According to reports from Italian media outlet Calcio Mercato, Marseille have submitted a €40 million (£35 million) offer to sign Fiorentina’s highly rated striker Giovanni Simeone.

The 22-year-old joined La Viola from Genoa in 2017 and has made a strong impression for them. Last season he scored 15 goals and registered five assists in all competitions.

He is a terrific talent and has a bright future. He has shown great attributes required to be a success in the Premier League, and that is why Tottenham have been monitoring his development for a while.
