Tottenham ready to pay £27.5million for Keita Balde

Tottenham have been linked with the Lazio attacker Keita Balde Diao for weeks now.

According to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, the Londoners are willing to match the asking price for the Senegalese forward now.

Apparently, Lazio are holding out for a fee of £27.5million for the attacker (translated by HITC). The player is thought to be keen on a move to Juventus but the Italian champions are unwilling to match the asking price for the player.

Keita has been one of the best players in Serie A over the last 12 months and Spurs could certainly use his pace and flair.
