adminTottenham Hotspur are keen to strengthen their backline this summer, with highly rated Italian defender Giorgio Scalvini emerging as a top target.
The 22-year-old has impressed consistently at Atalanta, earning a reputation as one of Europe’s most promising young centre-backs. Reports suggest Spurs are actively pursuing a deal, with manager Roberto De Zerbi personally identifying Scalvini as a key addition.
However, Tottenham are not alone in the race. Newcastle United are also long-time admirers, setting up a potential transfer battle for the defender, who has been dubbed a “Rolls-Royce” at the back.
A move to the Premier League could be an appealing next step for Scalvini, offering a fresh challenge at a crucial stage in his development.
Regular football in England may help him unlock his full potential, especially within a competitive Spurs setup under a respected coach.
That said, Atalanta are unlikely to let their prized asset leave cheaply and are expected to demand a significant fee. It remains unclear whether Tottenham will meet that valuation.
Defensive reinforcements are a priority for Spurs after a shaky season at the back. Uncertainty also surrounds key figures like Cristian Romero, who has been linked with a possible exit, meaning the club could soon be forced into a major reshuffle.
Scalvini is viewed as a long-term solution and could eventually form a strong partnership with Luka Vuskovic, who is expected to return from his loan spell at Hamburger SV this summer.
