Tottenham Hotspur are one of the clubs keen on signing the Juventus defender Federico Gatti during the summer transfer window.
According to a report from TV Play, they will face competition from London rivals, West Ham United. The Hammers are hoping to sign the 26-year-old Italian defender as well, and the player will cost around €20 million (£16.5m).
The defender was linked with Tottenham a few months ago as well.
Gatti has shown his quality in Italy and he has the ability to succeed in the Premier League as well. He could prove to be a bargain for the reported asking price. €20 million for a player of his quality and experiencing today’s market would be a steal deal and it will be interesting to see which of the London clubs can get the deal done.
Tottenham need another quality central defender at their disposal and the 26-year-old is up for grabs at a reasonable price. They should do everything in their power to get the deal done. The opportunity to play in the Premier League could be quite exciting for the player as well.
Tottenham have an exciting project and a talented squad. They could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies in the coming season. The defender is in the peak years of his career and he will look to join a competitive club. Tottenham could be a more attractive destination for him compared to West Ham.
It will be interesting to see which of the two clubs come forward with an official offer to sign the player. They have the resources to get the deal done, and they should be able to convince the player to join as well.
If the 26-year-old manages to adapt to the Premier League quickly, he could prove to be an exceptional acquisition for either club.
