A fresh insight into the efforts of Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur to lure a pair of Juventus stars to the club this month has been provided on Friday evening.
The first surrounds midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur.
All-action Uruguayan international Bentancur has of course been hotly tipped for a move to England this month, albeit with Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa.

As per a report from Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, though, on Friday, Tottenham have joined the hunt for the 24-year-old.
The Lilywhites are understood to have tabled a proposal to take ‘Benta’ on loan for the remainder of the campaign, as Antonio Conte seeks much-needed reinforcements to his side’s ranks in the middle of the park.
Those in a position of power at the Allianz Stadium, however, rejected the proposal out of hand.

The transfer team at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, though, have evidently not yet been deterred in their hopes of landing at least one member of Massimiliano Allegri’s Juve squad before the transfer window slams shut.
This comes with Di Marzio’s report backing claims across the continent this afternoon that Spurs have indeed returned for Bianconeri attacker Dejan Kulusevski.
The Lilywhites, earlier today, saw their efforts to land Porto wide-man Luis Diaz go up in smoke, owing to a sudden swoop on the part of Liverpool.
In turn, Daniel Levy and co. have been forced to look elsewhere, with Kulusevski, amid a hit-and-miss campaign in Turin to date, having been identified as one such option.
It is understood that Spurs are working on a loan deal through the summer, which will feature an obligation to buy once certain conditions are met.

Tanguy’s time is up
Whilst the efforts of the hierarchy at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to add long overdue reinforcements to Antonio Conte’s squad continue to come up short, though, it at least appears as though one player is primed to head in the other direction out the revolving doors in north London over the days ahead.
The individual in question? Tanguy Ndombele.
As confirmed by a host of sources, French international Ndombele, out of favour under boss Conte as things stand, is on the verge of securing a return to his home country, with Paris Saint-Germain.
The Ligue 1 heavyweights are expected to take the midfielder on loan for the remainder of the season, with an option to buy in the summer.
