Tottenham are ready to make an offer to sign Manuel Locatelli
Tottenham According to recent reports, Hotspur are set to submit a formal proposal to sign Juventus star Manuel Locatelli this summer.
The Lilywhites have already strengthened their midfield department with the signing of Archie Gray from Leeds United following the departure of Piere-Emile Hojbejrg to Olympique de Marseille.
However, Gray is still a very young player and has not proven his worth in the Premier League However, it seems that Spurs are also considering signing a more experienced player to strengthen the engine room.
According to an Italian media Juve live (through Witness of sport), Tottenham are interested in signing Locatelli and are “willing to offer” a £20m bid plus bonuses to secure his signature in this transfer window.
Juventus are open to letting him go after having already signed Douglas Luiz, so Tottenham can seal the 'dream deal' if they finally step up their efforts in the coming days.
Locatelli at Tottenham
Locatelli was touted as an excellent young player during his time at Sassuolo and after being impressed by his performances at the Mapei Stadium, Arsenal expressed their interest in signing him.
However, the 26-year-old eventually decided to sign for Juventus. However, the Italian has not been able to prosper his career at the Allianz Stadium in recent years.
However, he is a very talented player and has plenty of time on his side to reach his full potential, so he could be a very profitable acquisition for Tottenham if they buy him for the reported price.
Locatelli is a deep-lying midfielder who has the ability to link passes between the lines. He is also good in the air, has an eye for long-distance passes and can also contribute in defence.
Meanwhile, in addition to Gray, Spurs have also signed Dominic Solanke from AFC Bournemouth for a club-record fee of £65m. However, Ange Postecoglou has revealed that Tottenham are not done with this transfer window just yet as they continue to explore the market for more reinforcements before the end of this summer window.
So it remains to be seen how much more money the north London club will ultimately spend in the coming days, having already spent more than £100m.
