Tottenham, Crystal Palace and Watford are all reportedly interested in signing Argentina international Roberto Pereyra this summer, according to Tuttosport (via Football FanCast).

The Premier League trio are understood to be considering a swoop for the Juventus midfielder, who is tipped to depart Turin after a lack of first-team opportunities during the recent 2015/16 campaign.

The 25-year-old; who has 10 international caps for his country, but missed out on Argentina’s final squad for this summer’s Copa America in which they fell short in the final to Chile, provided one assist in 16 appearances in all competitions for the Serie A champions last season.

Pereyra, who only made his transfer to Juve permanent last summer for €14m following a season-long loan move from Italian rivals Udinese, is thought to be available for about £17.1m after falling out of favour last term.

But the report also suggests that the Premier League trio face stiff competition from Napoli for the attacking midfielder’s services.
