CM: Conte caught on camera as Napoli eye move for Milan-linked Lecce star

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has been caught on camera discussing a potential move for Lecce defender Alesio Romagnoli

Romagnoli, a 36-time Italy international, has previously been linked with a move to Tottenham's rivals, AC Milan.

According to Calciomercato, Conte, who managed Inter Milan before taking the Tottenham job, was spotted talking to Romagnoli's agent, Mino Raiola, at a recent Serie A match.

Calciomercato claims that Conte is a 'big admirer' of Romagnoli and wants to bring the defender to the Premier League.

Romagnoli has been in impressive form for Lecce this season, helping the newly-promoted side to keep four clean sheets in their opening seven Serie A matches.

The 28-year-old has also scored two goals for Lecce, including a stunning long-range effort against Juventus.

Romagnoli's performances have attracted the attention of several top clubs, including Napoli, who are reportedly keen to sign the defender as a replacement for Kalidou Koulibaly, who joined Chelsea in the summer.

It remains to be seen whether Tottenham will make a move for Romagnoli, but Conte's interest in the defender is clear.

Romagnoli is a versatile defender who can play in a number of positions, including centre-back, left-back and right-back.

The Italian international is also a good passer of the ball and is comfortable playing out from the back.

If Tottenham were to sign Romagnoli, he would provide Conte with a much-needed option in defence.
