Tottenham ‘are PANICKING’ and now turning to a deal for Juventus bit-part star Dejan Kulusevski after moves for Luis Diaz and Adama Traore were hijacked by Liverpool and Barcelona to Antonio Conte’s fury
- Tottenham are looking to bring in Juventus attacker Dejan Kulusevski on loan
- Spurs have failed to sign top transfer targets Adama Traore and Luiz Dias
- Boss Antonio Conte still eager to revamp his squad to compete at the top end
- The north London club are eager to off-load Tanguy Ndombele and Dele Alli
Tottenham are desperately working on a deal to sign Juventus attacker Dejan Kulusevski after failing to sign transfer targets Adama Traore and Luiz Dias as they begin to hit the panic button with just days left in the transfer window.
The deal is expected to be a loan with an option or obligation to buy, according to The Athletic.
Spurs boss Antonio Conte has made it clear that the north London outfit needs to bring in reinforcements if they are to challenge near the top end of the Premier League after falling behind the front-runners in recent seasons.

Tottenham currently sit seventh in the Premier League, but have endured a frustrating transfer window so far, missing out on a number of targets.
They were in talks with Wolves over the signing of Adama Traore, who is now set to re-join Barcelona, despite reportedly being very close to joining Conte’s side.
Spurs also went after Porto winger Luis Diaz but Liverpool have now beaten their fellow Premier League rival to a move.
It has also been revealed that AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie would rather remain in Serie A than move to Spurs.

All eyes have now turned to Kulusevski, whose current contract at Juve runs until 2025, but they feel they can prize him away from the Italian club.
The 21-year-old has made 20 Serie A appearances for Juventus this season but has only started in half of those, completing the full 90 minutes just three times.
Not only have Tottenham struggled to freshen up the squad with new signings, they’ve also failed to offload fringe players.
Spurs are also still working to send Tanguy Ndombele on loan to Paris Saint-Germain and secure late deals for Dele Alli and Giovani Lo Celso to leave on loan before the transfer window shuts on Monday night.
Time is running out for chairman Daniel Levy and managing director of football Fabio Paratici to avoid coming under huge criticism from the Spurs fan base.
