Roberto De Zerbi wants to bring Argentina international Giuliano Simeone, who starred at this summer’s World Cup, to Tottenham in January.De Zerbi has repeatedly spoken about the need for his Spurs players to show character and fight, which is part of the reason why the Tottenham boss was not completely unhappy with Rodrigo Bentancur’s sending off against Man United.Back in the summer, the Italian even spoke about wanting to create an Argentina-like team spirit at Spurs after watching the South American side fighting for each other in the tournament, and making it all the way to the final.He said at the time: “When I coached Marseille, I organised retreats precisely to be together, to do something that wasn’t just football. An example is Argentina. At the World Cup, they set a precedent: team spirit, playing for something that is more important than just the result, going above and beyond.”It has now emerged that the 46-year-old is keen on bringing to N17 a player who made a key contribution to the Albiceleste’s march to the final.Photo by Marcelo Endelli/Getty ImagesTottenham have explored a move for Atletico Madrid winger Giuliano SimeoneAccording to a report in TEAMtalk, Spurs hold an interest in Giuliano Simeone, who is the son of Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone.The outlet claims that over recent months, Tottenham have explored the possibility of doing a deal to bring the 23-year-old to North London.Sources at Spurs have told the outlet that De Zerbi is a big admirer of Simeone and believes he will be an excellent fit for his system. The former Brighton boss is also convinced that the Atletico star would be easily able to adapt to the demands of Premier League football.However, it is revealed that the Lilwhites are not alone in their admiration of the winger, with Man City and Man United also making enquiries over the player’s availability back in the summer.Atletico have not shown a willingness to sell SimeoneHowever, the issue for Spurs is that Atletico have not shown any interest in listening to proposals for the Argentina international.The report claims that Simeone is thoroughly enjoying life in the Spanish capital, where he continues to play regularly under his father.With the personal and professional relationship between the pair being strong, there is said to be no indication at the moment that either the club or the player is actively thinking about parting ways.Premier League clubs are thus aware that any potential move for Simeone will not be straightforward, given Atletico’s reluctance to sell.READ MORE: Roberto De Zerbi makes bold prediction despite Tottenham’s struggles to score goalsThe post Tottenham want to poach Giuliano Simeone right from under his own father’s nose appeared first on Spurs Web.
