Tottenham Hotspur’s new sporting director Fabio Paratici is already eyeing up transfer moves ahead of his move to North London, Calcio Mercato say.
The Italian source claims that Tottenham will definitely make a move for Dejan Kulusevski, who he rates very highly, and also Leonardo Bonucci.
Paratici worked with both players at Juventus and is now said to be eyeing them for Spurs.
What a start
Both targets look highly appealing for Tottenham, although landing either would surely be a challenge.
Bonucci is an important player for Juventus and while he would certainly be the leader that Tottenham are looking for at the back, he is now 34, and that may stand against him in any potential move.
Kulusevski certainly is young enough to appear on Tottenham’s list of transfer targets, given he is just 21.
But Juve surely would fight to keep hold of a player of his talents.
Even Cristiano Ronaldo has singled out Kulusevski as an impressive player, saying to Juventus’ official website: “He is a great talent. He will help us to win and achieve incredible things.
“I really like to see him, he has a great potential, and he’s an excellent player. I hope to play with him and score a lot of goals together.”
If he was to move to Spurs he would increase their attacking options even further.
Tottenham already have Dele Alli, Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso as creative players, but Kulusevski could bolster their options further.
And if Paratici did kick things off at Tottenham by bringing the Swede in, it would be a great way to get started with the Lilywhites.
