Atalanta are eyeing Tottenham defender Japhet Tanganga.

La Dea are in the market for a new defensive signing and La Gazzetta dello Sport says contact has been established with Tanganga's minders.

The fullback lost his place last season and is considering his options.

A move to Atalanta could be on, where they are actively exploring the prospect of bringing Tanganga to Serie A next season.

A loan arrangement with the option to buy will be the initial proposal tabled to Spurs.
