Tottenham target another Juventus star but face competition from West Ham United | OneFootball

In approximately four months, the new transfer window will open, and Tottenham are already preparing for it.

For weeks now, we've been hearing about potential signings the club could make to strengthen the squad.

Among the rumours is Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, who has been one of the most talked-about names in the transfer market, not just for Tottenham but for other top clubs as well. Thanks to Fabrizio Romano, we now know that Vlahovic could be on his way out of Juventus very soon.

Another major name linked to the club is none other than former Spurs star Harry Kane, with reports suggesting he could leave Bayern.

Now, attention has turned to Juventus defender Federico Gatti.

According to a report from TV Play, Spurs are ready to make an offer for Gatti, who is expected to be available for £16.5m this summer.

The same report states that Juventus' recent Champions League exit has put pressure on the club, leading to a significant squad overhaul this summer.

However, Tottenham are not the only Premier League side interested in the Italian defender, with West Ham United also reportedly keeping an eye on him.

Gatti could opt to stay at Juventus

Spurs have faced a series of disappointing defeats, drawing heavy criticism from fans.

That being said, much of their struggle has been due to an ongoing injury crisis, particularly in defence.

So, the potential addition of Federico Gatti could be a much-needed boost for the North London club.

A hopeful sign for Spurs, though, is that Cristian Romero has recently been spotted training with the team again, meaning he could soon return to action to help shore up the defence.

Still, while Federico Gatti would be a great signing for Tottenham, securing his transfer might be more difficult than expected, as the defender previously expressed his desire to stay at Juventus after rejecting a potential move to Nottingham Forest in January.

Gatti’s future remains uncertain, and it will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds in the summer.
