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
- Antonio Conte has struggled to find a left wing-back that suits his playing style
- Sergio Reguilon has had several injuries and Ryan Sessegnon has lacked form
- Tottenham could target Atalanta’s Maehle to solve the issue this summer
- Maehle was part of the Denmark team beaten by England in Euro 2020 semi-final
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.
The 24-year-old twice played against Manchester United in the Champions League this season and last summer was praised for an assist against Czech Republic with the outside of his boot that set up a semi-final clash with England.

Meanwhile, Fulham’s Fabio Carvalho is already planning to travel to Merseyside ahead of a £7million move to Liverpool that will be officially announced later this month or early in June.
The 19-year-old is following in the footsteps of Harvey Elliot from Craven Cottage to Anfield, having just helped Marco Silva’s team win promotion back to the Premier League.
