Sarri eyeing moves for Tottenham star and Chelsea duo

Maurizio Sarri wants to sign N’Golo Kante, Emerson Palmieri and Christian Eriksen for Juventus, according to reports.

The former Chelsea boss worked with Blues duo Kante and Emerson during his year at Stamford Bridge.

He controversially moved Kante from the position of defensive midfielder to a more attacking role – a role the Frenchman has continued to operate in since Frank Lampard took over from Sarri.

Juventus were linked with Emerson prior to Sarri swapping London for Turin and speculation that the left-back could make the move has increased since Sarri became Juve boss.

The Express have picked up on reports in Italy suggesting that Sarri is keen to snap up Kante – who has also been linked with Paris St-Germain and Real Madrid – as well as Emerson.

Meanwhile, there continues to be speculation over the future of Tottenham midfielder Eriksen.

The Dane’s Spurs contract expires at the end of the season and he has indicated that he will not sign a new deal amid interest from a number of top clubs, including Manchester United and Real Madrid.

And the Daily Mirror have picked up on a story by Football Italia suggesting that Sarri is interested in signing Eriksen in an exchange deal involving Adrien Rabiot.
