Juventus have set their sights on Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma, with the Italian giants evaluating a potential summer move as Spurs prepare for a reshuffle.
Tottenham Hotspur are back in the big time after securing a return to the UEFA Champions League, following their Europa League triumph last season.
A squad refresh will be very much needed this summer window, with new signings expected at Spurs and several players also likely to head for the exit door.
Yves Bissouma, who earns £55,000 a week and has just twelve months remaining on his current contract, is one of the players who has been linked with a departure from N17.
Juventus eye Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma
The Malian featured 44 times last season, but his performances across much of the campaign left plenty to be desired, as inconsistency plagued his outings.
Fresh reports from Gazzetta now claim that Yves Bissouma is attracting interest from Italian side Juventus, who are monitoring the situation closely.
It is understood that the Bianconeri are evaluating whether to launch a move for the Mali international this summer, with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy placing a £15–£20 million valuation on the midfielder – a fee seen as an economic positive for the Old Lady.

The publication also reports that Yves Bissouma is drawing interest from clubs in the Premier League, although they do not name any of the sides involved.
It is believed that Daniel Levy would prefer to do business with Juventus rather than with a domestic rival, should an offer materialise in the coming weeks.
New Juventus sporting director Damien Comolli is said to have a strong relationship with Levy, having worked at Spurs in the past – a detail which could benefit the Serie A club during negotiations.
