Tottenham told to sign Alessandro Bastoni after ‘research’ – expert
Tottenham should make Alessandro Bastoni a key transfer target ahead of the summer window.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
Bastoni, 22, is a left-footed centre-back who is already a key player for Inter Milan, making 36 appearances in all competitions this season.
He also knows Antonio Conte very well, making 74 appearances under him while he was in charge of Inter.
Wenham insists Bastoni ticks a lot of boxes for Spurs and urged the club to make a move this summer.
“We have been linked with a lot of players from Serie A since Paratici came in,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“I have been looking at who we could sign to potentially fill this left-sided centre-back gap we have.
“I did a bit of research and looked at Inter’s squad and there is a guy there called Allesandro Bastoni.
“He’s 22, well over six feet tall, he’s a full Italy international, this is the guy we should be looking at.
“He ticks a lot of boxes for Tottenham and he has a good chance of increasing his value at just 22-years-old.
“He has two years remaining on his current deal, I think this is the guy we should be looking at.”
Bastoni started his career at Atalanta and moved to Inter in the summer of 2017 for a reported fee of £25.7million.
He has made a total of 110 appearances for the club since becoming a key member of the squad.
