Add as preferred source on Google

Tottenham Hotspur could make a huge £59m double raid on Juventus in January, as Fabio Paratici eyes up both Dejan Kulusevski and Weston McKennie.

That’s according to Calciomercato, who claim that both McKennie and Kulusevski could leave Juve to help Paratici give Antonio Conte some fresh blood at Spurs. Both players have been mentioned in regards to Tottenham before.

Calciomercato says that each player will command a fee of around 35m Euros. That means around a £59m outlay for Spurs and Daniel Levy, if they wish to land the pair. McKennie has long been on the radar of English clubs, while Kulusevski is said to be wanted by Arsenal in January.

Tottenham have enjoyed a fine start to life under Antonio Conte. Yesterday’s win over Crystal Palace means it’s 14 from 18 points in the Premier League. However, January is expected to be busy for the club, with incomings and outgoings set to happen.

McKennie would bolster the middle of the park for Conte. Kulusevski, meanwhile, would offer pace and width in the attacking third, something which is becoming key for Spurs with the Italian in charge.

They say to strike while the iron is hot and if the good form continues under Conte, this is exactly what Fabio Paratici will be doing.

Clearly, Spurs have eyes on a top four spot now. But to ensure they go right to the end, they do need new and improved players in January. Kulusevski and McKennie, on paper anyway, would seem good signings.

Juventus are looking to sell solely because of their huge wage bill. They need to clear the decks and want to sign another Spurs target, Dusan Vlahovic, for themselves. Spurs, meanwhile, seem to be ready to back Conte.
