Tottenham want to sign defender who Antonio Conte called a ‘soldier’ if Cristian Romero leaves

Tottenham Hotspur need reinforcements in multiple areas of their pitch this summer.

Spurs had a disastrous 2024/25 domestic season, but they salvaged it in the end by winning the Europa League and qualifying for the Champions League.

The future of Ange Postecoglou remains up in the air, but irrespective of who their manager will be next season, new signings are a necessity.

A top-class central defender will be the priority if Cristian Romero leaves this summer, and Spurs have a target in mind.

Tottenham eye move for Amir Rrahmani

Romero has been heavily linked with a move away from Tottenham this summer.

The Argentina international has his flaws, but he has produced several fantastic performances for Spurs over the years.

Romero was absolutely brilliant in the Europa League final against Manchester United as well, and Postecoglou has publicly made it clear that he wants the defender to stay.

But, if Romero does leave Tottenham, Calcio Napoli 24 have claimed that Spurs are interested in signing Napoli star Amir Rrahmani.

The Kosovo international has been on Napoli’s books for over five years now, and he has established himself as a key player.

Rrahmani has helped the Partenopei win two Serie A titles in three years, and his performances have caught Tottenham’s eye.

The report claims that Napoli want to keep Rrahmani, but ‘strong interest from Tottenham’ could complicate things for the Italian giants this summer.

What Antonio Conte has said about Tottenham target Amir Rrahmani

Antonio Conte’s time at Tottenham didn’t end well, but every Spurs fan will agree that he is one of the best managers in the world.

Conte’s style of play was not great when he was at Spurs, but the one thing he knows better than most others is how to form a solid defence.

The Italian has done that in Italy with Rrahmani and his centre-back partner Alessandro Buongiorno.

Speaking about the pair, Conte said last year, as per Telegrafi: “Alessandro, considering his age, has wide margins and is improving in many aspects, he is thoughtful, receptive, when you tell him something, he absorbs it immediately.

“Next to him, he is lucky to have someone like Amir (Rrahmani), who is a soldier, a robot, he is calibrated, he is a computer, he surprised me that he is very hardworking”.
