# Tottenham Hotspur: Journalist makes exciting live TV claim involving Insigne

**Speaking live on broadcast TV channel 7 Gold, as shared by[Area Napoli,](https://www.areanapoli.it/calciomercato/santini-insigne-tottenham-in-pole-conte-lo-vuole-a-gennaio-la-reazione-di-lorenzo_442926.html) transfer journalist Fabio Santini has made an exciting Tottenham Hotspur claim involving Napoli star Lorenzo Insigne.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs eye Insigne move…

The Italy international is a player who Spurs have been repeatedly linked with since the summer, with a claim from another reporter in Paolo Paganini (via [Area Napoli](https://www.areanapoli.it/interviste/paganini-insigne-l-offerta-migliore-e-del-tottenham-emerson-e-koulibaly-le-ultime_425440.html)) also having emerged that Fabio Paratici made an offer for Insigne.

Tottenham’s transfer chief, it seems, hasn’t exactly ceased his interest since then with [Calciomercato.it](https://www.calciomercato.it/2021/11/30/calciomercato-inter-napoli-insigne-accordo-rinnovo-conte/) recently revealing that Paratici, as well as West Ham and Newcastle, have already ‘probed the ground’ pre-January.

Insigne’s contract at Napoli expires in 2022 as it stands meaning Spurs could snap up Euro 2020’s star performer for free at the end of the season.

In a development, Santini has now made a rather exciting claim.

### The Latest: Santini makes exciting Insigne claim…

According to the Italian transfer expert, speaking live on 7 Gold (via[AN](https://www.areanapoli.it/calciomercato/santini-insigne-tottenham-in-pole-conte-lo-vuole-a-gennaio-la-reazione-di-lorenzo_442926.html)), Tottenham are now favourites to sign the 30-year-old.

*“Antonio Conte is crazy about Lorenzo Insigne and would like the footballer as early as January,”* Santini explained.

*“In the winter sales and sales campaign. Lorenzo Insigne, of course, is flattered by the interest of both Conte and Tottenham , but he is undecided. He would not want to break up with Napoli during the current season.*

*“There have been meetings with Inter and Juventus, but Tottenham is the club closest to the player.”*

### The Verdict: No brainer?

One of the stars of the summer at Euro 2020, Tottenham could completely bypass his [£43.2 million market valuation](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/lorenzo-insigne/profil/spieler/133964) and snap up for no transfer fee at all – making this move somewhat of a no brainer.

Insigne, judging by his incredibly threatening numbers so far this season, would certainly offer Conte a real outlet out wide.

According to [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/83390/Show/Lorenzo-Insigne), Insigne has averaged a very impressive 3.5 shots per match so far this season – eclipsing the rates of [every Spurs star in that regard.](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham)

He’s also made 2.1 key passes in the final third every match in that time, again, with no Tottenham man able to match those numbers domestically this season ([WhoScored)](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham).

Standing out as a real threat when compared to Conte’s current crop, this has got to be a sure-fire swoop on a free deal.
