Tottenham’s £26m bid for 21-year-old Serie A starlet

Tottenham have reportedly launched a £26m January move for Italy youth international forward Domenico Berardi.

The Premier League side, who drew 2-2 with Leicester City in the FA Cup on Sunday, are understood to have already made an official approach for the Sassuolo youngster this month.

The 21-year-old, who is a Italy Under-21 international, has scored three league goals in 12 appearances for the Serie A outfit this season.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino admits he would like to sign a new striker during the January transfer window to help ease the goalscoring burden upon the shoulders of England international Harry Kane at White Hart Lane this term.
