Tottenham 'will be in the running' for 113-goal star Paratici knows well

Tottenham Hotspur are ‘in the running’ to sign Juventus attacker Paulo Dybala after it was revealed he will leave the Serie A giants at the end of the season, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

Antonio Conte, who was appointed as Spurs’ head coach last November, is likely to bolster his squad when the window reopens in the summer and Dybala could head to north London.

Spanish sources have recently claimed Tottenham are among the frontrunners to secure the 28-year-old’s services and the north Londoners have already made a firm offer.

The report suggests Spurs managing director Fabio Paratici’s influence could play a key role in getting a deal over the line as he previously worked with Dybala while he was at Juventus, but Inter Milan are also interested.

A move to La Liga could otherwise be on the cards as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are understood to be keen on Dybala.

“He could be the man that helps convince Harry Kane of
