Inter Milan player ‘intrigued’ by idea of joining Tottenham after failed £22m West Ham bid
Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on a Serie A centre-back, and they have an opportunity to complete a deal for him in January.
Spurs are thought to be keen on adding another top-class centre-back to their squad, given the injury record of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven.
Several Premier League centre-backs have been mooted as targets for Tottenham, and according to several sources, the latest name on Spurs’ wishlist is Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa.
Now, a report from Italy has claimed that a Serie A defender, who could be on the shop window, has also emerged as a target for the Lilywhites.
Inter Milan star may be open to a Tottenham switch in January
According to Gazzetta dello Sport Inter Milan defender Yann Bisseck is also on the North London club’s radar.
The report says that Bisseck finds the prospect of a move to Tottenham Hotspur ‘intriguing’ and his entourage may be willing to make the deal happen.
It is revealed that the German international is ‘eager to test himself in the Premier League‘ after spending two and a half years with the Italian giants.
The outlet explains that West Ham offered €25m (£22m) for the centre-back in the summer, but the move failed to materialise, and now, a switch to their London rivals could become a possibility for the defender.
What is Inter’s stance on Yann Bisseck?
Bisseck has struggled for regular starts at San Siro this season, having made just three Serie A appearances so far this term.
Gazzetta say that the Nerazzurri are open to selling the 24-year-old to Tottenham in January if their asking price is met, while the player’s representatives would also welcome the move.
In fact, the report alleges that Inter chiefs Giuseppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio have already started studying the market for a defender to replace Bisseck.
