Tottenham would need to pay £21m for Manchester City, Aston Villa-linked midfielder | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur are continuing to explore their options ahead of the January transfer window, with midfield reinforcements reportedly high on the agenda.

While recent headlines have focused on Spurs’ interest in forwards and centre-backs, the club is now linked with several central midfielders as they look to strengthen under Ange Postecoglou.

With names like Randal Kolo Muani still in the rumour mill and reports of a young talent choosing Spurs over Manchester City, the club’s transfer strategy appears to be focused on building a competitive squad for the second half of the season.

The latest developments indicate that Tottenham are considering an intriguing option from Serie A.

According to CaughtOffside, Tottenham are monitoring Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli, who could be available for a fee of approximately £21m.

This price reportedly makes Fagioli one of the more economical options on Tottenham’s radar, especially when compared to other targets like Davide Frattesi from Inter Milan, whose valuation is nearly double.

Fagioli, an academy graduate at Juventus, is said to be out of favour with head coach Thiago Motta, who reportedly sees the midfielder as a poor fit for his tactical plans.

This situation has opened the door for a potential transfer, and Tottenham appear to be one of several clubs ready to take advantage.

However, Spurs will face competition from multiple Premier League sides, including Manchester City, Aston Villa, Fulham, Crystal Palace, and Nottingham Forest, with Crystal Palace allegedly already initiating talks with Juventus.

Why are Spurs interested in Nicolo Fagioli?

The 22-year-old midfielder is viewed as a promising talent with significant potential to develop under the right guidance.

Despite his limited opportunities at Juventus this season, Fagioli has shown glimpses of his technical ability and composure in central midfield.

For Tottenham, the addition of Fagioli could provide a valuable boost to their depth, especially considering injuries and the high demands of the Premier League.

With players like Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur in the squad, Fagioli could complement the current options while offering versatility in Postecoglou’s system.

Whether Spurs will move quickly to secure Fagioli’s signature remains to be seen, but his availability at £21m makes him an attractive proposition for a club seeking smart investments this winter.
