Tutto Atalanta have revealed that Japhet Tanganga is seen as a very good fit for the profile of centre-back that Atalanta are looking for.
Multiple publications have reported over the last couple of weeks that Tanganga is expected to be offloaded by Tottenham this summer, with the club looking to make wholesale changes in central defence (Football.London).

Journalist Ben Jacobs told Chris Cowlin’s YouTube channel on Thursday that the centre-back is attracting interest from Atalanta as well as newly-promoted Premier League side Luton Town.

Tutto Atalanta have now also backed up the Serie A side’s interest in Tanganga, stating that the ‘multifaceted’ Tottenham academy graduate appeals to the club since he is capable of playing in central defence as well as right-back.
The publication adds that the Bergamo club value the 24-year-old’s ‘tactical flexibility’ and believe that he could be a ‘valuable chess piece’ in the backline.
The report explains that Tanganga’s power, technique and defensive skills make him an ‘attractive profile’ for Atalanta, who are now monitoring him ‘very carefully’
