The Napoli ace would be an excellent addition for Tottenham Hotspur.

Mauricio Pochettino manager

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will surely be desperate to bolster his ranks in the summer, having failed to sign a single player during the last two transfer windows.

One particular area where the Argentine will want to strengthen at Spurs will be his central midfield department, having lost Mousa Dembele to China last month.

With this in mind, Poch should consider going back in for Napoli ace Amadou Diawara.

The 21-year-old is a tenacious, deep-lying midfielder, and with his game being based around his energy and drive, he really would be an excellent addition for Tottenham.

Diawara would certainly help fill the void left behind by Dembele, and he possesses all of the attributes that Pochetitno looks for in a player.

The Guinean has already made 126 career appearances for club and country, so he is relatively experienced in spite of his tender years.

Tottenham have allegedly been interested in signing the Napoli youngster before, with Transfer Market Web claiming that the north London outfit actually made a bid for him last summer.

The Serie A outfit value Diawara at around €40 million (£34.1 million), according to Radio CRC, and in today’s day and age that would surely represent decent value for money for Spurs.

And for that price, Pochettino should not hesitate to bring the 21-year-old to Tottenham in the summer.
