Former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson has stated that Spurs are planning a move to sign the Torino and Italy star. Samuel Ricci next summer as the Premier League club will struggle to secure a deal in January.
The north London club have had a mixed start to the 2024/25 campaign as results have generally been good but Ange Postecoglou’s men have not been at their best as they currently sit eighth in the Premier League with three wins in their first six games.
The Australian manager added some key weapons to his squad during the last transfer window with the arrival of Dominic Solanke as the biggest of the bunch.
Ahead of the January transfer window, Spurs are reported to be interested in Torino’s Samuele Ricci, but a deal for the Italian star will likely have to wait until the summer as the midfielder is not a concern for Postecoglou at present.
talking with Football Insiderancient Tottenham Goalkeeper Paul Robinson, who remains very much connected to the club, explained that the English side could explore a deal for the midfielder next summer.
“I think it will be difficult to do in the winter,” said the expert. “If you look at how the team has played in recent weeks in more of a 4-3-3 formation, I’m not sure if midfield will be a pressure position.
“But he is a young player, he is only 23 years old and has already played four games for Italy.
“Tottenham are certainly interested in signing him. I think it will be difficult to do in the winter, but that is potentially one they will explore in the summer.”
Who is Tottenham’s target? Samuel Ricci?
Ricci has been at Torino since 2022 after arriving from Empoli and has become a key player for the Torino side. The 23-year-old has started every game for the Italian side this season, providing an assist from a deep midfield role.
The midfielder is a talent catching the eye of Europe’s biggest clubs who has made two appearances for Italy during September’s internationals.
Tottenham are clearly one of the clubs, but given his importance to Turin, it will be difficult for the Premier League club to secure a deal for Ricci before the 2025 summer transfer window.
