Antonio Vergara has emerged as a key player for Napoli over the past few weeks. Tottenham have now been mentioned as a suitor for the versatile attacker.
In a way, the young Italian was never meant to be in Naples. He had never played in Serie A before this season.
The 22-year-old spent loans at Reggiana and Pro Vercelli and could’ve departed Napoli some months ago. But just when the Partenopei were in an injury crisis, he found form.
In 2026, Vergara started regularly in Serie A. He scored against Chelsea and also found the net against Fiorentina at the weekend.
TuttoSport now report that Tottenham tried to sign him in the January transfer window.
An offer came ‘directly’ from London, with Spurs left captivated by the Italian. They put forward €20m for Vergara but the move didn’t go through.
Tottenham were specifically left impressed by the talent’s goal against Chelsea. The attacker had left Wesley Fofana for dead, scoring a delightful strike.
All of this is a dream come true for him, with Napoli keen to keep him.
The report says ‘bye bye Spurs’ with Tottenham now moving away as a suitor. There is a belief that the best is yet to come, with Vergara’s prominence in the side quickly rising.
