Tottenham youngster Nathan Oduwa could be available on a free transfer next summer

A surprise battle is emerging in Italy for the signature of Nathan Oduwa, Tuttomercatoweb report.

Oduwa, 20, was once regarded as one of Tottenham’s brightest prospects but has seen his star wane over the past year.

He burst onto the scene with a dazzling display in Ledley King’s testimonial in 2014, and was tipped for the top.

His trickery created headlines on loan at Glasgow Rangers last year but his spell at Ibrox was cut short by the club without explanation.

Oduwa subsequently had an uninspiring loan spell at Colchester United, and is currently at Peterborough United.

His contract expires at the end of this season, and clubs in Serie A and Serie B are keen on his signature.

Atalanta, Bologna, and Salernitana are all claimed to have enquired after Oduwa, regarding the possibility of signing him as a free agent next summer if Tottenham do not renew his current deal
