Report: ‘London calling’ for Serie A defender as Spurs are keen on his signature

FirenzeViola have now talked up Tottenham’s chances of winning the race for Michael Kayode, revealing that Fiorentina might have to sacrifice the right-back due to their financial situation.

Tottenham are keen on Michael Kayode

This is the latest of a number of reports emerging from Italy crediting Spurs with an interest in Kayode, who burst onto the scene last season with energetic displays on the right flank for Viola.

The outlet claims that it is now a case of ‘London calling’ for the young defender, whose list of admirers is now growing.

Spurs are said to be prominent among those, with the 20-year-old said to be ‘appreciated’ by the Lilywhites, who have made it a habit of signing the best talent from Serie A over recent years.

Emerson out, Kayode in

The report alleges that Ange Postecoglou’s men have identified Kayode as the ideal option to replace the departing Emerson Royal and that Fiorentina are ready to drop their asking price for their academy graduate.

This is because Vincenzo Italiano’s men need a ‘major sale’ to balance their books, with Nikola Milenkovic’s move to Nottingham Forest not being overly profitable for the Serie A outfit.

Of course, Tottenham need to actually get Emerson Royal out the door before they can replace him.

I doubt Tottenham would want to enter the market for another right-back at the moment, particularly since Djed Spence does not appear close to a departure.

Archie Gray would likely be used as Pedro Porro’s main understudy by Postecoglou during the upcoming season.
