Ruslan Malinovskyi, a Tottenham Hotspur transfer target, wanted to join the club this summer, but a report suggests he could still move in the winter.
According to a new Tutto Atalanta report, the 29-year-old had a ‘preferential’ move to Spurs in mind during the summer transfer window. Despite the fact that the transfer fell through, an Italian source suggests that a deal could still happen in the winter.
Indeed, they claim that while Malinovskyi will remain at the club “at least until January,” they may “discuss him in the next winter transfer session.”
Fabrizio Romano has also relayed that Ruslan Malinovskyi’s ‘dream was to join Spurs’ could the transfer ‘could still happen’ in January as the ‘situation remains open for next year’.
Spurs failed to add a much-needed attacking midfielder to Conte’s squad in time, so Spurs should really be considering another move for Malinovskyi in January.
Malinovskyi, dubbed an “extraordinary” player by Gian Piero Gasperiniis for Atalanta, is more than capable of providing the creativity that Spurs lack in the midfield, as evidenced by his 141 goal contributions during his club career. In 130 games for Atalanta alone, he has 30 goals and 27 assists.
