Club now line up player who West Ham sold for just £3m as replacement for £70m Tottenham target

Juventus have now lined up Felipe Anderson – who West Ham sold in 2021 – as a replacement for Tottenham target Federico Chiesa.

That is according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

So, what is the situation involving Tottenham target Federico Chiesa and Felipe Anderson? Let’s take a look…

Juventus eye Felipe Anderson as Federico Chiesa replacement

Well – according to – the Italy international is currently refusing to sign a new contract in Turin, with his current terms set to expire in just over 12 months.

The Italian news outlet believe Juventus cannot afford to lose Chiesa – valued at £70m – on a free transfer, so are preparing for a sale this summer.

Those preparations even extend to finding a replacement, with Anderson – who West Ham sold to Lazio for just in 2021 – being lined up.

It comes after claimed that Spurs are monitoring the Italian’s situation over at the Allianz Stadium.
