Tottenham Hotspur may still be battling for Premier League survival, but preparations behind the scenes are already gathering pace, with Spurs reportedly sending scouts to watch Pierre Kalulu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s chances of beating the drop were significantly boosted by West Ham United\u2019s latest defeat to Newcastle United, safety is still not guaranteed.<\/p>\n

\n

Nothing has changed in the Premier League table, with Spurs still only two points clear of the Hammers, who have played a game more and possess a significantly worse goal difference than Tottenham.<\/p>\n

A draw against Chelsea and Spurs will once again be a Premier League side next season, but a defeat will see the fight for survival extend to the final day of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Despite the uncertainty surrounding their league position, Tottenham still have one eye on next season, with preparations already beginning behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

Tottenham eye Pierre Kalulu and Nicolo Fagioli moves<\/h2>\n

According to Tuttosport, Tottenham are understood to have set their sights on two Serie A stars as they look to bolster their squad ahead of next season.<\/p>\n

Juventus centre-back Pierre Kalulu and Fiorentina midfielder Nicolo Fagioli are the two players on Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s radar.<\/p>\n

Kalulu has been the subject of plenty of transfer speculation of late, with Manchester United also looking at the 25-year-old defender and already making an approach, although the Turin club closed the door on a potential exit.<\/p>\n

Spurs are now considering the centre-back and even sent a scout to watch him live during Juventus\u2019 2-0 defeat to Fiorentina on Sunday. The Tottenham official also watched La Viola midfielder Fagioli.<\/p>\n

Spurs expected to make Kalulu move soon<\/h2>\n

Spurs Web has since reported that Roberto De Zerbi is keen on Tottenham signing Fagioli, given his profile as a midfield controller and tempo dictator.<\/p>\n

However, while a price tag for the midfielder was never previously revealed, Tuttosport has now claimed that La Viola will not consider anything below \u00a326m-\u00a335m (\u20ac30m-\u20ac40m) for the 25-year-old midfielder.<\/p>\n

As for Kalulu, it is claimed that Spurs are expected to make a move for the 25-year-old Italy international in the coming days.<\/p>\n

However, they are unlikely to complete a deal for the Juventus defender, with the Turin club intent on keeping him. Juventus have already opened talks with his representatives over a contract renewal until 2030, alongside a salary increase from \u00a32m (\u20ac2.4m) to around \u00a33.3m-\u00a33.5m (\u20ac3.8m-\u20ac4m) net per year.<\/p>\n
