Tottenham target Atalanta wing-back Joakim Maehle to solve their problems on the left flank with the Dane viewed as a perfect fit for Antonio Conte's favoured system

Tottenham are looking at Danish Euro 2020 semi-finalist Joakim Maehle from Atalanta to solve Antonio Conte's problem at left wing-back.

Maehle, regarded as one of the best attacking defenders in the world, has scored nine times in 25 appearances for his country and is viewed as ideal for Conte's 3-4-3 system.

Nobody has been able to nail down a regular place on the left for Tottenham this season with Sergio Reguilon suffering injuries and Ryan Sessegnon inconsistent. At one point, the right-sided Matt Doherty had to switch flanks.

With Tottenham's Italian director of football Fabio Paratici already successfully raiding Serie A for Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur in January, he is set to return there for Maehle.
