The Italian star is contracted to Juventus but currently playing his football with Atalanta.
Leonardo Spinazzola
It was recently reported by Calcio News 24 that Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tracks on Italian full-back Leonardo Spinazzola. The 23-year-old can play at both left-back and on the left-wing, playing his best football when teams play three at the back. This is a system Mauricio Pochettino has been looking to use on a regular basis and is behind the interest
However, Spurs are not alone. Juventus are also keen on the player.
He is currently out on loan at Atalanta from Juventus, after originally joining the Bianconeri in 2012. He has spent time out on loan with five other teams since arriving at Juventus and it seems he is now ready to join up with the club permanently.
Speaking to Sky Sports Italia he admitted that he is happy to stay at Atalanta for another season , but that Juventus remain his long-term goal:
“Earlier this year I did not expect to reach the national team, it is a starting point. It ‘s more difficult to continue, no doubt.
“Now I just think about Atalanta, with which I am linked by another year of contract. (But) in my head there is Juve.”
Tottenham of course have two good left-back options in Danny Rose and Ben Davies but whilst Rose is comfortable as a wing-back, Davies prefers being part of a back three when Poch plays the new system.
Leonardo Spinazzola
Tottenham have therefore been linked with Luke Shaw recently, especially with Manchester City loitering around the services of England international Rose.
But it appears Spinazzola will not be solving any problems at Tottenham in the near future.
