Tottenham are working on a deal to sign Juventus striker Domenico Berardi as Tim Sherwood targets new signings before the transfer deadline.

Sherwood has been promised funds to add to his squad this month, but he is yet to splash the cash on any arrivals.

However, Spurs scouts have identified 19-year-old Berardi, and Spurs are now in contact with Juventus over a deal for the striker.

Berardi, who is currently on-loan at Sassuolo, has been in outstanding form this season, catching the eye with four goals against AC Milan recently.

Manchester City, Manchester United and Barcelona are all thought to be following his progress, but Spurs hope they can jump the queue and bag him this month.



Sherwood would have to spend around £15million to get his man, but reports in Italy claim that he could include Etienne Capoue in the deal.
