Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly looking to step up their efforts to sign Bologna star Riccardo Calafiori in the summer.
this summer.
The Lilywhites currently have Radu Dragusin, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven as centre-backs.
However, Ange Postecoglou appears to be looking to sign a new centre-back ahead of next season to add more depth to the backline, especially after they qualified for Europe.
Already with two right-footed centre-backs, the Lilywhites boss appears ready to sign a new left-footed centre-back to support Van de Ven next season, with Calafiori emerging as an option serious.
The Italian burst onto the scene after putting in impressive displays for Bologna last season and following recent eye-catching displays, he has now secured his place in the starting XI of Italy.
According to a report from Tutto Juve, Tottenham are interested in signing Calafiori and are expected to step up their efforts to lure him to the newly renovated White Hart Lane.

However, Italian media claim Calafiori does not want to leave Italy and will only join Juventus if he leaves Bologna this summer.
The Bianconeri recently appointed Thiago Motta as their new coach and under the Italian’s guidance, Calafiori showed his best form at Bologna last season.
So it looks like the pair are ready to reunite as Juventus also want to sign him.
Tottenham will therefore need to find a way to convince the 22-year-old to move to the newly renovated White Hart Lane if they decide to sign him this summer.
Calafiori is a versatile player as he can play as both center back and left back.
He has all the attributes to become a world-class defender in the future, so he would be a huge coup for Tottenham if they bought him.
However, it seems unlikely that the north London club will be able to sign the Bologna star in this transfer window.
