Lazio ‘build wall’ around star forward to keep Tottenham advances away
A second source has now confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur are ready to spend big on a young Serie A winger, but the Lilywhites will not find it easy to get the deal over the line.
It first emerged a little over a week ago that Tottenham were ready to put €40m (£33.5m) on the table for Lazio’s Gustav Isaksen, having been very impressed with his displays over recent months.
The versatile forward has ten goal contributions to his name this season and the interest in his services is thought to be growing ahead of the summer window.
Just a couple of days ago, it was reported that Inter Milan are ready to challenge Tottenham for Isaksen, with their manager Simone Inzaghi thought to be desperate to take the Denmark international to the San Siro.
Lazio’s stance on Gustav Isaksen amid impending Tottenham bid
Gazzetta dello Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness) have now also confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur are ready to put €40m (£33.5m) on the table for the 23-year-old.
The Lilywhites have reportedly made advances towards landing Isaksen over recent weeks as they view the Dane as the kind of option that can bolster Ange Postecoglou’s forward line, which has misfired at times this season.
The outlet states that Lazio are looking to ‘build a wall’ around the winger and their other prized assets this summer. However, it is explained that the Italian club might be forced to sell if Spurs step forward with a sufficiently large enough offer.
Tottenham are extremely keen on signing Tyler Dibling
Isaksen is not the only winger that Spurs reportedly have their eye on, with speculation intensifying over a potential move by the North London club for a Premier League winger.
It has been widely reported over recent weeks that Tottenham are determined to win the race for Tyler Dibling this summer.
In fact, it has been claimed that Spurs have already begun working on the deal to sign Dibling in order to steal a march on the 19-year-old’s other suitors across the Premier League.
