Liverpool and Tottenham battling to sign Parma defender

The Serie A has produced some fine defensive talents over the years with another one catching the eyes of the Premier League’s biggest clubs.

Corriere dello Sport has reported that Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are both interested in signing Parma centre back Giovanni Leoni in the summer after his breakthrough campaign with them in the Italian top-flight.

As per the report, Leoni is valued at close to £30 million, a fee the English duo are comfortably expected to afford, and featured in most of Parma’s Serie A outings since January.

At six feet, five inches height, he has a towering aerial presence, fantastic reading of the game, exceptional physical prowess and passing ability on the ball with both his feet, thereby making him an ideal option for the Premier League.
