International clubs are keenly taking note of Tottenham Hotspur’s Japhet Tanganga as the summer transfer window unfolds.
Despite having limited game-time at Tottenham over the past years, the young defender has piqued the interests of various clubs keeping a pulse on his current situation.
As reported by Corriere dello Sport (27/7/23, pg 2), Tanganga had previously been in discussion with AC Milan and AS Roma.
Today, another Serie A team, Atalanta, is reportedly keeping a keen eye on him in their quest to recruit a defender.
Atalanta Sets Sights on Tottenham’s Defender Tanganga
Gary Neville, the esteemed football expert, professed Tanganga as being ‘special’. Yet the rising star’s full potential is yet to be revealed.
At the age of 24, Tanganga’s career has ample room for growth. However, as Tottenham is going through a revamp, the club cannot afford to be patient.
Last season, Tottenham was near the top of the list for most goals conceded in the Premier League, landing them an eighth-place finish and no spot in the European contest.
New club head Ange Postecoglou aims to bring Tottenham to finish among the top six in the upcoming season, placing extra burden on struggling players like Tanganga. Consequently, a summer transfer looks likely.
Recent speculation by FussballTransfers suggests that Tottenham seeks a fee around £12 million for Tanganga.
In order to slim down their roster, Tottenham might sell surplus players. An offer from Atalanta could turn out to be a positive career move for the central defender.
The potential move would allow him to play in one of the top leagues and also offer the added benefit of Atalanta’s participation in next season’s European football.
