Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keeping tabs on the Sassuolo winger Armand Lauriente.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Spurs are keen on the 24-year-old winger but they are yet to make an official approach for him.
The Frenchman has done quite well for the Italian club since joining them and he scored eight goals and picked up seven assists across all competitions last season. He is quite effective from free-kicks as well and he would add a new dimension to the side.
The 24-year-old winger could prove to be a useful option for Tottenham in the attack, and it remains to be seen whether they decide to make a move for him in January.
Apparently, the north London outfit are tracking the player as they have sent their scouts multiple times to watch him in action.
Speaking on the Here We Go Podcast, he said:“Asking about if Spurs are still interested in Armand Lauriente. What I can tell you is I think this rumour is around because Tottenham sent their scouts multiple times to watch Italian players in general. They are very active on the Italian market,” Romano said.
“They always follow the Italian market, and this is why their scouts are always keeping an eye on some talents. Lauriente did very well last season for Sassuolo, and he is one of the players Tottenham are following and tracking, but they never made any bid. They never started a negotiation, so I can’t confirm that Tottenham are actively working on a move for Armand Lauriente.”
Tottenham have an impressive squad at their disposal, but they could certainly use more depth in the side.
Ange Postecoglou is lacking in the wide areas and Lauriente could prove to be a useful acquisition. He is versatile enough to operate on both flanks and he could be a backup option for players like Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski.
The opportunity to play for a Premier League club can be an attractive proposition and it would certainly be a major step up in his career. The 24-year-old is entering his peak years and he will look to compete at the highest level. A move to Tottenham would be the ideal next step in his career.
