Report: Tottenham are ‘still negotiating a deal’ for £15m versatile player – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Tottenham Hotspur are still negotiating a deal for Bologna defender Takehiro Tomiyasu, according to reports from The Telegraph.
Spurs are actively trying to wrap up a few deals they’re currently working on. The north London have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Atalanta goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini, while his club team-mate Cristian Romero could also follow him.
Romero has emerged as the first-choice target for Spurs who are currently negotiating a deal to sign the Argentine defender. However, it seems, Fabio Paratici has not forgotten about Tomiyasu, and that Spurs are still working on a deal to sign him.
He is currently at the Olympics with Japan. The 22-year-old is a versatile defender who can play centre-back and right-back.
It has been reported that personal terms will not be an issue should the clubs agree to a fee. The Athletic claimed earlier this month that the two clubs are finalising the terms of the deal, with the fee expected to be in the region of £15 million-plus add-ons.
Earlier this week, Bologna director Riccardo Bigon has confirmed that Spurs have made an offer, but other clubs are interested.
Bigon has suggested that the player is excited at the prospect of playing in the Premier League, but it’s highly likely that his future will be sorted after the Olympics.
Tottenham are also working on a deal to sign Bryan Gil from Sevilla in a deal that will see Erik Lamela moving the other way.
