Juventus enter race to sign Tottenham star

 

Juventus have entered the race to sign Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele, reports Gianluca Di Marzio.

 

Dembele has entered the final 12 months of his current Tottenham deal and has already indicated he could leave this summer.

 

Inter have already been heavily linked with a move for the Belgium international, but now their Serie A rivals have entered the race.

 

Juventus are currently in the process of wrapping up a deal for Liverpool midfielder Emre Can and are also interested in Dembele.

 

However, the biggest obstacle Serie A sides will face is haggling Tottenham down from their reported £30m valuation of the 30-year-old.

 

Despite the fact Dembele is regarded as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, Tottenham are open to offers.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side are not willing to offer Dembele a bumper new deal due to his age and injury concerns.

 

Tottenham’s preference would be to sell Dembele to China, but it remains to be seen whether the midfielder is ready to leave European football behind him.

 

Of players that have attempted at least 75 dribbles in the last three Premier League campaigns, only Jan Vertonghen (87.3%) has a better success rate than Dembele (87.1%).
