TOTTENHAM are reportedly stepping up their pursuit of Atalanta midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi.
Spurs boss Antonio Conte has gone on record as saying he wants to add to his squad in the January window after a couple of poor results in recent weeks.
And Ukraine international Malinovskyi has been linked with a move to north London.
According to Il Giorno, Tottenham have now made contact with Atalanta’s head of recruitment, Lee Congerton, over a possible deal.
It comes as the 29-year-old searches for more game time having started just four of the Serie A side’s 12 league matches so far this season.
