Lorenzo Insigne to Spurs or Liverpool?

Serie A side Napoli have apparently slapped a £44m price tag on Italy international Lorenzo Insigne, with Tottenham and Liverpool said to be lurking after rumours of wage wrangling.

The 25-year-old’s current contract runs until 2019, so he will not come cheap to the Premier League. An adaptable attacker, able to play on the wing or behind a striker, Insigne was an inspiration for the Naples outfit last campaign with 13 goals in all competitions, and is actually a youth product of the Campania club.

Spurs circling the Italian makes sense, though the sum seem a bit steep for the English capital club, as Mauricio Pochettino seeks more attacking spark in his side.

With a stern defence and a goal machine in Harry Kane, Tottenham are only missing a few puzzles pieces to be real Premier League title contenders. A winter window blockbuster transfer could be just the tonic Tottenham need to aid Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and co.

As for Liverpool, do the Reds really require another attack-minded midfielder? Insigne would slot straight into Jurgen Klopp’s system but it could be a case of too many cooks.
