Tottenham are weighing a move for Como midfielder Lucas Da Cunha as Roberto De Zerbi looks to strengthen his options in the centre of the pitch. The 25-year-old has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs after establishing himself as a key figure in Italy.
Da Cunha has become Como captain and played an important role in the club’s progress under Cesc Fabregas. His performances have also reportedly brought him to the attention of the French national team.
Tottenham face competition for Lucas Da Cunha
The midfielder recently impressed in Como’s 4-1 Champions League victory over Manchester United, assisting Nico Paz for the opening goal. His display underlined his technical ability, tactical awareness and influence against high-profile opposition.
Da Cunha began his career as an attacking player but has developed into a more disciplined central midfielder. That evolution has increased his value, with his passing, energy and ability to contribute in different roles potentially appealing to De Zerbi.
However, Tottenham would face a difficult negotiation if they decide to pursue the Frenchman. Como are understood to regard their captain as central to the club’s plans and have tied him to a new contract running until 2031.
His growing reputation has also strengthened Como’s position, while Spurs are expected to encounter competition from Chelsea, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Brighton.
Da Cunha is reportedly happy at Como, meaning Tottenham may need to make a particularly strong proposal to persuade both the club and the player to consider a transfer.
For now, Spurs are expected to continue monitoring the midfielder, but any deal would be complicated by Como’s determination to retain one of the most influential players in their squad.
