Maybe Singo from Torino. We were rumoured to have interest in him few days ago.
I saw we were linked with him. To be honest, as much as I really like him, I still don't think he is what we are looking for in Contes system. I watch Serie A quite a bit, and hes insanely athletic, solid defensively and would be an upgrade on Emerson for sure (though many would at this point), but he rarely crosses the ball and trys to beat players with his physicality. I think we need a player much more like hakimi, who has great pace, but can take players 1 v 1 and has a great cross...who that is exactly I don't know.

“I want to spend my career at Leeds and see the club doing well in the Premier League,” he told FourFourTwo magazine, as reported by The Express .
It's an article from 2 years ago. If Leeds are relegated, or even if they stay up, not competing for European places, I expect he may change his tune. On the other hand, if he still feels that way, good luck to him as I admire his loyalty to his club.

Wouldn't be my three choices.

But who would you want out of Dybala, Rashford and Icardi?
Dybala would be my number one out of those, although I don’t see Utd selling us Rashford anyway. De Vrij I would be fine with as long as it’s as a back up to Dier not as a starter. As already covered Cuadrado I think would also be a good signing.

For what it’s worth, supposedly Dybala’s agent is in the UK at the moment to talk to us and Arsenal and whoever else might be interested. Some reports of Chelsea and City going round but I think that’s unlikely

Humor me, would Dybala play in Kulu's position?

Soooo you think Dybala is coming to Spurs, from Juve, to play back up?
Who’s the back up out of Diaz, Mane, Jota, Salah and Firmino? Liverpool only start with three up top. We need to start thinking like a big club and not have a set group of players that are guaranteed to start and then a drop of quality on the bench, that sort of mentality only breads complacency imo. More competition is good.

I agree. But the previous post I quoted, in my mind, was insinuating Dybala's position would be "to give Kane a break", which suggests more of a backup situation.

I'm all for Kane sweating as Dybala is breathing on his neck so closely he can smell his lunch.

Dybala can not replace Kane as they are not the same type of players. Gives Kane a break from producing assists/goals however and allows variations up top.

Yeah I'm not sure I follow people's thinking here. Dybala playing CF in the EPL? Not so sure

He could potentially play a false 9 as long as we have Son running off him much like Messi did for a period at Barca but agree he’s most certainly not a centre forward
