Tottenham Hotspur continue to be linked with a move for the Fiorentina defender Michael Kayode.
The 19-year-old could be on the move this summer and a report from Firenze Viola claims that the north London club are ‘serious’ about signing the talented young defender. The report further adds that they have already offered around £34 million for the player, but Fiorentina have resisted the urge to sell him for now.
However, things could become difficult for the Italian club if Tottenham continue to pressurise and come back with an improved offer. Kayode is highly rated in Italian football and he has a bright future. He could develop into a key player for Tottenham in the coming seasons.
The 19-year-old can operate as the right-back as well as a right-sided wing-back. He could prove to be the ideal replacement for Emerson Royal, who has been linked with the move away from the club. AC Milan are keen on signing the Brazilian defender and Tottenham will have to replace him adequately. Signing the 19-year-old could prove to be the ideal long-term investment for them.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to improve on their £34 million offer for Kayode in the coming weeks. The young defender has tremendous potential and he could easily justify the investment in the coming seasons. The defender has a contract with the Italian club until 2028, and therefore they are under no pressure to cash on him this summer. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can tempt them with a lucrative proposal.
Tottenham have improved their squad in recent windows, and they will look to improve further and push for trophies next season.
