Tottenham Hotspur could reportedly strike a deal for Juventus attacker Dejan Kulusevski by including Giovani Lo Celso in a player-plus-cash deal. Spurs fans have reacted on Twitter to the reports, with Arsenal also eyeing Kulusevski.

Kulusevski, 21, is a target for both Tottenham and Arsenal – going into the January window. The Sweden international has struggled for game time at Juventus since the start of the season, following the return of Max Allegri.

Beforehand, he was a regular part of the side after Fabio Paratici lured him to Turin. Now, Paratici reportedly wants to sign him for a second time – while Arsenal are also keen on landing the ex-Atalanta and Parma attacker.

It is believed, as per Gazzetta, that a fee for Kulusevski could reach £33.75million. But Gazzetta – as per Football Italia – have since reported that Paratici is looking to include Lo Celso in order to reduce that price tag – by nearly all of it.

How much should Tottenham pay alongside Lo Celso, for Kulusevski?

Tottenham bought Lo Celso for £27million – but he is hardly worth that figure now. If Tottenham were simply selling the Argentina international, one would suggest a fee in the region of £20million is a fair amount.

North of £30million for Kulusevski is pricey. So, a fee of £10million and Lo Celso might be a deal that suits all parties. Whether Juventus actually want to sign Lo Celso remains to be seen.

But Juventus are looking to get rid of Adrien Rabiot, Aaron Ramsey, possibly even Weston McKennie. So, a midfielder might be needed. Tottenham fans have responded to the reports on Twitter.
