Tottenham or West Ham could be in for bargain relegation deal – Following player, chance to be transfer vultures
By Naveen Ullal
Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are among the clubs in the mix for Sassuolo’s Armand Laurienté.
That’s at least what Italian journalist Mirko Di Natale is reporting, and he took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to provide a short update on the 25-year-old.
The winger has managed five goals and five assists from 34 Serie A matches this season, and four of those goals came in the last four league games.
According to Di Natale, teams from the Serie A and the Premier League are interested in Laurienté. Juventus are the only Italian sider named, while both Tottenham and West Ham are named as his suitors from England.
With regards to Spurs and the Hammers, the journalist says they have followed Laurienté on several occasions.
The player’s deal lasts until 2027, but the Premier League duo, Juventus or any other club could be in for a bargain deal, if Sassuolo were to be relegated to the second division.
Sassuolo are currently 19th in the table, three points behind 17th placed Empoli, who have a better goal difference.
Balague: Milan will regret letting Lopetegui join West Ham
“What he did at Sevilla was extraordinary… in the last three years of his time there (Sevilla) they didn’t sign very well,” Ballague told BBC Sport London.
“But he maximised the potential of that team, taking them into the Champions League etc. Look where they are now, they were about to be relegated.
“He’s a man with a lot of energy, with a lot of ideas from the Johan Cruyff school (of attacking philosophy) but versatile enough to understand what a team requires depending on the players he’s got.
“You are talking, I insist, about one of the top managers in Europe. And yes he could have been going to AC Milan. AC Milan’s new American owners felt that he was the man for them. They were negotiating and AC Milan told him ‘Don’t go with anybody else, it’s us’.
“And then this campaign from the ultras, who want to bring Antonio Conte – and in that way control Antonio Conte – it’s all very sad the club decided not to pursue the idea of Lopetegui. By the way this is happening, he’s signed, he’s going to West Ham.”
