Domenico Berardi has continued to perform at a consistent rate. The Italian forward has appeared in 21 league matches this season for Sassuolo. Berardi has registered 6 goals and 4 assists in this year’s campaign. The 21-year-old has played a huge role in Sassuolo’s impressive season, as the side currently sits in seventh in the Serie A, only 3 points behind AC Milan.
Berardi is a highly versatile forward, who can play on either wing. Tottenham have been looking for a back-up for Harry Kane for quite some time. The Italian forward would be able to slot into Pochettino’s system fairly quickly, as the 21-year-old possesses high energy and fitness. The Italian forward would be a pivotal signing for this Tottenham side.
