Takehiro Tomiyasu has emerged as a Tottenham transfer target and the Bologna man could become the first player that joins from Serie A this summer.
It wouldn’t be a huge surprise if Tottenham signs players from Italy in this transfer window after they made Fabio Paratici their director of football.
His first task however is to name a new manager for the club, but The Sun is reporting that they are moving ahead with their plans to sign players this summer regardless.
They want a new defender and a move for Tomiyasu could be completed soon for around £15million.
The 22-year-old is reportedly keen to play in the Premier League and Tottenham is confident that they can sign him
Spurs landed Joe Rodon and Matt Doherty last summer, but they failed to impress in their first campaign at the club.
Tomiyasu can reportedly play as a centre back and as a right-back and he might be brought in as cover for both positions.
One problem, however, is that he has been chosen to play for Japan at the Olympics and he might miss a huge part of the start of next season if he makes the move to Spurs this summer.
Boycott everything that will line enic pockets they will have no choice to either listen sell up or Lewis to sack levy n his little fat hairy tuna chucks yes men
rodon is going to be a top player but he needs a player in his prime who will talk him though the game silva has went in n done it at chelski I hink Ramos would be a great signing to play with rodon
What I don’t understand is that the club have always charged supporters a ridicullous amount to attend games….yet when it comes to buying players we always seem to be looking at bargain buckets. The owners keep telling us we are a big club, but why don’t invest in the right calibre of player??? A workman is only as good as his tools……a wise man once said if you buy cheap you buy twice!!
Joe Rodon failed to impress??? Granted he wasn’t stellar, but apart from a few moments I thought he looked fairly solid. Clearly still some development required but I’m pleased we signed him and he will grow into the role. We need to sign someone good with experience that he can learn from next to him.
