**Davide Frattesi has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past, and Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to bring him to England this summer.**
The 26-year-old has worked with Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi, and it remains to be seen whether the two clubs can agree on a deal.
Frattesi needs more game time
-----------------------------
He has struggled to secure regular opportunities with the Italian champions, Inter Milan, and is available for a fee of £22 million (h/t [CaughtOffside](https://www.caughtoffside.com/2026/05/29/tottenham-eye-move-davide-frattesi/?_gl=1*3nodsa*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTU1Nzk2MTM2MC4xNzgwMTI4MTcx*_ga_XGVVVHJ9FP*czE3ODAxMjgxNjkkbzEkZzAkdDE3ODAxMjgxOTAkajM5JGwwJGgw)). Tottenham have the financial resources to sign him, and they could use more quality in the middle of the park as well.
The 26-year-old will add creativity, drive and control in the middle of the park. He has the technical attributes to do well at Tottenham, and playing under a manager who rates him highly could bring out the best in the player.
Frattesi is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to join a club where he can compete at a high-level and play every week. Sitting on the bench at Inter Milan will not benefit the player.
De Zerbi admires Davide Frattesi
--------------------------------
> De Zerbi has previously heaped praise on Frattesi [during transfer links at Brighton](https://www.sussexlive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/brighton-de-zerbi-frattesi-transfer-8464670): “Frattesi is a big player but we don’t need him because we need different characteristics but he is still a top player. He is a big, big player and he can play in the Premier League and everywhere because he has very important quality. “
The Italian manager clearly rates the midfielder highly. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to submit an official offer to get the deal done. The asking price is quite reasonable, and the player should be able to justify the investment if he adapts quickly to English football.
