Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on AC Milan ace Suso.
Suso
Tottenham Hotspur’s search for summer reinforcements has seen them linked with AC Milan’s Suso – but the Spaniard’s father has hinted that the playmaker will stay at the San Siro, as he has told MilanNews.it.
Whilst Spurs added Georges-Kevin Nkoudou and Moussa Sissoko last summer to boost their attacking midfield and wide options, neither player has made much of an impact, whilst Erik Lamela has been out since October through injury.
The situations surrounding those three players could lead to Spurs looking for further attacking signings this summer, with quality service to Harry Kane the goal for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.
On Sunday, The Mirror reported that Tottenham have turned their attention to AC Milan’s Suso, who has starred in Serie A this season with six goals and seven assists to his name in 27 appearances.
The Spaniard, 23, will be familiar to some having joined Liverpool form Cadiz in 2010, but after just 21 appearances for the Reds, he moved on to Milan in January 2015, making just eight appearances before being farmed out on loan to Genoa.
Six goals in 19 games earned him a chance to feature more prominently with Milan, and he has well and truly taken that chance this season, becoming one of Serie A’s most dangerous wingers.

Quick, skilful and possessing a superb left foot, which he uses to devastating effect by cutting in from the right ad shooting, Suso could be a smart addition for Spurs – but his father has suggested that a summer deal may not be on the cards after all.
Jesus Fernandez has spoken to MilanNews.it about his son’s future, suggesting that Suso is focusing on his return from injury, and is actually intending to renew his contract with Milan rather than move on his summer.
“Suso is recovering from injury, only thinks about Milan and wants to recover as soon as possible,” said Fernandez. “The goal is to renew his contract? Absolutely,” he added.
