# Tottenham Hotspur: Major claim emerges involving Nahitan Nandez

**As per [Calcio Napoli 24](https://www.calcionapoli24.it/calcio_mercato/calciomercato-nandez-tottenham-n496420.html), via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/tottenham-ready-close-deal-signing-window-opens-mock-rivals-process/), a major Tottenham Hotspur transfer claim has emerged involving Cagliari midfielder and summer target Nahitan Nandez.**

### The Lowdown: Paratici eyes Nandez summer swoop…

Over the summer window, Spurs were heavily linked with a move for the Uruguay international amid the unrest surrounding Tanguy Ndombele’s future.

Indeed, [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11675/12383436/nahitan-nandez-tottenham-make-approach-for-cagliari-midfielder) even revealed an approach was made by Fabio Paratici and co to sign the Serie A midfielder with Spurs particularly attracted by his versatility.

As well as sitting in front of the back four, Nandez can operate on the right flank in both a more advanced and defensive role.

Now, with January only three months away, it appears a major update has come from Italy.

### The Latest: Spurs ‘ready to close’ Nandez deal…

As per [Calcio Napoli 24](https://www.calcionapoli24.it/calcio_mercato/calciomercato-nandez-tottenham-n496420.html) (via [SW](https://sportwitness.co.uk/tottenham-ready-close-deal-signing-window-opens-mock-rivals-process/)), Tottenham and Paratici are ‘ready to close’ the signing of Nandez in January and it is believed that the Lilywhites can ‘complete’ a move when the window opens.

This is despite interest from Italian powerhouses Napoli and Inter Milan, who Spurs could ‘mock’ in the process of bringing the 25-year-old to N17.

### The Verdict: Get it done…

Lauded as an [‘unstoppable](https://twitter.com/Minarzouki/status/1389505076813864964)‘ player by Serie A pundit Mina Rzouki, Nandez would come as a brilliant signing for Spurs and one who could bolster Nuno Espirito Santo’s options in a number of key areas.

He also comes with some sell-on value going by his age, but as usual with Spurs, much may depend on Cagliari’s valuation.

[Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/fabrizioromano/status/1427385791450423301?lang=en) reported that the Serie A side value Nandez at around €25/30 million (£21.2m/£25.5m), and going by that sum, he could certainly be worth every penny.
