The North London club’s recruitment team has approached the Serie A side to assess the financial viability of a deal, forming part of an ambitious summer transfer strategy aimed at providing manager Roberto De Zerbi with a revamped, elite squad ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
Spurs have had an exceptionally busy summer window, buoyed by a recent £100 million equity injection from the Lewis family trust via ENIC Holdings.
After sealing high-profile deals for Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton (£52 million), Mateus Fernandes from West Ham (£85 million), and a record-breaking £100 million move to bring Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, De Zerbi is now focused on strengthening his wide options.
Bellanova has been earmarked by his compatriot as a prime candidate to operate on the right flank, providing the blend of verticality and physical dynamism required for the manager’s high-intensity system.
The possibility of luring the 26-year-old wing-back away from Bergamo arises from a significant tactical shift at the Gewiss Stadium.
Following the appointment of new Atalanta head coach Maurizio Sarri, Bellanova is reportedly not seen as a key figure in the club’s long-term plans.
With Atalanta prepared to cash in on the defender to support Sarri’s internal rebuild, a valuation has been set between €15 million (£13 million) and €20 million (£17 million).
However, securing a deal will require Tottenham to act quickly in an increasingly competitive market. In addition to interest from Massimiliano Allegri’s Napoli, several Premier League rivals—including Fulham, Nottingham Forest, and Everton—are also in contention.
