The center-back Alessandro Buongiorno has attracted interest for a summer transfer, with Tottenham reportedly leading the race. Torino has set a price of £35 million for the 24-year-old, who has impressed in Serie A this season, making 26 appearances for the club. Buongiorno’s ability to also play at left-back adds to his appeal, especially as Spurs have struggled with injuries in that position. Other clubs in Italy have also been quoted the same price for the player, who has made 106 appearances for Torino and earned caps for the Italian national team.
Tottenham’s manager Ange Postecoglou is expected to make moves in the summer transfer window to bolster the squad after a season hampered by injuries. Despite setbacks, the team remains in contention for Europa League qualification. The recent defeat in the North London Derby against Arsenal highlighted the need for improvement in defensive resilience, according to Postecoglou. The manager emphasized the need to protect their goal better in transition moments and set-piece situations.
The defeat to Arsenal has impacted Spurs’ pursuit of a higher standing in the league, and with a busy summer transfer window ahead, the team is looking to strengthen its squad.
