Alessandro Buongiorno, who has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer, has admitted that he is a fan of the Premier League.
It has been widely reported over the last few months that Spurs are looking to add another central defender to their squad this summer and Buongiorno has been named as a target over recent weeks.
Various Italian outlets have suggested this month that Tottenham are battling the likes of Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli for the Torino star (CalcioMercato).
It was reported by Corriere dello Sport last week that Napoli have become the first club to make an offer for the defender, with the Italian side alleged to have bid €35m (£30m) plus €5m (£4.2m) in bonuses and thought to be waiting for a response from Torino.
It was reported earlier this month by FCInterNews that Spurs might have one big disadvantage in the race for Buongiorno as the player prefers to remain in Serie A.

However, the centre-back has now handed Ange Postecoglou’s men a boost by confirming that he is very much open to offers from England.
When asked about the speculation over his future, the 24-year-old has now said (via Gianluca Di Marzio): “The Premier League is a championship that particularly appeals to me because there are very strong teams and players with whom I can continue to work and grow. But I also feel good in Italy and for this reason, we will see what choices to make in the future.”

While it is a boost for Tottenham to hear that Buongiorno is open to moving to the Premier League, I am not completely sure that the defender would be particularly keen on a switch to Spurs.
The Italian would have seen how Dragusin – another promising young centre-back from Serie A – has struggled for game time since swapping Genoa for the North London side in January.
