Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Stefano Sensi from Inter Milan in the January transfer window, according to 90min.

The report has claimed that Tottenham are looking to bring Sensi to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on a loan deal this month.

Conte worked with the 26-year-old midfielder when he was at Inter and reportedly still admires him.

Sensi and Conte won the Serie A title at Inter last season.

According to the report, a number of other clubs in England are keen on signing Sensi on loan in the January transfer window.

Would Stefano Sensi make Tottenham better?

In our view, Sensi would be a good signing for Tottenham on a loan deal until the end of the season.

Tottenham need a creative player, and Sensi is one.

The 26-year-old Italy international said back in March 2016 that he is at his best as a “playmaker”, adding that that Barcelona legend Xavi was “always my idol” (Juvefc).

Tottenham are aiming to finish in the Premier League top four, and Conte could do with a creative midfielder.

Sensi has made one start and eight substitute appearances in Serie A, and has played only nine minutes in the Champions League for Inter so far this season.

So, in our opinion, the Inter no. 12 could be tempted by a move to Tottenham on loan in the January transfer window.
