Fiorentina eyeing Newcastle and Tottenham defenders

Italian club Fiorentina are believed to be in pursuit of a pair of Premier League defenders.

Florentine newspaper La Nazione has reported that La Viola are looking at a double summer swoop of Newcastle United's Davide Santon and Tottenham's Younes Kaboul.

23-year old Italian full-back Santon has been with the Magpies since arriving from Inter Milan in 2011 but could be lured back to his homeland according to reports.

28-year old French centre-back Kaboul has already been linked with a summer exit at White Hart Lane as he prepares to come out of contract at the completion of the current season.

Kaboul, who has been with Spurs since 2010, is free to negotiate with clubs outside of England and it is believed that Fiorentina are keen to hold talks regarding a move to Florence ahead of the 2014/15 Serie A season.
