A fresh report in the last 48 hours has now hinted Juventus legend Leonardo Bonucci could join Tottenham Hotspur.

The Lowdown: Paratici keeping busy...

Sporting director Fabio Paratici oversaw one of the busier summers at Spurs in recent memory with the Italian completing a plethora of serious moves.

The Lilywhites completed agreements for Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison, Clement Lenglet, Djed Spence, Destiny Udogie and a permanent deal for Cristian Romero - yet they could add even more to their ranks.

The likes of Josko Gvardiol and James Maddison have been linked with moves to north London in recent weeks and now it appears possible an Italian footballing legend could make the transfer to N17.

The Latest: Bonucci could join Spurs...

A report from Italy has hinted that Bonucci to Spurs is a possibility given his connections to manager Antonio Conte.

SportMediaSet claim both the 53-year-old and his former centre-back 'could find themselves under the same colours' - whether that be at Juve or Tottenham.

This comes as Spurs allegedly hold an interest in Bonucci, as 'rumours' from England find their way across the continent.

The Verdict: Make the move?

Given Spurs' links to a star centre-half, it's hardly surprising a link to Bonucci has now surfaced, taking into account the Conte factor.

Bonucci's deal at Juve expires in 2024, potentially motivating Juve to consider a sale either in January or next summer to command a reasonable price tag.

The £198,000-per-week colossus played a starring role in Italy's Euro 2020 win, being called a 'monster' by members of the press, and it is clear he could add a level of experience and assurance to Tottenham's back three.

One question remains - will Conte be at the Spurs helm when the time comes for them to make a move?
