Sky Sports have revealed that Inter Milan are considering making an offer for Celtic star Matt O’Riley, who is rumoured to be on Tottenham’s radar.
O’Riley has developed impressively since his switch to Celtic Park two years ago, with Ange Postecoglou being the man who took him from MK Dons to the Glasgow giants at the time.
The versatile midfielder, who can operate as a six or an eight, is having an outstanding campaign, with nine goals and eight assists to his name across all competitions, and he won his first international cap for Denmark last month.
Tottenham’s interest in the 23-year-old came to light almost two months ago when TEAMtalk revealed that the North London club were one of a number of Premier League clubs monitoring the player’s development.

Inter Milan could pounce on Matt O’Riley
Sky have now claimed that Inter are now considering stealing a march on other suitors and making an initial loan bid for O’Riley, with an obligation to make it permanent.
The report says that Celtic will demand a club-record fee for the midfielder, exceeding the £25m they got for Jota in the summer.
The publication names Aston Villa, West Ham, PSV Eindhoven and Atletico Madrid as admirers of O’Riley but makes no mention of Spurs.
Spurs Web Opinion
While Postecoglou knows O’Riley well from his time at Celtic, the Aussie coach has not really shown an inclination to bring any of his former players to Spurs, perhaps because he realises the considerable step up in quality between the Scottish top-flight and the top end of the Premier League.
