Offer matched: Spurs target “unstoppable” £25m Johnson rival
It’s set to be a big transfer window for Tottenham Hotspur this summer as Daniel Levy and Co look to land the right players for Ange Postecoglou’s exciting project.
The Australian managed to bring the team back into European football last season, but a collapse towards the end of the campaign meant it was the Europa League, not the Champions League.
To take that next stop, the North Londoners will need to sign some quality additions over the next couple of months, and based on recent reports, that may well happen.
The latest star touted for a move to N17 is an incredibly exciting winger who would help bring more goals to the side and challenge Brennan Johnson for a spot in the starting lineup.
Tottenham Hotspur transfer news
According to a recent report from Caught Offside, Tottenham are interested in signing Juventus and Italy star Federico Chiesa this summer.
The 26-year-old’s £150k-per-week contract expires next summer, and according to the report, the Lilywhites have matched the €6m-per-year offer the Old Lady have made him, which converts to around £5m.
However, it’s claimed that the winger wants a wage of closer to €8m-per-year – £7m – and, according to reports earlier this week, it’ll cost North Londoners around £25m if they want to prise him out of Turin a year early.
