The 21-year-old, who has four goal contributions in 22 Serie A appearances this season, was first linked with a move to Spurs last month when CalcioMercato reported that the North London club had sent scouts to Stadio Via del Mare on multiple occasions to watch him in action this season.
Gazzetta have now also reported on Spurs’ interest in Gonzalez, stating that Antonio Conte’s men are keeping close tabs on the central midfielder.
However, the publication add that the Lilywhites are not alone in their admiration of the Spaniard, who is alleged to be of interest to Milan.
It is explained that Gonzalez’s value has now risen to around €8m (£7m) in light of his performances since his switch to Lecce, and it is suggested that the Serie A club could hang on to the youngster for one more season so that his value grows further.

As we saw with the acquisitions of Pape Matar Sarr and Destiny Udogie, Fabio Paratici likes signing up-and-coming young talents before they explode, which is why a move for Gonzalez cannot be ruled out.
Perhaps Lecce would be receptive to an approach if Spurs offer to loan the 21-year-old back to the club for the 2023-24 season.
