Tottenham Hotspur are showing a strong interest in signing young Italian goalkeeper Tommaso Martinelli from Fiorentina.
According to a recent report by the Italian channel Laviola.itthe north London club have identified the 18-year-old as a potential long-term investment.
The report suggests that Martinelli is considering his future at Fiorentina after the club signed experienced Spanish goalkeeper David De Gea on a free transfer.
Tottenham’s strategy of signing emerging talents
Tottenham’s pursuit of Martinelli aligns with their recent transfer strategy, which focuses on signing emerging talent from across Europe.
The club has been actively investing in up-and-coming players who can become first-team stars or be sold at a profit in the future. Notable recent signings include Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Min-hyuk Yang, Ashley Phillips, Alejo Veliz and Wilson Odobert.
Should Tottenham secure Martinelli’s signature, the young goalkeeper could be groomed as a possible long-term replacement for current first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
Martinelli is highly rated in Italy and is considered a promising prospect with the potential to make a significant impact in the coming years.
As the transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen whether Tottenham will be able to finalize a deal for Martinelli.
