Tottenham Hotspur are now set for a nervous wait as to whether one of their reported summer targets is going to be allowed to leave.

Ange Postecoglou has been made to wait for weeks for his next signing with Tottenham having only brought Archie Gray through the door permanently so far.

That could soon change with Tottenham agreeing a deal to sign South Korean winger Yang Min-hyuk from Gangwon FC.

But the 18-year-old will not be available for selection under January 2025 as he is expected to return to his homeland on loan.

Spurs are said to be ready to make what could be their fourth move of the summer – if Yang signs – but the player is now set to meet with his current club to discover his situation.

Postecoglou spoke openly about his desire to see the frontline added to this summer but the Australian still finds himself waiting to see that unfold.

Even the expected signing of Yang will not provide Spurs fans much comfort considering he will not be joining until mid-way through the season.

However, Tottenham are believed to be keen to sign Federico Chiesa this summer from Juventus.

It has been claimed very recently that the Lilywhites are prepared to make a bid up to £29.5m for the Italian winger.

And according to Calciomercato, the 26-year-old now has a meeting scheduled with Juventus to learn the fate of his future.

The Italy international is now running into the final 12 months of his contract in Turin.

But there are serious question marks as to whether their new manager, Thiago Motta, feels Chiesa has a place under him at Juventus.

A meeting will be held to discuss this, however, the report says there will be only one outcome with ‘definitive separation’ on the cards.

Federico Chiesa has chosen to join Tottenham

As per the same report which shared Tottenham’s interest in the player, Chiesa has supposedly chosen Spurs as his next club.

The Italian has options to remain in Serie A, however, it seems he could well be ready to make the next step in his career by testing himself in the Premier League.

“Chiesa will say goodbye to Italy, he won’t go to Roma or Napoli but to the Premier League. He is close to Tottenham for €30-35m (£25-29.5m),” said the presenter of SportMediaSet on Thursday.

It would certainly be a statement addition for Spurs and a relatively cheap one considering the calibre of player they would be getting in return.

During his 131 appearances for Juventus, the 26-year-old has returned 32 goals and 23 assists which have seen him lift numerous trophies.
