Report: Spurs and Newcastle could battle it out for Serie A superstar
According to CalcioMercatoWeb, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United have both shown interest in signing Federico Chiesa, who Juventus are willing to cash in on.
After a terrific start to his spell in Turin following his switch from Fiorentina, Chiesa’s career has stalled a bit over the last two years due to a combination of injuries and loss of form.
CalcioMercatoWeb explain that Juve need to offload some of their big-name players, given their financial problems and their need to strengthen some areas of the pitch.
The 26-year-old, who is contracted at the Allianz Stadium until 2025, is thought to be one of the players that the Old Lady are ready to move on.
The outlet adds that the Serie A giants would be more than happy to sell the versatile attacker if they receive an offer of around €60m (£52.3m).
Spurs are Newcastle are both interested in Chiesa
It is alleged that the player is ‘very much liked’ by both Tottenham and Newcastle, who could both ‘easily have the right budget at their disposal’ to green-light the operation.
Meanwhile, TEAMtalk have asserted that along with Spurs and Newcastle, Chiesa is also admired by both Manchester United and Liverpool.
Spurs Web Opinion
Tottenham are likely to be in the market for a wide player, given the injuries to both Solomon and Perisic. There is no doubt about Chiesa’s talent and he could potentially thrive in Postecoglou’s system. However, it would be a risk to invest a big amount in the 26-year-old, given his injury record.
