Spurs are interested in a player who has been described as one of the best in Italy’s Serie A, according to Fabrizio Roma, a highly-regarded transfer journalist.

Who have Tottenham signed 2023?

Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou has led the club to the top of the Premier League so far this season, taking his brand of thrilling, attacking football to the next level. The Lilywhites have won four of their opening six league games, and are one of the top-scoring teams in the division – just behind champions Manchester City and runners-up Newcastle.

Spurs have benefitted from the 2023 summer transfer window, which saw the arrivals of goalkeeper-cum-prospect Ashley Phillips, defender-cum-centre-back Micky Van de Ven, England midfielder James Maddison, striker-cum-winger Manor Solomon, forward Alejo Veliz, and Welsh forward Brennan Johnson.

All of these players have joined Spurs and will provide further depth to what has already been an impressive first-half of the season for the Magpies.

Maddison, on the other hand, has paid relatively low fees for a player of his quality.

Tottenham, led by chairman Daniel Levy, have seen the departure of a number of high-profile players in the summer transfer window, including:

Harry Kane

Sergio Reguilon

Joe Rodon

Djed Spence

Harry Winks

Alfie Devine

Troy Parrott

Dane Scarlett

Davinson Sanchez

Tanguy ndombele

All outgoing on loan or on a permanent basis.

What’s the latest Spurs transfer news?

Tottenham are said to be interested in signing a new centre-back in January, with sections of the press also naming Lloyd Kelly from Bournemouth and Gleison Bromer from Juventus as potential targets. Spurs are also tipped to be interested in Brentford striker Ivan toney, who is expected to be in high demand when the new year arrives.

Armand Lauriente is another player to have been mentioned this week, having impressed for Sassuolo in 2022 and 2023, scoring seven goals and providing six assists in Serie A last season, helping the club avoid relegation.

Transfer reporter Romano has revealed that Tottenham Hotspur’s scouting system has been keeping an eye on Argentine forward Lauriente, who has been praised by journalists as one of the best players in Serie A. According to Romano, Spurs have been monitoring Lauriente’s progress, but have yet to make a move. He said

“What I can tell you is I think this rumour is around because Tottenham sent their scouts multiple times to watch Italian players in general. They are very active on the Italian market.

“They always follow the Italian market, and this is why their scouts are always keeping an eye on some talents. Lauriente did very well last season for Sassuolo, and he is one of the players Tottenham are following and tracking, but they never made any bid. They never started a negotiation, so I can’t confirm that Tottenham are actively working on a move for Armand Lauriente.”
