Juventus are reportedly keen on Tottenham Hotspur’s Mousa Dembele.
According to Italian media outlet Calcio Mercato, Juventus officials were extremely impressed with Tottenham star Mousa Dembele’s display against their side in the Champions League clash at Wembley last night, and are lining up a summer swoop for the Belgian.
The 30-year-old joined Spurs from Fulham in the summer of 2012, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £15 million, and he has since gone on to establish himself as one of the continent’s best box-to-box midfielders.
The Belgium international has been at the heart of everything good that the Lilywhites have done this season, and his importance to his team has been underlined by their struggles when he has been unavailable for selection.
Calcio Mercato claim that Juventus see Dembele as the ideal summer signing, with Max Allegri keen on adding more energy to his engine room in Turin.
The former Fulham man is still under contract with Tottenham until the summer of 2019, and despite his outstanding quality, Spurs might just be tempted to cash in on him, considering the fact that he is set to turn 31 in July.
Having said that, Mauricio Pochettino will surely want to keep hold of one of his most important players.
It will all depend on how much Juve are prepared to pay for Dembele, and whether Daniel Levy views any potential deal as good business for his football club.
