Tottenham Hotspur have been heavily linked with a move to sign Atalanta midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi, and the Ukraine international has made his mind up.

The 29-year-old has been a fine player for La Dea since he joined them in 2019, and it looks like he could get himself a big move to North London now.

Reports revealed this week that Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici are keen to sign Malinovskyi and are even willing to offer Sergio Reguilon in a potential swap deal.

Fabrizio Romano then revealed yesterday that Malinovskyi dreams of a move to Spurs, and fellow journalist Dean Jones has now backed that claim.

He believes that the Ukrainian midfielder would snub every other club that he has been linked with just to join Conte at Spurs.

Jones told GiveMeSport: “There is no doubt.

“He would choose Spurs over anyone else that is currently being linked.”

That is a massive boost for Spurs, who don’t have to worry about the other clubs interested in signing Malinovskyi now.

Ligue 1 side Marseille were said to be keen to sign him and a swap deal that would see Cengiz Under move to Atalanta has been reported. West Ham United have also been linked with a move to sign him this morning, but if Jones is right, that’s no issue for Tottenham now.

The 29-year-old, branded as ‘extraordinary’ by Gian Piero Gasperini, is a really talented player. He can play as a number 10, in central midfield and even as a second striker. He will give Conte a ton of options if this move goes through.

Malinovskyi seems open to a move to Tottenham, but whether Spurs can agree a deal with Atalanta before the window shuts next week remains to be seen.
