It has been revealed that Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Federico Chiesa from Juventus. The Italian winger played at Euro 2024 but struggled to rediscover the excellent form that he hit at the same tournament three years prior.
Tottenham Hotspur in Talks for Federico Chiesa
Concrete Interest but No Concrete Negotiations as of Yet
Florian Plettenberg has revealed that Tottenham have a “concrete interest” in Chiesa. “First talks” with the player’s agent, Fali Ramadani, have begun, though there have been “no concrete negotiations at this stage”.

This comes after Fabrizio Romano revealed that both the club and new manager Thiago Motta have approved his exit this summer. The Bianconeri want to sell the player to help make a profit and meet financial regulations. With Chiesa’s contract expiring in a year, Juventus want around £20 million. Other European outfits like Bayern Munich had previously had him on their shortlists.
How Can Federico Chiesa Bolster Tottenham’s Squad?
Spurs have already signed another left-winger in Min-hyuk Yang this summer, though the 18-year-old will spend the next six months in South Korea. For the next few years, a high-quality player in that position could be a big improvement to Ange Postecoglou’s side.

Though Son Heung-min had previously played on the left, he has moved to a striker role following Harry Kane‘s departure. Timo Werner and Richarlison have both underwhelmed, and Brennan Johnson is not of the highest level to take Tottenham to Champions League football.
The “explosive” winger would certainly bolster the starting lineup by joining on the left. His pace would allow James Maddison to often find him in space, whilst Dejan Kulusevski would provide a more creative threat on the right-hand side. A versatile forward, the 26-year-old could move up front, should Postecoglou wish to move Son back to his natural position.
