The Juventus ace would be a fantastic addition to Tottenham Hotspur’s squad.
As Mousa Dembele’s future at Tottenham continues to grow ever more uncertain with each day that passes, Mauricio Pochettino’s need for another midfielder becomes more pressing.
With this in mind, Spurs should ask Juventus for Stefano Sturaro in exchange for Dembele, with the Italian reportedly available for transfer this summer, according to Italian media outlet Sky Sports Italia.
Sturaro, 25, is a well-rounded midfielder, and can perform a variety of different roles, ranging from a deep-lying midfielder to more of a box-to-box type player.
The Italy international joined Juve from Genoa in the summer of 2014, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £4.5 million, and he has gone on to make 90 appearances for the Old Lady.
Despite his undoubted quality, Sturaro has found regular first-team action hard to come by in Turin, but that has mostly been due to the fact that Juve have a wealth of world-class talent in the midfield department.
A move to the Premier League with Tottenham could be just what the 25-year-old needs to reinvigorate his career, and with Juventus keen on signing Dembele, a straight swap involving both players might just be the ideal solution for all parties involved.
Sturaro is well-versed in playing under a well-drilled, disciplined regime at Juve, and his nouse and know-how would surely prove to be a fantastic asset for Spurs.
Whilst losing Dembele would be an undoubted blow for Tottenham, bringing in the Italy international in exchange would go a long way to filling the void left behind by the Belgian.
