As per Italian newspaper Corriere Torino, via Sport Witness, a Tottenham Hotspur transfer update has come to light involving Juventus winger Dejan Kulusevski.
The Lowdown: Tottenham in frame...

Both men are apparently admirers of Kulusevski with a report from TUTTOmercatoWEB explaining that they share the same 'esteem' and believe he is a gem with huge potential.
Other sources, like reporter Daniele Longo, even say there have already been contacts for the player ahead of January
The Latest: Spurs eye January bid...
As per CT, via Sport Witness, Tottenham and Arsenal are in contention for his signing with Kulusevski himself thought to be open to moving in search of more game time.
Is it is believed that Spurs and their bitter rivals ‘have indicated their intention to sink the blow in January in case the right conditions arise’ - presumably meaning they're weighing a bid.
Paratici is personally the youngster's 'number one fan’ according to this report with Spurs' transfer chief well and truly eyeing a move.
The Verdict: Get it done?
Lauded as an 'explosive' attacker by former Sweden striker Marcus Allback, the pundit also claims that Kulusevski is hard-working and tracks back to defend (The Sun) - surely an endearing quality for Spurs supporters and for Conte.
The only caveat may be his alleged €35 million (£29.6m) asking price with Juventus apparently refusing to budge on that price tag.
Amid Tottenham's financial troubles as they also aim to sign a centre-half and in-demand striker Dusan Vlahovic, Kulusevski perhaps should be put on Paratici's back burner.
