Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle are circling over a Serie A midfielder ahead of the summer transfer window.
It has been reported that the Lilywhites are keen on adding a creative passer to their midfield, and that is not surprising given that they have struggled to progress the ball up the pitch all season.
Some sources have suggested that Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton is Tottenham’s dream midfield target, but their chances of landing the England international appear slim.
The North Londoners have now seemingly reignited their interest in a long-term midfield target.
Tottenham battle Premier League rivals for Nicolo Fagioli
Fiorentina’s Nicolo Fagioli was heavily linked with a move to Spurs during January of 2025, but he swapped Juventus for Fiorentina that transfer window.
It appears that Tottenham Hotspur have reignited its interest in the 25-year-old, more than a year after initially exploring a deal for the midfielder.
This is according to journalist Marco Conterio, who claims that Tottenham and Newcastle have ‘genuine interest’ in Fagioli in light of his impressive displays at the Artemio Franchi Stadium.
He adds that both Spurs and the Magpies like the Italy international’s profile, and he is one of the first names on their summer transfer wishlist.
Ange Postecoglou ended Spurs’ Fagioli pursuit last year
According to reports, Tottenham was Fagioli’s preferred destination in January of last year when he left Juventus.
However, it was claimed by some sources that Ange Postecoglou refused to greenlight Spurs’ move for the Italian midfielder, with the Australian not convinced of the 25-year-old’s suitability for his system.
Crystal Palace, West Ham and Fulham were also credited with an interest in Fagioli last year, and it appears that the race for his signature will once again be hotly contested this summer if he does become available.
