Per TuttoMercatoWeb, Juventus are interested in signing Spurs midfielder Bissouma this summer as they eye a replacement for Douglas Luiz. The Brazilian has been told to find a new club amid links with Manchester United, and the Mali international is seen as an attainable target; his contract expires next summer, and Spurs want around €20m to allow him to leave.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Bissouma made 44 appearances in all competitions last season, scoring twice, as Spurs won the Europa League. Juventus' dream target is Sandro Tonali but they accept that the Italy international will be exceedingly difficult to sign this summer, as will Inter Milan's Davide Frattesi. Bissouma has come on the radar as a result.
DID YOU KNOW?
The 28-year-old has 41 caps for Mali and previously played for Brighton in the Premier League. After 191 appearances in the English top-flight, he could well have the opportunity to complete a move to Italy soon enough.
