Tutto Juve has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Atalanta star until 2024 European League Ederson winner in this summer's edition transfer window.
Report claims Spurs are planning a big bid for the South American tournament but face competition from Juventus and Newcastle UnitedEdit They are also interested in acquiring the midfielder after his great campaign with Gian Piero Gasperini's team.
Ederson is valued at £34m, according to the same source, and his ability to play anywhere in midfield has been an attractive factor for suitors for the 24-year-old ahead of a likely summer move.
Tottenham are expected to provide Ange Postecoglou with a reasonable amount of financial backing in the transfer window and a defensive midfielder is high on their wish list.
Yves Bissouma has not lived up to expectations at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg could leave the club this summer, making the signing of the number six necessary.
With the north Londoners chasing a top-four finish next season, Ederson's transfer may prove frugal considering his age and price tag.
Spurs have had recent success in Serie A signings
Tottenham Hotspur have made purchases in Serie A in recent years, most notably Cristian Romero, who was signed from Atalanta, and the former Juventus duo of Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur.
Romero and Bentancur performed well in a defensive environment and played well in a low block that was employed by two of Postecoglou's predecessors, Antonio Conte and José Mourinho.
Kulusevski has also been an asset to the club's forward line, contributing some crucial goals and assists since joining the team.
At just 24 years old, Ederson would be a valuable addition to Tottenham for an affordable price of just £34 million. His ability to play numerous positions in the engine room is an added advantage.
Standing at six feet tall, he is an aerial threat and also has enough pace to locate the opposition's creative outlet, as he did with Florian Wirtz in the Europa League final last week.
Juventus, who have made sure Champions League football, may be Spurs' only real threat in their bid to sign Ederson, but Tottenham can offer a better salary than the financially crippled elderly lady from Turin.
