Tottenham Hotspur are already ahead of the game in the transfer window after completing deals for Fraser Forster and Ivan Perisic upon the expiry of their contracts at Southampton and Inter Milan this month, but they are now looking to splash the cash on a marquee signing.
And it is Perisic’s teammate, Alessandro Bastoni, who Antonio Conte is keen on bringing to north London this summer as he looks to bolster his defensive options, although he faces a tough battle in order to do so.
As a result, Spurs are now lining up a £43 million swoop for ‘plan B’ Gleison Bremer if they fail to land Bastoni, as they look to waste no time in preparing for next season.
