Tottenham Hotspur are one of two Premier League clubs exploring a move for Nico Gonzalez, who is currently on loan at Juventus, but the English duo will have to overcome a couple of roadblocks to sign the player.
While Tottenham’s focus for the moment will solely be on winning the Europa League, one would expect the club’s recruitment department to have started planning for the upcoming transfer window, even though we do not know which manager will be in charge of Spurs this summer.
One would expect the Lilywhites to strengthen their forward line, given that Timo Werner’s loan spell comes to an end this June, while Richarlison is expected to leave Tottenham.
It has now been claimed that the North London club are exploring a move for an Argentine international, who has impressed on loan at Juventus this season.
Tottenham eyeing Nico Gonzalez but there is one problem
This report comes from TuttoSport, who say that Nico Gonzalez has emerged as a target for the Lilywhites as well as Brighton.
The 27-year-old, who is on loan at Juventus from Fiorentina, struggled for regular game time at Turin earlier this season but has had a resurgence over the last couple of months.
The winger now has eight goal contributions this season across all competitions but it is revealed that both Premier League clubs are expected to find it difficult to land the player.

This is because Gonzalez is thought to be feeling ‘indifferent’ about the interest from the Seagulls and Spurs.
One factor could be key to Gonzalez’s future
The report points out that Juventus have not ruled out the possibility of signing the versatile wide-forward permanently this summer.
However, it is explained that given the Bianconeri’s difficult financial situation, they can only sign Gonzalez if they qualify for the Champions League.
The report adds that the Argentine international feels at home in Turin and is determined to make a mark at the Allianz Stadium, thus further complicating Tottenham’s pursuit.
