Meeting held: Spurs enter London talks with club chief as he offers out five players - report

Tottenham Hotspur have held a London meeting with Bologna sporting director Riccardo Bigon as he offers out five players, according to reports.

Spurs face off against arch rivals Arsenal today in the Premier League, a blockbuster derby clash which may well determine who is playing Champions League football next season.

Antonio Conte’s side, if they’re victorious this evening, could be given a major boost in so many ways – including the potential for bigger pull in the summer transfer market and the financial windfall which comes with it.

As the Italian prepares his side for their most important match of the 2021/2022 campaign, Lilywhites officials will be contemplating how to strengthen Conte’s team this summer with or without a top-four finish.

Now, according to Calcio Napoli 24, it appears the club have held talks with Bologna chief Bigon as he travels to England.

Their sources claim the high-ranking Serie A official was in London yesterday ‘to sell five players’ with the aim of ‘meeting’ several clubs including Spurs, holding talks and ‘probing their intentions’.

Naming the players in question, it is believed Mattias Svanberg, Jerdy Schouten, Aaron Hickey, Arthur Theate and Riccardo Orsolini are all on offer as the Italians look to deal their most valued assets.

Of all the men reportedly on offer from Bologna and Bigon, we believe Svanberg stands out as the main man and he has been linked with a move to N17 before.

Described as ‘one of the top four or five’ number 8’s in Europe by an iNews source, it was claimed that the Lilywhites and Paratici were even favourites to sign the Swedish ace ahead of title contenders Man City.

As Svanberg’s club seemingly look desperate to offload this summer in a bid to raise funds,
