Roberto De Zerbi is reportedly eager to sign Fiorentina striker Moise Kean during the upcoming summer transfer window if he guides Tottenham Hotspur to safety.
The 46-year-old was appointed as Spurs’ new permanent head coach last week and he has been tasked with ensuring they avoid a humiliating relegation down to the Championship this season.

The north London giants are only one point and one place above the relegation zone with seven matches remaining and they have turned to De Zerbi following the departure of interim boss Igor Tudor by mutual consent.
The Italian’s current focus is on securing a positive result in his first match against Sunderland on Sunday afternoon, but he has already identified the aforementioned Kean as a top target for the 2026 summer window.
That is according to Calciomercato, who claim that Kean appears “destined” to leave Fiorentina this summer amid significant interest in his signature. AC Milan are also eager to sign the 26-year-old, however they are currently unwilling to match Fiorentina’s €50 million asking price, which could help Spurs finalise a deal.
The former Everton striker has scored 34 goals in 77 games since the start of the 2024-25 season, and although his current contract includes a €62m release clause, it’s reported that Fiorentina will permit a departure if they receive an offer worth €50m this summer.
Analysis: Would Moise Kean be a good signing for Spurs?
With Richarlison widely tipped to depart and Randal Kolo Muani set to return to Paris Saint-Germain after his loan spell at the club, Spurs will likely be in the market for a new striker if they avoid relegation this summer.
Dominic Solanke has caught the eye in flashes since his arrival from Bournemouth, but De Zerbi will undoubtedly want an alternative option to challenge the England international for a place in his preferred starting XI.
Kean has been one of the best strikers in Serie A over the past 18 months and if he is available this summer, a deal makes perfect sense for Spurs, despite the fact he flopped during his time at Everton.
However, the 26-year-old is unlikely to be a player capable of single-handedly lifting Tottenham back up into contention for Champions League qualification, with the club in need of several other reinforcements to climb back up the Premier League table.
