Rumors are that Boungiorno (means "good morning" in Italiano) is related to Emiliano Buendía (buendia means "good morning" in Spanish) and hailing from the "Early rising people" tribe
Tottenham now want to sign 'aggressive' centre-back who's made more tackles than Cristian Romero
He's one of Europe’s most versatile defenders🤩tbrfootball.com
Ange Postecoglou‘s side have had a good season so far, but it’s clear as day that they need reinforcements at the back. A new defender is a priority next month, and the latest name to be linked with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is Buongiorno.
Tottenham have been linked with a move to sign Alessandro Buongiorno
When everybody’s fit, Tottenham have one of the best centre-back pairings in the Premier League thanks to Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven.
The Argentine, despite his recklessness every now and then, is a fantastic defender. He has been excellent for Spurs since he joined them and is one of the first names on the team sheet every week.
Van de Ven only joined Tottenham in the summer, but he became an instant fan favourite. His pace and ability to play out from the back are brilliant, and he has been a real miss since his injury.
Apart from Romero and Van de Ven, Spurs don’t really have a centre-back of a similar level – nobody else is even close. That’s why they are expected to be on the market to sign a new one next month, and Alessandro Buongiorno is the latest name to come out of the rumour mill.
The 24-year-old has been fantastic for Torino this season. He is so important to them that when he missed three games due to an injury in October, his side failed to win any of them.
Buongiorno is expected to leave Torino for a bigger club in 2024, and a number of sides in Italy and England are interested in signing him.
Roma Metropolitan Magazine claim that along with Chelsea, West Ham United and Aston Villa, Ange Postecoglou’s side are keen, and they have no problem in meeting Torino’s demands.
The Italian club’s president, Urbano Cairo, is looking for a fee in excess of £26 million to let Buongiorno leave in January.
Alessandro Buongiorno has made more tackles than Cristian Romero
Alessandro Buongiorno has been earning a lot of plaudits for his performances this season.
The Sun revealed this month that old Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho also praised him after watching his play for Torino this term. The same outlet describes Buongiorno as ‘one of Europe’s most versatile defenders’ and ‘one of the most aggressive tacklers in Serie A’.
He has made 32 tackles already in the Italian top-flight so far this season (WhoScored) – one more than Tottenham’s Cristian Romero has managed in the Premier League this campaign (WhoScored).
The two defenders together could make Tottenham an extremely difficult side to score against.

He's a Swedish Veliz, with a few more tricks up his sleeve. One for the future. Pretty regular starter in Copenhagen. Big talent. Never seen him.
I only saw the CL game with United where the comms spent the whole game sucking him off, alluding to comparisons with his English namesake then the fucker came on in the last ten mins and scored.
Although he thinks otherwise, this role is something that Dier can actually do too.
That said if we can get 2/3 players and shift out Hoijberg and Dier whilst getting better players in then winner winner.

If we do have to sign a 9 in the summer, make it this guy

?I get what you say, but the thing is - you cannot eat a sandwich and also keep it for tomorrow.
PEH contract is running up in 18 months so his value in transfer market is falling sharply.
Question is - would Ange rather have player to use for 5 minutes per game or having 25 mil to use to get in midfielder who could be potential starter.
In ideal world this would not be a trade off, and we would have unlimited funds in the market. But we don't. And such sacrifice for long-term good seems very much reasonable and worth it.
Same goes for Lo Celso as well.

That was the start of the second paragraph and as far as I got.
Way too long
Looks like this one is a go-er, probably depends if Hojbjerg leaves
If Chelsea sell him to us during the middle of the season especially then they're mugs.

Their own fault for running their football club like complete amateurs.
I'd be livid at Levy if he ran Spurs like this, no doubt people would be blinded by the fact that he'd spend £1B though.
Saw something yesterday about Enzo possibly being out for a while with something called Pubalgia.
Would mean they end up leaning on Caicedo and Lavia if they sold Gallagher. Might put a spanner in the works.
I don’t think they want to sell Gallagher anyway, it’s simply the FFP, him being club product with short contract so they are forced to sell rather than want to.
When was the last time we took a player off Chelsea in his prime. Not since they were owned by the Russian.
Poyet probably.
Disagree on Bissouma.
Maddison and Bentancur are fair points but our season will be dependant on them staying fit again regardless of what we can sign in the January window.
GLC probably goes in January tbh.
I would be reasonably excited by replacing PEH and GLC with Gallagher though. Just not sure it's a priority compared to a new #6.
