Tottenham Hotspur are plotting a move for a France international centre-back, but a bid may not arrive from North London this month.
Radu Dragusin continues to be heavily linked with an exit from Tottenham this month, and it remains unclear if the Romanian is heading back to Serie A.
Additionally, Spurs have also lost Ben Davies to a long-term injury, which potentially necessitates the need for further reinforcements in defence.
It was previously reported that the Lilywhites are plotting a move for a versatile Juvetus defender, and there has now been a fresh update on the North Londoners’ pursuit of the player in question.
Tottenham want to sign Pierre Kalulu but not this transfer window
A new report in Tutto Juve has now backed up Tottenham’s interest in Juve defender Pierre Kalulu, who, although he is a centre-back by trade, can also play as a right-back.
It is revealed that the Frenchman’s versatility appeals to Thomas Frank’s side, who are now ‘on the move’ to try and sign him.
However, Kalulu is not a target for the current transfer window. It is revealed that Spurs will continue monitoring the 25-year-old and ‘be ready should a real deal arise at the end of the season’.
Spurs facing competition from Premier League rivals for Kalulu
TuttoJuve say that Aston Villa are also on the Juve man’s train, with the Lilywhites and Villans potentially set to ‘battle it out’ for the player.
The outlet explains that while a move from Unai Amer’s men for Kalulu is not imminent at this stage, it remains a ‘concrete possibility’ at the end of this season.
This report comes just a couple of days after Calciomercato.it claimed that Man United may also challenge Spurs for the Juve centre-back, who is valued at around €30m (£26m).
