Tottenham Linked With Roma's Alessandro Florenzi Following Kieran Trippier Departure

Tottenham have turned their attention to Roma's Alessandro Florenzi as a replacement for Kieran Trippier, who left north London to join Atletico Madrid after four years at the club.

Florenzi is the current Roma captain and doubts have been cast over the experienced defender's future in recent months.

The Italian has struggled for form over the past season for his boyhood club and, according to Calciomercato, his future may lie away from Stadio Olimpico.

Tottenham's interest in the full-back is growing, although Roma sporting director Gianluca Petrachi has previously declared Florenzi is not for sale and will be the club's captain for the upcoming season.
