Towards the end of the last January window, Tottenham Hotspur were linked with a move for Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat.
Antonio Conte hadn’t been at Spurs for long and having found difficulties signing other players, La Viola’s midfielder was seen as an option.
Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski signed for Spurs on deadline day of that winter market, and the deal was clearly a good one for the Premier League club and their manager.
Once the window closed, it was reported in Italy that Amrabat had been keen on the move to England, turning down other options to hold out for it. It didn’t happen, and now there’s a suggestion Tottenham could return for a second try.
La Repubblica, via Viola News, now report Conte’s side are ‘ready to get underway’ with another attempt. He’s impressed at the World Cup for Morocco and is currently showing the ‘best version’ of himself.
The 26-year-old has a contract with Fiorentina which lasts until June 2024, putting La Viola under a little pressure regarding his future. They want a renewal, but a strong Tottenham attempt in January could change things.
Amrabat would be seen as a reasonably priced squad addition, and a player Conte is known to like.
