Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing one of Europe’s hottest properties.
Reports emanating from Italy this morning suggest that Spurs have taken a keen interest in Inter Milan youngster Andrea Pinamonti, and are prepared to challenge Chelsea for his signature, according to Italian media outlet CalcioMercato.
The 17-year-old forward is highly regarded in his homeland, and has already earned three caps for his country at under-19 level.

And CalcioMercato claim that Tottenham want to add the Italian to their ranks to help provide extra cover for Harry Kane, with Vincent Janssen sill failing to impress.
The Italian media publication do go on to say that Inter are keen to keep hold of the striker, however, and a preparing a new five-year contract offer in an effort to ward off interest from Mauricio Pochettino’s men.

Pinamonti has been prolific for the Nerazzurri’s youth team so far this term, scoring 15 goals in 18 outings.
And whether a move to London at the age of just 17 would be beneficial to his development is up for debate, but if he did, there would not be a better manager to help aid his progression than Mauricio Pochettino.
