Tottenham Hotspur have been looking to sign a new midfielder in this ongoing summer transfer window as Ange Postecoglou demands depth at the centre of the park. The Australian gaffer has already lost key figures in the dressing room from the midfield, and he is keen to sign a new player to ensure depth in the midfield.

The North Londoners have been linked with multiple players during the summer window, the latest of them being Juventus midfielder Manuel Locatelli.

Spurs face Locatelli competition

There have been reports suggesting the Italian midfielder’s links to White Hart Lane earlier this summer, with the midfielder not expected to be a part of Thiago Motta’s plans at the Turin-based club, per JuveLive.

The report also states that he would be open to a move to Spurs, with the Premier League giants ready to pay €24million plus add-ons for the 26-year-old’s services.

And while the Lilywhites push to acquire the Juventus midfielder, Spurs Premier League rivals Bournemouth are also considering an ambitious move for the midfielder this summer, per Tuttomercatoweb.

However, any prospect of a move to the Cherries is considered highly unlikely.

However, what should be a cause of concern for the North Londoners is the report stating that the former Bologna coach appears keen to keep hold of the player at Juventus in a squad role.

How serious is Tottenham’s pursuit

On paper, at the moment, Tottenham Hotspur is a more attractive prospect for the player than staying put at the Turin-based club or moving to Vitality Stadium. However, the reports suggesting Levy’s aggressive approach to landing his services are limited at the moment, which shows that the officials at Hotspur Way are still considering whether to move for the player or not.
