Destiny Udogie has made a promising start to life at Tottenham while the North London club also have reliable cover for the left-back role in the form of Ben Davies, but that has not stopped the Lilywhites from being linked with a move for Cambiaso.

The 23-year-old, who hit the limelight during his loan spell at Bologna last season, has made an impressive start to the season at Juventus.

A couple of days ago, CalcioMercato claimed that Spurs have ‘set their eyes’ on the young full-back, adding that the defender himself has not ruled out the possibility of leaving Turin in January.

Were Spurs one of the clubs to ask about Cambiaso?

Bia has now stated that multiple English clubs tried to sign Cambiaso in the summer but none were willing to meet Juve’s valuation, which stands at €25m-€30m (£21.7m-£26m).

The left-back’s agent told Tutto Juve: “His (Cambiaso) wish came true. That is, to play with Juventus and to have scored a decisive goal.”

“What satisfied him most was not so much the personal glory, but rather the awareness of having brought home the three points. He was absolutely delighted.

“He dreams of winning the Scudetto. Three or four Premier League teams were very interested (in the summer). We weren’t surprised by the fact that Juve considered him un-sellable. They would have sold only against an offer of 25 or 30 million euros.

“He has a long contract, and will still have to work to prove himself. He just thinks about playing and doing well with this shirt, then things (such as a new deal) will come by themselves.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Given how well Cambiaso is now playing, it will likely take a bid of over £35m to price the youngster away from the Allianz Stadium. I do not see Tottenham paying that amount, given that we are well-stocked with options in both full-back areas.

Under Ange Postecoglou, the full-back position has become one of the most important roles in the whole team, with the Australian asking his wide defenders to adapt and invert where necessary.

It’s an approach which has been largely successful with his two first-choice full-backs, Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie.

Beyond them, Emerson Royal has adapted to the role fairly well, too. However, Ben Davies started the recent win over Crystal Palace in place of Udogie, and looked far from comfortable.

With Ryan Sessegnon on his way back from injury, it remains to be seen whether he can provide more sustainable competition for Udogie on the left-hand side, or whether Postecoglou will dip into the transfer market.

Spurs may look at Cambiaso again

If Spurs do look to sign another player for that role, there’s a chance Juventus’ Andrea Cambiaso could be their man. Over the summer, the North London club were linked with the young Italian  (Sky Sport Italia 13/07/23 – via Mondo Napoli).

Now, the rumours are circulating once more, and come courtesy of CalcioMercato. Apparently, Spurs have “set their eyes” on the 23-year-old.

There is “talk of interest” from the Lilywhites, but it remains to be seen whether the Old Lady would let the player go. Nevertheless, it is believed the idea of moving on is “not excluded” by Cambiaso himself, who is keen to play regular football.

Spurs Web Opinion

I would like to be proven wrong, but I can’t see Sessegnon working out under Postecoglou. I think he will fill in until the end of the season whenever needed, but we will look to sign stronger competition for Udogie in the summer. Whether Cambiaso is the right man for the job, however, I’m not convinced.

Juventus signed Cambiaso from fellow Serie A side Genoa last summer, with the Old Lady deciding to loan him out to Bologna for the 2022-23 season.

Last month, we relayed a report from Sky Sport Italia (13/07/23 – via Mondo Napoli), which claimed that the North London club had enquired about the availability of the 23-year-old.

Tuttosport also subsequently claimed that both Tottenham and Forest were keen on the Italy Under-21 international, who was valued by the Old Lady at €20m’ (£17.1m).

Allegri wants to keep Cambiaso at Juventus

CalcioMercato have now also named Liverpool along with Spurs and Forest as Cambiaso’s admirers but they explain that Juve do not have any intention to part ways with him.

This is because the Italian has now become Allegri’s first-choice at left-back role ahead of Filip Kostic.

In fact, it is said that the Bianconeri boss’ decision to start the player against Udinese and Bologna was intended as a message to the aforementioned three Premier League sides.

Spurs Web Opinion

Every Juventus player, including Cambiaso, has a price, given the financial situation that the Serie A giants find themselves in at the moment.

However, it is quite clear that Postecoglou is happy with his options in both full-back positions, which is why Tottenham seemingly abandoned their pursuit of the 23-year-old.

Earlier this month, we relayed a report from Sky Sport Italia (13/07/23 – via Mondo Napoli), which claimed that Spurs had enquired about the availability of the 23-year-old.

Tottenham’s interest in the left-back was also backed up by TMW, who reported last week that the Lilywhites were facing competition from Nottingham Forest and AC Milan for the youngster.

Juventus name asking price for Cambiaso

Tuttosport have now reported that ‘many requests have rained down’ for Cambiaso, with many clubs, including Spurs, Forest and Milan said to have reached out to the player’s entourage.

In addition, it is revealed that Bologna have explored the possibility of signing the player on loan once more.

The publication adds that Juve are open to cashing in on Cambiaso but the Serie A giants want ‘at least €20m’ (£17.1m) to part ways with the full-back.

Spurs Web Opinion

Tottenham are well stocked in both full-back areas. Even with Ryan Sessegnon’s injury, Postecoglou has two good options for the left-back role in Ben Davies and Destiny Udogie, which is why I would be surprised if the club entered the market to strengthen the position.

Earlier this month, we relayed a report from  Sky Sport Italia (13/07/23 – via Mondo Napoli), which claimed that Spurs had enquired about the availability of the 23-year-old.

The publication asserted that Juventus are expected to demand €25m (£21.4m) for the versatile defender.

Spurs now face increased competition for Cambiaso

According to TMW’s latest update, Tottenham are now set to battle Nottingham Forest and AC Milan for Cambiaso, with all three clubs alleged to have expressed an interest in the youngster.

The report adds that as things stand, the Bianconeri are not planning to cash in on the full-back but it is explained that the situation could change later in the transfer window.

Spurs Web Opinion

Despite the injury to Ryan Sessgonon and Sergio Reguilon being likely to depart, I do not think Spurs would enter the market for a left-back this summer.

I expect Destiny Udogie to compete with Ben Davies for the inverted left-back role.

The 23-year-old was one of the mainstays in the Bologna backline last season, with the two-footed youngster also demonstrating his versatility by filling in at right-back on a few occasions.

Spurs have shown interest in Andrea Cambiaso

Sky Italia claim that Cambiaso’s performances at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara last season have caught the attention of both AC Milan and Tottenham.

The report mainly focuses on Milan’s pursuit of the defender, stating that the Rossoneri have identified the Juve star as the man to replace Fodé Ballo-Toure, who is expected to leave the San Siro. 

It is alleged that the Serie A side have contacted the player’s representatives but they face competition from Spurs, who have also ‘probed’ Cambiaso’s situation.

The publication adds that Juventus are expected to demand €25m (£21.4m) for the versatile defender.

Spurs Web Opinion

Signing a left-back would not be a priority for Postecoglou despite Ryan Sessegnon’s recent injury.

The Australian will want to take a closer look at Destiny Udogie over the coming weeks and assess if he can compete with Ben Davies for a starting spot next season.

Cambiaso has won several admirers during what is his first season in the Italian top-flight following his move to Genoa last season.

The 22-year-old, who primarily operates as a left-back, has also impressed at right-back as well as central midfield for the Serie A club this season.

Tottenham are expected to be in the market for a new left wing-back this summer, with Antonio Conte allegedly not convinced by Sergio Reguilon (Football Insider).

Alfredo Pedulla reported this week that Cambiaso is one of the options on Tottenham’s radar ahead of the summer transfer window. The journalist added that Spurs could face competition from the likes of Inter Milan, Juventus and Napoli for the 22-year-old.

Cambiaso’s agent Giovanni Bia has insisted that the young defender is destined to reach major heights, backing him to be an important player for the Azzurri over the next decade. 

Bia told Radio Marte (30/2/22) about his client: “Is he ready for the national team? To make it clear, he is a Paolo Maldini.

“He can play on the right or the left as a full-back or in midfield. He is two-footed and has flexibility. I think he should be part of the new (Italy squad). He has vision and quality. Italy needs players like that.  

“We don’t have great fullbacks at the moment. For me, he will be one of the full-backs of the national team for the next ten years.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Agents will obviously talk up the players they are representing but I am not surprised that Cambiaso is attracting so much interest, given his versatility. The 22-year-old could be a very useful squad player owing to his ability to play competently across multiple positions.

It was reported last week that Antonio Conte has not been convinced by Sergio Reguilon and wants to upgrade at left wing-back in the summer (Football Insider).

The Spurs boss is said to have given the green light for the club to cash in on the Spaniard and reinvest the fee into new signings. 

According to Pedulla’s latest update, Cambiaso is one of the options on Tottenham’s radar. 

The 22-year-old has impressed since his move to Genoa last summer, and the fact he is two-footed has meant Alexander Blessin has been able to use him at both right-back and left-back.

Pedulla claims the Italy under-21 international is attracting ‘strong interest’ from Inter Milan while Juventus and Napoli are also tracking his situation.

Despite the interest from Spurs, it is explained that a move to another Serie A club remains the ‘most concrete’ option for Cambiaso this summer.

Spurs Web Opinion

If Conte and Paratici are planning on refreshing their wing-back options this summer by moving on the likes of Doherty, Emerson and Reguilon, Cambiaso could be a decent addition to the Spurs squad. While the 22-year-old might not have the required quality to play every game, Conte might view him as a decent squad option, given his versatility.
