Tottenham Hotspur pursue Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini this summer

Summary

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly competing to sign Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini, as reported by The Sun. The club will face competition from Chelsea and Newcastle United for the 22-year-old centre-back, who has been impressive in Serie A, scoring three goals and providing one assist in 30 appearances last season. Scalvini's current contract with Atalanta runs until the summer of 2028, complicating a potential transfer. Spurs hope to strengthen their defense under coach Roberto De Zerbi as they consider adding the talent before the summer transfer window closes.
