“He’s on the radar of many clubs, for example, I he🍨ard, last summer, Tottenham were considering a move, he was one of the secret players that they had in the list at Tottenham, but they decided to go for🌞 something different because Atalanta were asking crazy money for Scalvini.”
One to watch
Tottenham may have failed to sign Scalvini at this junctur🦋e,𒈔 but he remains a player to watch for Spurs.
