Paper Talk: Spurs lead the chase for Sampdoria striker; Napoli lining up on-loan Sunderland man

Sampdoria are to sit down with the agent of Czech striker Patrik Schick to discuss his future. Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio claims that the 21-year-old has become a primary summer target for Tottenham Hotspur and that club President Massimo Ferrero now wants to know if the player is willing to commit his future to the port club.
 
Schick’s current deal has a release clause of €25M and it’s believed that the Premier League side, along with their North London neighbours Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Inter all have the player on their radars.
