Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur and Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are interested in signing Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus, according to TMW.
What’s the story?
TMW have reported that both Tottenham and Arsenal are keen on signing Kulusevski, who can operate as a right-winger, midfielder or further upfront.
Juventus valued the 21-year-old at €35 million (£29.98 million) in the summer of 2021.
Tottenham manager Antonio Conte reportedly wanted to sign Kulusevski for Inter Milan before the youngster moved to Juventus.
Spurs managing director of football, Fabio Paratici, rates the Sweden international highly and considers him a ‘gem’, according to the report.
It was actually Paratici who signed Kulusevski for Juventus from Parma.
Could Dejan Kulusevski move to Spurs or Arsenal?
TMW have claimed that Kulusevski’s departure from Juventus cannot be excluded.
The 21-year-old has made two starts and nine substitute appearances in Serie A so far this season.
The youngster has played 70 minutes in the Champions League so far this campaign.
In our view, Juventus are unlikely to sell Kulusevski in the January transfer window.
Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri is likely to persevere with the youngster until the end of the season.
Perhaps in the summer of 2022, a move to Spurs or Arsenal could happen.
