£70M Federico Chiesa will listen to Spurs after Chelsea transfer woes

Tottenham are weighing up a record move for Fiorentina attacker Federico Chiesa.

The Sun says Spurs want to join the race for Italy's big hope Chiesa — but it will take a stunning £70m.

Boss Mauricio Pochettino would love a new attacking face to challenge for major honours.

And Spurs spies are ­putting the 21-year-old ­Fiorentina star top of the wishlist.

But Chiesa, who plays wide or ­central and has skills and pace, is one of the most wanted men in Europe right now — with Juventus and the Milan clubs primed to bid.

Sources close to Chiesa reveal he is interested in a move to London and was initially hoping that Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea would come for him.

Yet as Chelsea face a transfer ban and Sarri's future is uncertain, ­Tottenham's chances have risen.
