Atalanta defender Timothy Castagne is interested in joining Tottenham this summer, according to the Athletic.
Castagne, who is primarily a right-back but has also played on the left for Atalanta, made 27 league appearances in the Italian top-flight this season, scoring one goal and providing three assists (via Transfermarkt).
On Friday we relayed a Telegraph report claiming Spurs are willing to sell either Serge Aurier or Juan Foyth to fund a move for Lille right-back Zeki Celik.
But the Athletic believe a deal for Castagne is more likely. Their report suggests the 24-year-old Belgian is available at a reduced price and that he is keen on moving to Tottenham in the coming weeks.
Norwich City starlet Max Aarons is also mentioned as a potential option as Jose Mourinho continues his search for a new right-back, though the Spurs boss is said to have reservations because of Aarons’ height.
Castagne’s versatility may also be a reason he is of interest to Tottenham, who also arguably need to strengthen at left-back – Ben Davies has offered very little going forward of late.
We all know Spurs chairman Daniel Levy loves a cut price deal. So would you take Castagne? Let us know in the comments section below.
The main problem is that he will cost money and we all know that Daniel Levy will not spend it.
