Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Fiorentina defender Michael Kayode.
According to a report from Tuttomercatoweb, Tottenham are ‘thinking of’ making a move for the 19-year-old wide player.
Kayode is naturally a right-back but he can operate as the right-sided winger as well. He could prove to be the ideal replacement for Emerson Royal if the Brazilian decides to move on. He has been linked with a move to AC Milan in recent weeks.
Emerson Royal needs to leave Tottenham in order to play regularly and a move to AC Milan would be ideal for him
Tottenham will have to replace him adequately this summer and Kayode seems like the ideal acquisition. The 19-year-old has the quality to develop into a key player for the North London club. In the meantime, he will be able to compete with Pedro Porro for the starting spot.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be an attractive one for the young defender and it remains to be seen whether Fiorentina are prepared to sell him. He has a contract with them until 2028 and the Italian outfit will want to hold onto him for the long term. Even if they decide to sell him this summer, he is likely to cost the premium.
Tottenham will want to secure Champions League qualification next season and they will look to fight for trophies as well. It will be interesting to see if they can bring in the right reinforcements and strengthen the squad adequately.
