Tottenham insider thinks Serie A talent will “certainly” be heading to Spurs next summer
Tottenham are interested in signing Torino midfielder Samuele Ricci. Former Spurs goalkeeper Paul Robinson thinks a deal is more likely next summer than in January. Tottenham have had a mixed start to the season under Ange Postecoglou. They currently sit eighth in the Premier League. Spurs made some key signings in the summer including Dominic Solanke.
Midfield is not a priority for Postecoglou in January. Robinson believes it would be difficult to sign Ricci in the winter transfer window. Ricci is only 23 years old and has four caps for Italy. Tottenham are definitely interested in the player according to Robinson. He thinks Spurs will explore a deal for Ricci next summer. Ricci has been at Torino since 2022 after joining from Empoli. He has become an important player for Torino.
Ricci has started every game for Torino this season. He has provided one assist from his deep midfield role. The 23-year-old is attracting interest from big clubs across Europe. He made two appearances for Italy in September. Tottenham are one of the clubs monitoring Ricci. It will be hard for Spurs to sign him before next summer due to his importance to Torino.
Ricci’s performances have caught the eye of Tottenham scouts. Postecoglou is looking to strengthen his midfield options for the future. Tottenham see Ricci as a potential long-term addition to their squad. The club will continue to track his progress this season. A summer move seems more realistic than a January transfer. Tottenham will likely face competition from other clubs for Ricci’s signature.
The player’s form for Torino and Italy has increased interest in him. Spurs are positioning themselves to make a move when the time is right. Ricci could add depth and quality to Tottenham’s midfield. His age fits with Postecoglou’s policy of signing young talent. Tottenham will need to negotiate with Torino who want to keep their key player. The London club are playing the long game with their interest in Ricci. They hope to convince him to join their project under Postecoglou. Ricci’s development this season will be closely monitored by Spurs. A strong campaign could increase his price tag next summer. Tottenham are planning ahead with their transfer targets like Ricci.
