Tottenham Hotspur were last week credited with interest in Fiorentina attacker Federico Bernardeschi.
The London Evening Standard reported that Mauricio Pochettino is a big fan of the attacker, and is keen on bringing him to the club.

Fiorentina though are unwilling to let him leave unless they receive an offer of around £40 million, a staggering fee which would be a Tottenham club record.
So how does Bernardeschi feel about it all? He will not be pushing for a move, that’s for sure.
Speaking to Corriere dello Sport last night after Fiorentina’s Coppa Italia win over Chievo, Bernardeschi re-iterated his happiness at the club when quizzed over the speculation.
He said simply: “I’m fine with Fiorentina and I think only about the present.”

Bernardeschi is just 22-years-old and can play in a range of positions in attack. This season for Fiorentina he has featured on both wings and in a central role behind a striker.
He has scored nine goals in 18 Serie A games, while providing two assists.
