Tottenham could seal the transfer of Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni if the club manage to tie down Antonio Conte to a new contract.
That’s according to journalist Darren Lewis, as he discussed how Spurs could realistically raid Inter for this world class talent.
“If he commits other players commit, Kane commits, Bastoni will leave Inter Milan and I know he likes Bastoni – a huge imposing central defender who adds the leadership he needs in central defence,” Lewis said.
“He also needs a creative midfielder as well. These players come if they know you’re going to stay.
“Spurs have to persuade him to stay by giving him the finance and I think they will. I think he’ll stay.”
Bastoni shone under Conte at Inter and seems ideal to help the north London club right now after a bit of slip-up in recent games.
Bastoni would be great addition to Tottenhams central defence, I think Dier lacks the full blooded commitment of a top rated CD and this is noticable on a weekly basis. Conte is attempting to evolve the squad as a whole and we need players with hunger energy and drive to ring in the change
