Aston Villa and West Ham United have entered the race for the services of 28-year-old Tottenham Hotspur target Bryan Cristante.
According to a report by TVPlay, Tottenham Hotspur are keen on having Bryan Cristante in their ranks. The 28-year-old has been a consistent performer for AS Roma over the years and he has attracted a lot of attention of late.
While Spurs are willing to push hard, they are not alone in the race for his signatures. Aston Villa and West Ham United are also interested in the 28-year-old Italian international.
Cristante joined AS Roma in the summer of 2018. It was an initial loan deal that was made permanent in the following summer. Over the years, he has featured in 244 matches for the Italian club and has contributed towards 29 goals.
The 28-year-old has been a great servant of the club and his versatility has been a key weapon for them. He has featured in different roles in the centre of the park as well as in the heart of the defence. The Roma midfielder has been an integral part of Jose Mourinho’s team and the Portuguese boss has always trusted him to get the job done.
His consistent performances have attracted the attention of quite a few clubs. Tottenham Hotspur are looking to reinforce their midfielder and they feel Cristante could be a great fit for them. And, according to a report, they are ready to offer €30 million to land the midfielder at the club.
His versatility could be a huge boost for Ange Postecoglou who is looking to build a team that can challenge for major titles. The Hammers are also interested in his services. They are looking to add more depth to their ranks in the near future.
David Moyes is looking for a versatile midfielder and Cristante seems to be a perfect fit. As far as Aston Villa are concerned, Unai Emery will look to make another major signing to bolster his squad. The Spanish manager wants to land the 28-year-old at the club at all costs. Villa’s Managing director Monchi could help their cause as he was the one who signed him at AS Roma back in the day.
While all three Premier League clubs are keen on having him in their ranks, Roma’s priority will be keeping him at the club for as long as possible. However, they might not be able to reject an offer of over €30 million. They do not have the best of finances and his departure could be a great deal for them.
