Tottenham’s hopes of landing one reported target this summer have just been given what looks like a timely boost ahead of a pre-season friendly.
Spurs are hoping to use the next two weeks to really push on and improve the squad.
So far, only Archie Gray has arrived for money while Timo Werner has come back on loan.
Ange Postecoglou, though, is keen to add more players and has admitted a new striker is wanted, with reports suggested Dominic Solanke is on Spurs’ radar.
Of course, other attacking players are also been linked with the club. And one of those is Italian striker, Federico Chiesa.
Reports have suggested Chiesa is pushing to join Tottenham and now, it looks like Juventus are actively taking steps at their end to get him out of the door.
Juventus leave Federico Chiesa out of pre-season game after Tottenham links
According to a report from Calciomercato, Juventus are leaving Chiesa out of the game against Brest.
It comes as increasing interest from England is there with Chiesa.
As we know, Chiesa is being linked with a move to the Premier League and Tottenham are one of the clubs considered really keen on taking him.
Arsenal, too, are also in the mix to sign Chiesa with continued suggestions he’d like a move to The Emirates to join international teammate, Riccardo Calafiori.
Chiesa, who has been dubbed a ‘world-class‘ talent in his homeland, is very much looking to leave Juventus and could be available for as little as £25m.
Chiesa starred in Euro 2020 for Italy as they beat England in the final but has since seen his stock fall a bit after his time in Turin.
A move, then, looks set to happen before the deadline in a few weeks.
More Tottenham news
Tottenham Hotspur’s pre-season has provided a number of the club’s budding young talents to really show thier worth.
Ange Postecoglou has offered minutes to his promising academy prospects as he awaits further summer signings.
Tottenham are also waiting on the last of their international representatives to return from their delayed summer holidays.
The Lilywhites now have four friendlies under their belt and there have been some really impressive showings from the club’s academy players.
One player who has caught the eye, in particular, is 16-year-old winger Mikey Moore who has become the talk of the town around Spurs.
And journalist Alasdair Gold has now heard something which has really shocked him about the youngster behind the scenes in Spurs training.
What Mikey Moore has done to impress in Tottenham training
Towards the backend of last season, there were some strong suggestions that Moore should be rewarded for a stunning season with the U18s.
The 16-year-old returned 14 goals and eight assists in the U18 Premier League last season which saw him earn two senior appearances after training with the first team for weeks.
Even Ange Postecoglou has said how ‘excited’ of a talent Moore is proving to be.
Moore has provided Tottenham with three goal contributions in his four pre-season appearances as he really mixes it with the senior side.
