# Tottenham Hotspur: Lilywhites agree fee with Juventus for Paulo Dybala

**Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a fee with Serie A champions Juventus for attacker Paulo Dybala, [according to Gianluca Di Marzio.](https://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/juventus-offerta-del-tottenham-per-dybala)**

It is now thought to be down to [Dybala](https://gianlucadimarzio.com/ien/juventus-offerta-del-tottenham-per-dybala) to agree to terms with Tottenham over a move to last season’s Champions League finalists.

The Argentine saw a move to [Manchester United](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/08/04/exclusive-man-utd-pull-plug-paulo-dybala-deal-amid-reservations/) collapse last week after concerns from the Premier League club over a number of issues.

The Argentina international was forming part of a swap deal that would have seen [Romelu Lukaku](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/08/04/exclusive-man-utd-pull-plug-paulo-dybala-deal-amid-reservations/) go the opposite way.

Tottenham have been linked with a move for numerous attacking players this summer. They have been linked with a move for Real Betis star Giovani Lo Celso, however, are thus far refusing to meet the Spanish club’s asking price of [€75m (roughly £69m).](https://sportwitness.co.uk/lo-celso-standstill-negotiations-player-agreement-spurs-betis-trust-better-bid-will-arrive/) A move for Sporting CP star [Bruno Fernandes](https://www.90min.com/posts/6423852-tottenham-official-in-portugal-for-bruno-fernandes-talks-after-unofficial-45m-bid-rejected) has been touted, with the North London club said to have sent officials to Lisbon to strike a deal.

Dybala could be the attacking spark that Tottenham crave, especially with [Christian Eriksen](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11779213/manchester-united-end-interest-in-christian-eriksen-with-real-madrid-looming) angling for a move to Spain. The 25-year-old was one of the chief creators for the Turin-based club last season, completing on average [1.7 key passes per game](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/87/Show/Italy-Juventus), the joint-second most in the squad. He also showed his threat in front of goal averaging[2.2 shots per game](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/87/Show/Italy-Juventus), which saw him score [10 goals in just 30 starts.](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/114863/History/Paulo-Dybala)

Dybala would be a quality signing for Tottenham this summer; he would provide a good attacking threat. Also, he is younger than Eriksen so has scope to improve and surpass him.

Outside of Harry Kane, Heung-min Son and Lucas Moura, only Christian Eriksen was a major attacking threat. The Dane provided [26 goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/69344/History/Christian-Eriksen) in the Champions League and Premier League, and with him wanting to leave the club, he needs to be replaced properly.

Dybala showed with his[108 goal contributions in just 182 games for Juventus](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/paulo-dybala/leistungsdaten/spieler/206050) that he has the talent to take over from Eriksen.

With Eriksen looking to move on he needs to be replaced adequately and Dybala is a player who could perform to the same level as the Denmark international.
