Tottenham plotting move for Napoli centre-back Alessandro Buongiorno
According to Calciomercato, Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on Napoli centre-back Alessandro Buongiorno, whose future at the Diego Maradona Stadium is in doubt.
The 26-year-old, who arrived in a big-money deal from Torino in 2024, has fallen down Antonio Conte’s pecking order over recent months.

However, the outlet concludes that the ‘ball is in Antonio Conte’s court’, with the Italian set to decide whether he is ready to sacrifice the former Torino man mid-season.
