Federico Chiesa, a standout for Juventus, is the most recent player to be connected to a move to Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs have had an incredibly great start to the 2023–24 season; they are presently leading the Premier League and have not lost.
However, Ange Postecoglou’s roster is somewhat thin, which will get worse in the New Year when club captain Son Heung-min travels to the Asian Cup, while central midfielders Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr are also scheduled to play in the Africa Cup of Nations. As a result, the North Londoners may decide to enter the transfer window in January in an effort to earn a spot in the UEFA Champions League for the next campaign.
Now, Italian outlet Calciomercato have reported that the Lilywhites are keen on Juventus forward Chiesa, with his future in Turin said to be uncertain. It is claimed that the Italian international could decide to leave the Serie A giants in the New Year, with Newcastle United also interested.
The report goes on to say that the Old Lady values Chiesa at €60million (£52 million). The 26-year-old has enjoyed a stellar start to the 2023/24 campaign, netting four times in eight league outings.
football.london spoke to Italian football expert Kaustubh Pandey regarding Chiesa during the summer, when he claimed that the former Fiorentina winger could be available for less than the quoted price. “It looks as if Juve would want around €45 million to €50million for him, as they want to recover as much as they can from what they spent on him,” Pandey said
“That is similar to what they’re trying for Dusan Vlahovic. There is talk of a €60m price tag for Chiesa but considering Juve’s situation, they will settle for less.”
