Tottenham Hotspur are now interested in another Serie A defender in Raoul Bellanova.

Tottenham have been active in the Italian market for a while now.

Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur spring to mind but so do Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie and the January addition Radu Dragusin.

If there is a talent emerging in Italy, you can be sure that Tottenham have him on their radar.

Well, just weeks after landing Dragusin, Tottenham are now being linked with another Serie A defender…

Tottenham want Raoul Bellanova

Torino Granata now report that Tottenham are one of the clubs interested in signing Torino defender Raoul Bellanova.

It’s stated that Napoli, Aston Villa, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Atletico Madrid are also understood to be keen.

The report claims that those teams have contacted Bellanova’s agent to discuss a potential summer move.

Bellanova, 23, predominantly plays as a right back or right wing back, but has also played on the left at times.

Bellanvoa spent 13 years in the AC Milan ranks before heading to Bordeaux in 2019, but he spent just a months in France.

Loan returns to Italy followed with Atalanta, Pescara and Cagliari, eventually joining the latter permanently in 2022.

Bellanova’s nomadic career continued with a loan move to Inter Milan last season before signing for Torino.

That is where Bellanova has really kicked on this season, bagging five assists in Serie A to make himself one of the best wing backs in the league.

An Italy Under-21 International, Bellanova could be viewed as competition for Pedro Porro as Tottenham’s right back.

Emerson Royal just doesn’t have the attacking ability to play in Ange Postecoglou’s system and Bellanova may be the man.

Beating so many clubs to Bellanova won’t be easy, but that was the case with Dragusin too – and Tottenham may hope to land another similar deal this summer.
