According to Alasdair Gold of Football.London, Tottenham are ‘likely’ to ‘follow up’ their interest in Paulo Dybala. Despite missing out on the 25-year-old’s signature on deadline day, Spurs could return for Dybala in January if he doesn’t agree a deal elsewhere in the coming week.
The Argentine international has an uncertain future in Turin and was an unused substitute in Juventus’ Serie A opener with Parma on August 24. Paris Saint-Germain are trying to capitalise on the situation, but his image rights are slowing down a potential transfer.
After Fernando Llorente was released, Mauricio Pochettino was left with only Harry Kane as a natural centre-forward option. Tottenham have wide forwards in Heung-min Son, Lucas Moura and Erik Lamela who can operate in a makeshift central role, but the Lilywhites could make signing a striker a priority in January.
Dybala has scored (78) and created (30) 108 goals in 182 games for Juventus but could be on his way out of the club. The 25-year-old would certainly improve the Tottenham attack, but PSG’s interest could be a stumbling block in negotiations – the Parisiens are on the hunt for Neymar’s replacement as he nears a return to Barcelona.
