Tottenham Target ‘Messi-Esque’ Talent Matias Soule For £21m Move

Tottenham Hotspur’s radar seems fixed on Juventus talent Matias Soule, with reports hinting at a potential £21 million transfer.

The 20-year-old left-footer has garnered attention from Spurs since the summer, with recent rumors suggesting an active pursuit by the London club.

Italian journalist Fabio Santini disclosed Juventus’ plans for outgoing transfers in 2024, highlighting Soule as one of the potential departures. Crystal Palace also emerges as a contender for the Argentine prodigy’s signature in the upcoming transfer window.

“Juventus is eyeing the sale of Soule for €20-25 million (£17-21 million) to Crystal Palace or Tottenham,” Santini revealed while discussing Juventus’ midfield restructuring plans, which include chasing other profiles like Koopmeiners and Berardi.

Tottenham’s need for reinforcement in attack, especially on the left flank due to injuries to Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic, positions Soule as an appealing prospect. His loan spell at Frosinone in Serie A this season has elevated his status, earning accolades as one of the league’s standout performers.

The young talent boasts an impressive record, notching six goals and one assist in just 13 Serie A appearances. Described as a ‘Messi-esque’ player by some, Soule’s flair and skill have drawn comparisons to the Barcelona maestro, suggesting a promising future ahead.

Tottenham has a track record of successful acquisitions from Juventus, raising anticipation about Soule potentially joining their ranks and making an impact at N17.

As January approaches, all eyes are on whether Spurs will secure this rising star to reinforce their attacking lineup.
