Tottenham Hotspur are leading the race for Inter Milan central defender Stefan de Vrij, according to Calciomercato.
Tottenham interest in Stefan de Vrij
It has been reported by the Italian news outlet that Tottenham are the main club interested in De Vrij.
As a matter of fact, Spurs are the only club mentioned in the report in Calciomercato.
Inter are reporting willing to cash in on the Netherlands international centre-back in the summer of 2022.
The defending Italian champions then plan to use the transfer fee to reinvest in a younger centre-back.
Boost for Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham are defensively vulnerable.
We saw that under Jose Mourinho, Nuno and now Conte.
Of course, we know that Conte is a very smart tactician, and he will get Spurs sorted defensively in the short term.
However, to build for the future and to win major trophies, Tottenham need better defenders.
Conte worked with De Vrij at Inter.
In fact, they won the Serie A title together last season.
Inter reportedly willing to sell the defender is a boost for Spurs.
De Vrij, whose agent is Mino Raiola, is 29 and is at the top of his game.
Virgil van Dijk’s international teammate would be ready to make an immediate impact at Tottenham.
