Tottenham Hotspur are entering the race for the 21-year-old Serie A star
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori as they look to further strengthen their defence.
Despite their shortcomings this season, Ange Postecoglou has built a strong base in North London which is protected at the base by his defence.
The signing of Mickey van de Ven last summer was a landmark for the Australian manager, with the Dutch defender quickly establishing himself as one of the best in the Premier League.
His incredible pace opened the door for Postecoglou to use his style of play, allowing his side to press high and leave space behind, knowing that Van de Ven could easily cover that ground if necessary.
The return of Destiny Udogie has added another level of dynamism to his side and depth has been added with the addition of Radu Dragusin in January.

But it appears that Postecoglou is still keen to improve his back line, and according to reports from Football Insider, the club are looking to move for Italian defender Calafiori.
The 21-year-old, who came through Roma's academy, has impressed for Bologna this season making 35 appearances in all competitions.
His ability to play as a centre-back and left-back makes him an ideal choice for Tottenham Hotspur, with their depth at the back recently exposed by bitter rivals Arsenal.
