Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring Gianluca Scamacca of Sassuolo, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Italian publication have claimed that Tottenham are looking at Scamacca as a potential alternative to Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic.

Gazzetta dello Sport have reported that two major clubs are interested in Scamacca, and one of them is Tottenham.

The 22-year-old striker is reportedly on the list of strikers Tottenham managing director of football Fabio Paratici is looking at.

Would Gianluca Scamacca make Tottenham better?

In our view, Tottenham will have to be patient if they sign Scamacca in the January transfer window or in the summer of 2022.

Yes, the 22-year-old is a very promising young striker, but we should not expect him to hit the ground running and start banging in the goals at Spurs.

Harry Kane is still the number one striker at Tottenham, and Scamacca should be signed with a view to learning from him and gradually reaching that level.

The Italy international has made eight starts and nine substitute appearances in Serie A for Sassuolo so far this season.

Scamacca has scored five goals in those games.

According to a report in The Guardian in December 2021, one of Scamacca’s great footballing idols is AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
