Juventus as well. A report from TuttoJuve claims that Tottenham are ‘ready to battle’ the Italian giants for the 21-year-old defender, and they are currently ‘favourites’ to sign him because of their financial resources.
Juventus wants to sign the talented young Italian defender as well, but they will not be able to compete with the Premier League club financially. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can take advantage of the situation and get the deal done.
Calafiori is highly rated across Europe and he has a big future ahead of him. He could develop into a key player for Tottenham with the right guidance. Signing him would sort out their defensive unit for the foreseeable future. Tottenham have done well to bring talented young players this season and the 21-year-old will be another superb investment for the future.
The young defender will look to test himself at the highest level and move to the Premier League will be an exciting opportunity. Tottenham have a quality squad and a charismatic manager at their disposal. They will be an attractive destination for the player.
Regular football in England could help the 21-year-old develop further and fulfil his tremendous potential. His arrival will also help Spurs tighten up defensively and compete for trophies in the coming seasons. It remains to be seen all the situation develops over the next few weeks.
