Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing the Roma star.
According to a report from AS Roma Live, Italian giants Roma are keen to sign Tottenham midfielder Victor Wanyama, and whilst Mauricio Pochettino will surely want to keep hold of the Kenyan, it could present Spurs with the opportunity to bring one of their long-term targets to north London.
The Lilywhites are interested in signing Roma winger Diego Perotti, according to a report from Sport Mediaset, and Pochettino should use the Italian club’s reported interest in Wanyama to help engineer a move for the Argentine.
The 30-year-old possesses all of the qualities that Pochettino looks for in a player, although his advancing years might be a concern for the Tottenham boss.
Perotti was in fine form for Roma last season, chalking up eight goals and five assists in 35 appearances in all competitions, and the manner in which he operates would surely make him a hit in north London.
The five-capped Argentina international is a left winger by trade, but he is equally as comfortable with both feet – something that makes him a nightmare to defend against.
He wold provide Poch with an entirely different option in the final third, and the Tottenham boss could use Roma’s reported interest in Wanyama to his advantage by demanding Perotti in return.
