Tottenham Hotspur remain keen on signing Davide Frattesi from Inter Milan.
The 25-year-old has struggled for regular gametime at the Italian club and he has been linked with an exit. He was a part of their title-winning squad last season, but he needs a fresh start right now and a move to the Premier League could be ideal for him.
Spurs need more depth in the middle of the park as well, and the Italian International should prove to be a quality long-term investment for them. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the player is valued at €45 million, but Tottenham are confident of negotiating a lower fee for the player.
The report states that a fee of around €35 million could prove to be attractive for the Italian club, even though they are holding out for more. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. If Spurs can provide him with regular football, a move to the London club would be ideal for the player.
The Italian midfielder needs to play regularly at this stage of his career and consistent game time in the Premier League could accelerate his development. He is yet to fulfil his potential and Tottenham could nurture him into a star.
Frattesi was highly rated in Italian football a few years ago, but his development has stalled. A fresh start could bring out the best in him. He has the physicality and technical attributes to adapt to English football and Tottenham might be able to bring out the best in him.
They have the financial resources to get the deal across the line, and they must look to improve their squad before the transfer window closes. They need to secure Champions League qualification for the next season, and they need better players at their disposal.
