Despite enjoying a promising start to this season, the Lilywhites have struggled to show their best in the second half of this campaign. As a result, they risk missing out on Champions League qualification.

Buongiorno to Tottenham
However, the Italian media claims that Buongiorno does not want to move to the first division since he is willing to stay in Italy. Postecoglou's side will therefore have to convince the defender to move to the newly renovated White Hart Lane if he formalizes his interest.
Buongiorno, who is 6 feet 3 inches tall, is a left-footed center back. He is strong, good in the air, comfortable playing from the back, efficient in defensive contributions and also reads the game well.
Postecoglou likes to deploy a left-footed centre-back on the left side of the defence, but does not have any left-footed defender apart from Micky van de Ven at his disposal. So, considering Tottenham are set to secure their place in Europe next season, he needs depth in his squad to achieve success in all competitions.
Buongiorno could therefore be a shrewd signing for the north London club if they acquire him. However, it will be interesting to see if Tottenham finally manage to convince him to move to the newly renovated White Hart Lane if they formalize their interest in him next. transfer window.
