Nicola Fagioli wants to sign for Tottenham after what Postecoglou was told

Juventus midfielder Nicola Fagioli has named Tottenham as his preferred destination in the January transfer window, IlBianconero reports.

According to the Italian news outlet’s website [24 December], Fagioli will only entertain a departure from Turin for a “prestigious” club, and values Spurs at the top of the interested parties.

As reported by Italian journalist Mirko Di Natale [3 December], the 23-year-old is a player of interest at Spurs and Ange Postecoglou has been duly informed he would benefit by adding the midfielder to his ranks.

Tottenham given a clear path to sign Nicola Fagioli

The Lilywhites have been given a clear path to bring Fagioli to North London, but that was to be expected, considering only Fulham, Crystal Palace and West Ham United stood in their way.

Tottenham have enjoyed great success acquiring talent from the Serie A giants – Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur made immediate impacts after signing from Juventus.

Furthermore – it is clear Postecoglou needs reinforcements – the 6-3 loss against Liverpool on Sunday [22 December] after beating Manchester United 4-3 in the Carabao Cup on Thursday [19 December] is a prime example of the Australian’s fortunes this year.

Spurs have struggled for consistency, but so has Fagioli, who has struggled to nail down a first team berth in Turin despite his evident quality.

However, with a defensive injury crisis emerging at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Postecoglou may direct his attention to acquiring much-needed depth across the backline while continuing to monitor Fagioli’s developments from afar.

Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr are more than capable options for the time being, and with the Italian spending much of his time on the bench, there will be question marks regarding whether he can make an immediate impact in the Premier League.
