The agent of rumoured Tottenham target Michael Kayode has confirmed that multiple Premier League clubs have expressed interest in signing the young right-back ahead of the summer.
Kayode has been a revelation since his switch to Fiorentina last season, with the 19-year-old quickly establishing a big reputation in the Serie A.
The teenager might even be dreaming of a call-up to Italy’s squad ahead for the European championship if he maintains his current form over the next few months.
It was reported by HITC recently that a number of English sides, including Spurs, are keeping a close eye on the pacy and athletic full-back.
The report revealed that scouts from the North London side have been joined by the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham and Aston Villa at the Artemio Franchi Stadium this season to run the rule over the youngster.
Premier League clubs are looking at Michael Kayode
Kayode’s agent Andrea Ritorni has now confirmed that he has fielded requests from England for the defender but insisted that Fiorentina have nothing to worry about for the time being.
Ritorni told Radio Firenze Viola about his client: “Yes, (there is interest) but Fiorentina shouldn’t worry. There is a contract that speaks for him.
“Michael is doing well with this club and in this team. Of course, various Premier League teams follow him and have followed him. But this is normal, it’s part of football and life.
“However, Fiorentina has secured him with a nice contract and many bonuses. Let’s think about doing well now and in the future for the purple shirt.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Right-back looks likely to be one of the areas that Tottenham will strengthen in the summer. Given the success the club have had when it comes to recruiting from Serie A over recent years, one would certainly not rule out a potential bid or two for Kayode.
