It has been reported that Tottenham is planning another attack on Serie A this summer in an attempt to strengthen their defense.
Spurs’ triumph in Serie A
Tottenham has recently found success hunting in Italy. They have invested a large portion of their summer budget in Serie A since 2021, and it has paid off with stars like Destiny Udogie, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Guglielmo Vicario in north London.
Of the completed permanent deals, only Ivan Perisic has left the team; the other players are still important members of the team. The Lilywhites are having their greatest Premier League season in a long time thanks to those signings; Ange Postecoglou’s team is playing entertaining football and, for the most part, winning games to go along with it.
They have hit something of a hitch in recent weeks, with the Lilywhites now six points behind Aston Villa in the race for the final Champions League spot. Though they have two games in hand on the Villans, they also have to play all of the top three in their final six games of the season, and will probably realistically have to win four of their last six games to stand any chance of finishing fourth. Despite that, it remains a season of progress, and now they are set to return to the Serie A in a bid to progress further next time around.
negotiations to sign a Serie A defender by Spurs
That’s according to the Italian publication CalcioMercato, which claims Tottenham has made preliminary contact on a potential summer transfer for Torino’s talented defender Alessandro Buongiorno.
The centre-back has strung together a series of fine performances in the last 18 months, earning a call-up to the Italian national team in the process, and has reportedly also caught the eye of Napoli and AC Milan, though it is added that they may struggle to put together an offer as tempting as Tottenham’s.
Buongiorno has come in for plenty of praise this season, not least from U23 talent scout Jacek Kulig, who dubbed him “one of the most underrated defenders in Italy” and a “remarkable player” earlier this month.
