"On the Serie A front, Genoa have been in touch with Tottenham to discuss a potential transfer of Giovanni Simeone (striker) and Diego Laxalt (attacking winger).


Laxalt had previously been linked with a move to Chelsea whilst Simeone is one of the most promising strikers in Italy at the moment.


The 22-year-old is the son of Atletico Madrid coach Diego and scored 12 goals in his first 35 Serie A games last season.


According to Genoa-based paper Il Secolo XIX, Spurs have asked information about both players who could leave the Marassi for a combined € 35/40 million fee."

As per @daryl hannah's post in the Giovanni Simeone thread.

My excitement is beyond control. But thanks anyway.

Weirdly when I look on wikipedia for Giovani's height, I seen this guys name and remembered him being very good on fm a few years ago and thought I wonder how he's doing now.....then boom he's linked.

 

[The Swellhead Spur]

Played as a left wing back, was pretty good last season and is part of the Uruguayan national team

 

[Dazzazzad]

I think we should take this one with a pinch of La...argh, I can't do this to you guys!

 

[matthew.absurdum]

apparently he is a lm／lwb rather than a lw in genoa 3142 formation

 

[TEESSIDE1]

His head looks like it's being attacked by worms

He looks like one of the centinals in the Matrix lol

 

[gp13tot]

Please don't be this guy. Would be seriously underwhelming

 

[archiewasking]

Sounds like a computer keyboard with a button missing.

LB / LWB is surely not a position where we need to be spending c£10-15 million of our limited transfer budget.

Maybe, but we do need wing backs with pace in 3 CB formation. Rose injured, davies and trippier not so fast. This guy Laxalt is really fast.

 

[St José Dominguez]

Is he fast? Because my biggest fear this season is when Rose is injured our wing backs are very slow. This will be further exposed at Wembley.
Maybe we'll sell Wimmer use Davies as LCB cover and this guy as back up to Rose.

I think I prefer his cousin, Diego Laxative. I hear he's the shit!

I think it is, if we want to play 3 at the back Rose is injured. Only leaves Davies, who can't play wing back. Sure Rose and new RB will be first choice leaving FB cover as Dier/Davies in a back 4 or Trippier/Laxit? in a back 5. Maybe an idea?

 

[GobbyJJ]

Would his signature block Bales arrival as our new LB?

I mean, Davies did play in a back 3 for us, and we won nearly every game when he did.

What games was that? I can remember Poch sticking Wanyama in but not Davies?

Give this thread a couple more hours and this guy will be the player we've been missing and why the f hasn/'t levy signed him yet.!

I assume @THFCSPURS19 means when he was used as a LWB in that formation, Davies has hardly ever been used as a CB for us.

I don't care anymore I just want a signing. My patience with, "the you'll be happy when he signs, " top secret target is razor thin. Please sign someone this week. I just want to dream.

According to fifa, yes, around 86-88
