As per TUTTOmercatoWEB, it appears that Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has his eyes on yet another Serie A name in Juventus winger Dejan Kulusevski.

The Lowdown: Conte plots Italian raid...

There are reportedly a host of stars from Italy's top division currently being eyed by Conte as Spurs become linked with many big players from the continent.

Indeed, according to Calciomercato, the likes of Federico Chiesa, Matthijs de Ligt, Stefan de Vrij, Marcelo Brozovic, Alessio Romagnoli and Dusan Vlahovic are all on his radar. Meanwhile, the likes of Franck Kessie have also been heavily linked, with a report by La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Get Italian Football News) recently claiming that talks were at a very advanced stage.

Another name has emerged in recent days as Spurs eye one of Serie A's brightest young talents.

The Latest: Conte in awe...

As per TUTTOmercatoWEB, Tottenham could now sign the 21-year-old and are considered a 'credible candidate' for his signature alongside north London rivals Arsenal.

Additionally, both Conte and Spurs managing director Fabio Paratici 'share the esteem' for Kulusevski and consider the player to be a 'gem' with huge potential.

Funnily enough, the former Inter boss had wanted him at the San Siro, only to miss out to Paratici's Juve at the time.

The Verdict: Big talent...

It appears that Spurs are still weighing future seasons as links also emerge to some of Europe's brightest emerging prospects, as evident by their interest in Club Brugge starlet Charles De Ketelaere (Calciomercato).

Going by Kulusevski's credentials, he certainly comes as a hugely exciting prospect, with the Champions League attacker even lavished by the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, who called him a "great talent".

Another Portuguese footballing icon in Bruno Alves was also left amazed by the 19-cap Sweden international, hailing Kulusevski and his 'incredible' intensity as a player (via Forza Italian Football).

Valued at around €35m (£29.8m) in the summer (TUTTOmercatoWEB), his value will only increase if he keeps turning this many heads.
