Tottenham Hotspur are one of multiple Premier League clubs looking to bring a Serie A marksman to England in January.
Regular readers of Spurs Web will be aware that a number of centre-forwards have been mooted as targets for Tottenham ahead of the January window.
It has been suggested that Spurs are willing to cash in on their top scorer Richarlison, as Thomas Frank wants to upgrade on the Brazilian.
Back in October, it emerged that Tottenham’s scouts were in Italy to watch a Parma striker in action, and it has now been claimed that the Lilywhites are seriously considering a January move for him.
Tottenham in four-horse race to sign Mateo Pellegrino
Mateo Pellegrino has impressed for Parma this campaign, having found the back of the net seven times in 15 matches across all competitions.
According to CalcioMercato, his performances have caught the attention of AC Milan, who want to add a top-class striker to their squad.
However, it is explained that the Rossoneri may not be able to land Pellegrino as he is also attracting interest from three Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur.
It is revealed that the Lilywhites, West Ham and Nottingham Forest have all ‘set their sights’ on the Parma man as we edge closer to the mid-season transfer window.
Pellegrino is not expected to come cheap for Spurs
CalcioMercto say that it will take a ‘huge offer’ for one of the Premier League trio to land the 24-year-old in January.
It is revealed that Parma turned down a €15m (£13m) offer from an unnamed Premier League club for Pellegrino in the summer, and it is going to take a much bigger bid for them to consider a sale.
The outlet adds that the Italian centre-forward is more likely to be on the market next summer as he is seen as crucial to helping Parma avoid relegation this term.
