Sarri demands Spurs raid for first Juventus signing

Maurizio Sarri wants Juventus to raid Tottenham for his first signing.

The Daily Express says Juve expect to finalise the arrival of Chelsea manager Sarri as their new coach in the next 48 hours – and one of his first signings could be Tottenham star Kieran Trippier.

Sarri flew to Italy on Saturday, just hours after winning the Europa League with Chelsea, and after discussions with director Marina Granovskaia at which he made clear he wanted to leave the club.

The 60-year-old is due to have talks with Juve sporting director Fabio Patrici today, and the Italian giants are confident of tying up a deal, having already offered the Chelsea manager £6.2million a year contract for three seasons.

But the Italians are also intent on beating Napoli to the punch for the £35m signature of Tottenham's England full-back Trippier.
