Lazio Star’s Recent Exploits Earn Him Interest From Tottenham | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly set their sights on Gustav Isaksen who has been one of Lazio’s most in-form players as of late.

The Background

The 23-year-old made the move from FC Midtjylland in the summer of 2023, and had his highs and lows during his first campaign in the Italian capital. Nevertheless, the winger has been on a steady rise this term under the guidance of Marco Baroni who has been heavily relying on his services.

Lazio’s In-Form Man

Although the Biancocelesti have been struggling for form in recent weeks, the Dane has been one of their few bright spots, providing goals and assists on a regular basis thanks to soaring self-confidence. His most memorable moment was definitely the last-minute winner against Viktoria Plzen in the first leg of the Europa League Round of 16 when Lazio were reduced to nine men.

According to TV Play, Isaksen’s exploits haven’t gone unnoticed, as he earned the admiration of Tottenham. As the source explains the Spurs could launch an onslaught to sign the Denmark international in the summer.

The North Londoners will likely have to splash a figure of around €40 million to secure the services of the winger who is tied to Lazio with a contract valid until June 2028.

Will Gustav Isaksen Make Way for Federico Chiesa?

The source links this hypothetical operation to the Aquile’s reported interest in Federico Chiesa who is keen to leave Liverpool on the back of a forgettable season. The report believes Lazio would only be able to afford the former Juventus star and his hefty wages by selling one of their biggest assets, which could well be Isaksen since Chiesa represents a like-to-like replacement.
