Report: Juventus identify Spurs-linked midfielder as 'prime target' – The Spurs Web

Fabrizio Romano says Atalanta star Teun Koopmeiners, who was mooted as a Tottenham target, has now emerged as Juventus' top midfield target ahead of the summer transfer window.

Koopmeiners has become one of the most consistent midfielders in Serie A over the past two years and the Dutchman has played a key role in Atalanta's Europa League success this season.

The Dutchman is now widely tipped to join a bigger club this summer and he himself admitted to De Telegraaf in April that he had informed Atalanta of his desire to seek a new challenge.

Tottenham are one of the clubs believed to be plotting a move for the Netherlands international, with various media outlets suggesting over the past couple of months that the Lilywhites have been knocking on the door over a move for the player (Tuttosport).

Ange Postecoglou's men are expected to face strong competition for the 26-year-old, who is also said to be on the radars of Juventus and Chelsea (Rudy Galetti).

Juventus wants to sign Teun Koopmeiners

Romano has now taken to social media to declare that the Bianconeri's interest in Koopmeiners is concrete.

He claims the Serie A giants have identified the Atalanta star as their main midfield target this summer and are expected to make an approach for him soon.

Romano further quotes Atalanta president Antonio Percassi as saying about Koopmeiners' future: “Of course, several big clubs like Koopmeiners, we will think about his future soon.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Percassi's admission of “several big clubs” expressing an interest in Koopmeiners potentially suggests that Atalanta expects a bidding war to develop for the Dutchman.

However, based on reports over the past couple of months, it would seem that Spurs are more interested in the 26-year-old's midfield partner, Ederson.
