Tottenham Hotspur have gone into their pre-season tour of Asia without any new attacking options this summer.
Ange Postecoglou has only seen Timo Werner retained in another loan deal following his short-term stay last season.
Otherwise, the only addition in north London this summer is that of young Archie Gray; who has made a positive start to life at Tottenham.
But Tottenham are expected to soon make some attacking signings this summer with just weeks now until the new season gets underway.
And with links beginning to emerge over a possible move for Federico Chiesa, Alasdair Gold has shared the reaction of those at Tottenham.
What those at Tottenham are saying about Federico Chiesa
Reports coming out of Italy have claimed Tottenham are on the verge of signing Chiesa from Juventus this summer.
The Italian forward finds himself in a tricky position in Turin this summer with new boss Thiago Motta seemingly willing to let him leave.
Chiesa is scheduled to have a meeting with Juventus to discuss his future with Tottenham believed to be circling.
But Gold has now shared the message coming out of Spurs with Chiesa having been made to train alone by Juventus.
Writing from Tottenham’s pre-season trip to Tokyo, Gold has shared what the mood around those at the club is over the links to Chiesa.
According to Gold, Spurs have been left ‘nonplussed’ by the reports surrounding a potential move for the Italian forward.
Chiesa is not one of the players who had been originally drawn up as a target ahead of the summer and, therefore, this means there is ‘no truth’ in the current reports.
This is not the news Spurs fans will have wanted to hear on a Saturday morning…
What Ange Postecoglou said on Friday about Tottenham’s targets
Gold referenced Tottenham’s targets for the summer window having been made and stuck to by those at the club.
On Friday, Postecoglou sat down in front of the media where summer transfers were discussed.
Postecoglou admitted the plans which were made for the start of the window had not faltered meaning the same players were still being targeted.
This could well suggest the likes of Eberechi Eze and Pedro Neto are still the forwards which Tottenham are chasing this summe
