Tottenham transfer news: Luis Suarez and Marco Asensio targetted, update on Dembele, and more, 21st December 2017

#4 A versatile player from Florence

Chiesa is a man in form

Spurs are a good team, they have established that very well. However, they always lack something—a very minute thing—that doesn’t allow them to reach the pinnacle.

Last season, and even the season before—and even now, for that matter—they lacked a player who could score the goals in the absence of Harry Kane. This season, though, they are also lacking the penetration ability that they had in the last two seasons (that may sound wrong, but I swear I didn’t have ill intentions… okay maybe I did).

And to solve that problem, they are now looking at Fiorentino forward-cum-winger-cum-midfielder Federico Chiesa. As per the Sun, Spurs are acquiring the signature of the Italian, who is valued at £53 million by his club, and is on the radar of clubs like Paris-Saint Germain, Roma, Juventus and Napoli as well.

Too steep for a 20-year-old with half-a-season worth’s good, no? Ah, well, welcome to modern day football.
