Earlier in January, Alfredo Pedulla covered Torino’s interest in Tottenham Hotspur youngster Callum Olusesi.
There was belief that despite his growing reputation, the teenager could be on his way out of London. Whether that would be on a temporary or permanent basis would be down to Spurs.
Torino were about to lose Kristjan Asllani, with Olusesi seen as a replacement. The Serie A club were considering an initial loan deal, and talks with Tottenham were ongoing over a move.
Then chatter around the transfer went quiet, and it was one of those which slipped away. Now, Pedulla has updated news on the 18-year-old’s situation.
The journalist is confident that the talent’s entourage has offered Torino the chance to land him. This has sparked some action in Turin, with the Italian side holding internal discussions about him.
Olusesi’s representatives are prepared for their client to leave Tottenham, clearly wanting to rush his development.
The midfielder assisted three times for club’s U19s side in the UEFA Youth League this season, starring in a 9-1 win over Sparta Prague. His last appearance in Premier League 2 came earlier this month against Burnley. He also captained the side in that tie, showing that he is clearly growing in stature.
Olusesi’s camp have clearly been given assurances over game time elsewhere, but it’s quite. gamble.
