adminTottenham Hotspur made a double splash in the transfer market last week, securing the signings of Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United and Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United. Now, with those midfield reinforcements locked in, the Lilywhites are turning their attention to bolstering their attacking options.
According to Sport Witness, Spurs have set their sights on Como playmaker Martin Baturina. The 23-year-old Croatia international caught the eye with a standout season in Serie A, followed by a solid showing at the World Cup, and he could be the creative spark Tottenham are craving.
The attacking midfielder is reportedly valued at around £70 million this summer. Given Spurs’ heavy spending in recent weeks, it wouldn’t be a shock to see them dig back into their pockets for another marquee signing.
Why Baturina makes sense for Spurs
After bringing in two box-to-box midfielders, Tottenham’s pursuit of a natural number 10 comes as little surprise. The creative role was a problem area for much of last season.
James Maddison missed a significant chunk of the campaign through injury, while Dejan Kulusevski also had his spells on the sidelines. That left Xavi Simons as the only consistent option in the advanced role—and even he battled fitness issues during his debut season.
Baturina, however, has proven himself as a genuine creative force at Como. His vision, close control, and technical ability make him a constant threat in the final third, while his powerful long-range shooting adds another dimension to his game.
Versatility is another string to his bow. The Croatian can operate as a centre-forward, drift out to the left wing, or drop deeper into central midfield if needed.
With that kind of flexibility, Baturina looks like a smart investment—and it will be fascinating to see whether Tottenham make their move in the coming weeks.
