Tottenham Hotspur are keen admirers of the Fiorentina ace, according to reports.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has a lot of work to do this summer, if he is to build a squad of players who are capable of making the jump up to the next level.
One particular area where the Argentine will want to strengthen is his attacking department, with more competition required for the likes of Lucas Moura and Heung-Min Son on the wings.
According to the Sun, one of Spurs’ key transfer targets is £53 million-rated Fiorentina winger Federico Chiesa, the son of Italian legend Enrico.
If Tottenham are to bring the 20-year-old to north London, however, they will need to act fast, with Italian media outlet Calcio Mercato reporting that both Inter Milan and Juventus are lining up summer swoops for the Fiorentina ace.
Chiesa began his career in the senior team with La Viola two years ago, and has gone on to really impress for the Serie A outfit, chalking up 10 goals and 12 assists in 72 appearances in all competitions.
The Italy international has a wonderfully bright future in the game, and has the kind of talent that could see him go on to become one of the world’s best players.
Whilst £53 million for Chiesa seems like a lot of money, it could turn out to be excellent business from Tottenham, but they must move quickly if they are to beat the Serie A duo to his signature.
