Club now line up player who West Ham sold for just £3m as replacement for £70m Tottenham target
Juventus have now lined up Felipe Anderson, who West Ham sold in 2021, to replace Tottenham target Federico Chiesa.
That’s according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
So, how is the situation with Tottenham’s Federico Chiesa and Felipe Anderson? Let us have a look
Juventus is considering replacing Federico Chiesa with Felipe Anderson.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italy international is presently refusing to sign a new contract in Turin, with his current deal scheduled to expire in little over a year.
According to the Italian news outlet, Juventus cannot afford to lose Chiesa, who is valued at £70 million, on a free transfer, thus they are ready to sell this summer.
Those preparations include finding a replacement, with Anderson, who West Ham sold to Lazio for £2.6 million in 2021, being lined up.
According to Football Transfers, Spurs are keeping an eye on the Italian’s position at the Allianz Stadium.
According to TuttoJuve, if Chiesa performs well at UEFA EURO 2024 this summer, Tottenham will be even more motivated to bid for him.
The Juventus number seven has struggled this season, receiving boos from his own fans recently, scoring only six goals in 21 Serie A outings.
Spurs have alternatives.
If a move for Chiesa fails for whatever reason, Tottenham has other wide strikers to consider.
According to the Independent, one option is Wolves No. 7 Pedro Neto, whom Ange Postecoglou is said to like much.
The Portugal international is having a tremendous season, scoring three goals and providing 11 assists in 21 games across all competitions.
If that pursuit fails, Spurs may simply exercise their option to buy Timo Werner on a permanent basis for £17 million, which RB Leipzig expects to happen.
Keep an eye on events at Tottenham this summer, as a new forward may arrive.
