Paulo Dybala is being backed to join Tottenham Hotspur this summer by Italian agent Claudio Ancellucci as he prepares to leave Juventus.

Dybala is leaving Juventus this summer with his contract expiring at the end of June.

The Argentina international took to social media last week to share the news that he has decided to leave Juve this summer.

Dybala played his final home game for Juve on Sunday night, leaving the pitch in tears as Juventus drew 2-2 with Lazio.

Signed from Palermo back in 2015, Dybala racked up 115 goals and 48 assists in 292 games for Juventus.

Far from finished at 28, Dybala will now enter the summer transfer market as a very appealing free agent.

There will be plenty of clubs looking towards Dybala and one of them could be Tottenham Hotspur.

Director of football Fabio Paratici was at Juventus when they signed Dybala and signing him again must be attractive.

Antonio Conte wants proven quality in his Tottenham side and Dybala fits the bill – even if it’s unclear just where he would fit in.

Tottenham have a settled front three right now in Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski.

Dybala playing as a 10 with those three players would be ideal but Conte plays a 3-4-3 rather than a 4-2-3-1.

Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla reported last week that Tottenham have made an offer to Dybala.

Italian agent Claudio Anellucci has now offered his thoughts on Dybala’s future whilst speaking to Tuttomercatoweb.

Anellucci has suggested that Dybala doesn’t really belong in Italian football anymore and should head to the Premier League, naming Tottenham as the potential destination.

“He’s a guy who may seem unfriendly, but he needs love, affection, to feel loved,” said Anellucci. “The next club will have to give him this. In this situation he gives 300%. If I had to give advice, I haven’t seen him staying in Italy for a long time. But in the Premier League maybe at Tottenham,” he added.

This would be a huge coup for Tottenham and securing Champions League football on Sunday may give them an even greater chance at landing Dybala.
