Zaza, Osvaldo, Pirlo, Cuadrado, Witsel

Juventus, as expected, are looking to loan Simone Zaza to give him more experience. Reports sat Juventus are happy with his performance and have no desire to sell him, hardly surprising given they only bought him in the summer.

That would rule out a move to Tottenham or Arsenal. Watford have expressed an interest in taking him on loan but the plan in Italy appears to be to send him to Porto in Portugal in return for Dani Osvaldo going the other way. Osvaldo is a 29-year-old Argentinian-born Italian international striker.

Juventus also want to sign Andrea Pirlo on loan and have reminded him that they did not stand in his way to play in America. They are also talking to Chelsea over the purchase of 27-year-old Columbian winger Juan Cuadrado for a fee in the region of £14-16m. Juventus are confident the deal will go ahead.

In addition to Zaza, Tottenham are chasing Juventus target Axel Witsel, the 26-year-old Belgian playing at St Petersburg. The word from Italy is that any transfer will be difficult which doesn't bode well for our chances of success.


Can you image your child's face when he sees you have kitted his room out with Spurs curtains and a Spurs bed with a Spurs rug or pillow pet. A Spurs poster on the wall, an alarm clock (they might even get up for school on time), an inflatable chair. You know they'll love them all and they won't be a toy they play with for 5 minutes then hardly touch again when that fad has passed. You just can't go wrong with a Tottenham gift. Head across to Football-Shop.net and grab yours in plenty of time for Christmas. Make every morning a Tottenham morning for them.
