Spurs are on the move again. After wrapping up deals for Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, Tottenham Hotspur are now shifting gears toward the final piece of their midfield puzzle — a genuine creative spark in the number 10 role.

Baturina Emerges as Spurs’ Top Target

According to Sport Witness, Martin Baturina has caught Tottenham’s eye following a standout campaign with Como and an eye-catching World Cup showing for Croatia. The 23-year-old is valued at around £70 million, and given how freely the Lilywhites have been spending this window, that price tag might not scare them off.

Why Spurs Desperately Need Him

Last season exposed a glaring gap in Tottenham’s attacking midfield. With James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski both sidelined for extended spells, Xavi Simons was left carrying the creative burden almost single-handedly — and even he battled fitness setbacks along the way.

The Baturina Blueprint

What makes Baturina so appealing isn’t just his eye for a pass. His ball control, technical sharpness, and a genuinely dangerous long-range shot set him apart in Serie A this season. Add in his versatility — capable of playing centrally, as a false nine, or drifting to the left wing — and you’ve got a player tailor-made for Ange Postecoglou’s fluid attacking system.

The real question now: can Spurs get this deal over the line before their rivals come calling?
