Tottenham ‘first in line’ to sign ‘great revelation’ of this season – ‘More liquidity’ makes Spurs favourites

Tottenham Hotspur signed Radu Drăgușin from Genoa in January and that didn’t stop them from initiating contact for Bologna’s Riccardo Calafiori.

Three months ago, Il Resto Del Carlino stated the north London club have asked about the 21-year-old, while on Tuesday, Gazzetta dello Sport explained that Spurs are at the window for him.

Juventus have joined Tottenham to sign the centre-back in the summer if a report from Tutto Juve is to be believed.

The Serie A side took the Italy U21 international from FC Basel last summer and he has excelled in his first season at the club, managing two assists from 31 matches.

It’s claimed Calafiori has been a ‘great revelation’ under Thiago Motta at Bologna and has established himself as one of the best promising young defenders in the league.

This seems to have resulted in interest from Tottenham and Juventus, and the report says it will be a battle between the two clubs for his signature.

Ange Postecoglou’s side would be ready to challenge the Old Lady and are ‘first in the line’ to sign him.

Tottenham have ‘greater liquidity’ than the Turin club and Tutto Juve state that makes them the ‘favourites’ to secure Calafiori’s services.

There is, however, no mention whether or not the Italian would be interested in making a switch to the Premier League side.
