Tottenham Hotspur have been heavily linked with a move for Bologna defender Takehiro Tomiyasu in recent weeks.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Londoners are still working to sign the 22-year-old, and their opening bid of around €18 million remains on the table.

However, the Italian club are holding out for a fee of around €20-25m, and negotiations are ongoing between the two clubs.

Romano further claims that the player wants to move to Tottenham this summer.
