The Tottenham Hotspur is working on planning its squad for next season with the summer transfer market as a key moment for the project. Daniel Levy, president of the club, knows that he has to reinforce the squad with top-level players to offer more variants to Antonio Conte, bearing in mind that the Italian coach told them that if they don’t make great additions, he won’t stay at the club.
One of Antonio Conte’s requests is a left back who can occupy the lane area and who can cover the space that will be left free by Sergio Reguilón, who will leave the club because he has lost his starting position. And one of the names that is sounding with more force is that of Marc Cucurella.
Antonio Conte’s new request for the defense
The Spanish left-back arrived at Brighton in the summer and has established himself as one of the signings of the season in the Premier League, being a fundamental piece in Graham Potter’s team. His impressive performance has caught the attention of Antonio Conte, who considers him an ideal winger for his idea of play and a versatile option to also play central.
Marc Cucurella is valued at 20 million euros, so it seems like a cheap and affordable addition, considering that they want to close several important signings in the summer such as José María Giménez and Milan Skriniar. It is a matter of seeing if Brighton are willing to sell him with only one season in the team.
Other teams have shown interest in the Spaniard, trained at La Masia, but there is no concrete offer on the table. FC Barcelona had him as an option for the left back, but there are several names that appear on Joan Laporta’s list of options.
