Blow for Tottenham as Spurs-linked Serie A defender agrees new contract with Atalanta

Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini has agreed to a new long-term contract extension with the Serie A club until 2031, according to a report from TEAMtalk. The 22-year-old Italian international previously drew summer transfer interest from Tottenham Hotspur, who made inquiries with the player's entourage before strengthening their backline with other signings under manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Despite his recent contract agreement, Premier League clubs including Tottenham, Chelsea, and Newcastle United reportedly continue to monitor Scalvini's situation. The center-back was limited to 24 Serie A appearances last season due to injury setbacks, but he remains regarded as one of Europe's top young defensive talents.
