Tottenham are 'looking' to sign Federico Chiesa this summer
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly looking to sign Juventus star Federico Chiesa this summer, according to Italian outlet All of Juve.
Having arrived at the Allianz Stadium from Fiorentina, the 26-year-old has established himself as a key player for the Bianconeri in recent years. He even showed glimpses of his qualities last season, scoring nine goals and adding two assists in 33 Serie A games.
However, the striker's current contract expires at the end of next season and the Vecchia Signora have no intention of offering him a new deal, so Juventus are open to signing him this summer to avoid losing him for free next year.
According to the report of All of JuveTottenham are keen to sign the Italian in the current situation and could make a concrete approach in the coming weeks.
The report further claims that Juventus want a fee of at least £21m, therefore the Lilywhites may manage to secure his signature for an affordable price.
From the church to Tottenham
The Italian outlet also claims that Besiktas have also expressed their intentions to sign him, but the player is interested in playing for the Premier league. So Spurs could persuade him to join the club if they formalise their interest.
The Lilywhites have already signed Archie Gray to bolster their midfield and have also signed talented South Korean Min-Hyuk Yang, but he is unlikely to feature for the north London club next season.
Tottenham are expected to add more reinforcements before the end of this season. transfer window as Ange Postecoglou has previously expressed his desire to rebuild a team that can challenge for Grands Prix in the future.
Chiesa is a talented player and his willingness to work hard out of possession would be the perfect attribute to play in Postecoglou's high-pressing system.
Therefore, it would be a smart signing for the Lilywhites if they do sign him. However, it will be interesting to see if the North London club ultimately opt to sign him if he leaves Juventus in this transfer window.
