According to the print edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (01/06/23 as relayed by Sport Witness), Tottenham Hotspur hold an interest in Salernitana striker Boulaye Dia.
Dia joined Salernitana on loan from Villarreal last summer, with the Italian club having the option to make the deal permanent for €12m (£10.3m).
The centre-forward has had an exceptional first season in the Serie A, having found the back of the net 16 times and provided six assists so far (Transfermarkt).
Gazzetta say that Salernitana have already made the decision to activate the option to sign Dia but it remains to be seen whether he will be at the Arechi Stadium at the start of next season.
This is because the 26-year-old’s displays this season have allegedly caught the attention of several heavy hitters across Europe, including Tottenham.
The report states that the Lilywhites might face competition from the likes of Sevilla, Fiorentina, AS Roma and a few other clubs for Dia but the North Londoners might have an advantage as the Senegal international dreams of playing in the Premier League.
Spurs Web Opinion
There is no doubt that we need a wide-forward or even two this summer, now that Moura and Danjuma have left.
However, I do not expect us to enter the market for a centre-forward if Harry Kane stays, with Richarlison more than capable of filling in as a number nine if the 29-year-old needs a rest.
