Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dejan Kulusevski is considered a dream signing for Napoli and manager Antonio Conte.
That’s according to Area Napoli. They report that Conte and director of football Giovanni Manna are working on a possible deal for the Tottenham star.
They explain that Napoli are going through something of an emergency in midfield and, as a result, want to find a solution in the January transfer window. Several names are already on their shortlist. One of those names is particularly appealing to Conte.
That’s Kulusevski at Tottenham. He’s the ‘favourite’ as far as the Italian coach is concerned. He is also considered an ‘impossible dream’ at this point. There is a belief Tottenham would be reluctant to sell in January.
That stance could change if Napoli, or anybody else, were to make a ‘substantial offer’. Whether they’d be willing to do so isn’t mentioned. But the Tottenham man is at the top of their list, nonetheless.
Napoli have tried to sign him in the past without success, never quite making the final move to make it happen. Whether they’re now willing to do so to satisfy Conte, remains to be seen.
