Tottenham have been handed a boost in their pursuit of one transfer target, but could face a battle to land him over their rivals in the coming weeks in the market.
It's part of a busy summer for Spurs, as Roberto De Zerbi and the recruitment team have already shifted focus towards rebuilding the squad to avoid a repeat of the consecutive 17th-placed finishes the club have suffered from.
Two deals have already been sealed in the backline, while moves are also being made to sign Savinho and Jan Paul van Hecke in swift fashion.
Other targets are in mind too, with an open race to land a particular forward.
Antonio Vergara Transfer Battle
Tottenham have been linked with a move for Napoli forward Antonio Vergara, as CalcioNapoli24 claims that the club are monitoring a move for the 23-year-old.
Spurs aren't the only team in the mix, as Como are also eyeing a move as they look to add more homegrown talent to their squad ahead of their move into the Champions League next season.
It's claimed that the Serie A side have already made contact for the 23-year-old, as the two teams position themselves for a possible deal in the market.
Napoli are believed to be open for a switch in the region of £26 million, which could prove to be a bargain, if Tottenham are able to agree a switch.
It remains to be seen whether De Zerbi's side will formalise their interest, as Como appear to be pushing ahead with their own move for the forward.
How Good Is Antonio Vergara?
A move for Vergara could add more attacking depth to the Tottenham forward line, but there are question marks over how well he would adjust to the Premier League.
The 23-year-old can play as both an attacking midfielder and as a right-winger, but he has often been used as a squad player since returning to Napoli from a loan spell at Reggiana.
Last season, Vergara made 19 appearances across all competitions, scoring three goals and assisting four times, with just under 1,000 minutes to his name.
The former Italy youth international saw his season interrupted by injuries, which certainly didn't help his case to be a regular starter under Antonio Conte.
At 23, there is room to grow further, but it's unclear whether Tottenham can take such a risk when they have a squad filled with potential but a lack of quality for the here and now.
