Atalanta are among a number of European clubs monitoring Blackburn Rovers' Northern Irish and English defender Tom Atcheson. The Serie A club is joined by league rivals Napoli in monitoring the 19-year-old, who has one cap for Northern Ireland. There is also interest from England, where Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Sunderland, Everton, Brentford, and Brighton & Hove Albion have all recently monitored the player. Bundesliga sides RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are monitoring him, a situation developing despite Atcheson recently signing a new long-term contract with Blackburn. This season, he has made 8 appearances in the Championship and 9 in Premier League 2.
