Ange Postecoglou has asked Tottenham directors to sign Arsenal target Federico Chiesa before the start of the 2024/25 season.
Tottenham have been quite busy in the ongoing transfer window. While they have already done some quality transfer business, there is still a lot of work to be done. Despite having extended the loan spell of Timo Werner, Ange Postecoglou still seeks more quality out wide on the flanks.
According to a report from CaughtOffside, the Australian manager has asked Tottenham’s hierarchy to sign Juventus star winger Federico Chiesa. He wants them to prioritise the Italian winger’s transfer.
While he hasn’t been at his best for some time now, the Italian international is only 26 and still has a lot of time to turn things around.
His arrival could do wonders for Tottenham. Not only will he add more quality on the left flank allowing Postecoglou the freedom to use Son Heung-min in a more central role, Chiesa’s versatility will give the former Celtic boss quite a few tactical options.
With his contract at the Turin-based club running out in 12 months, the Serie A outfit are trying hard to extend his stay at the club. But, the player is aware of the interest in him from the Premier League and is waiting to see what proposals are on offer before making a decision.
Thanks to his contract situation, the 26-year-old winger is expected to be available for between €20-€25 million which surely won’t be a problem for Spurs. However, they might have to face serious competition from rivals Arsenal who are also keen on Chiesa’s signature.
Mikel Arteta wants someone who can compete with Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard for a place in the starting XI. The Juventus winger is high on his wishlist and they can make life difficult for Tottenham.
