If Tottenham Hotspur genuinely want Arkadiusz Milik, now is the time to strike.

The Polish hitman only has one year left on his contract with Napoli and he won’t be extending it, according to the club’s president.

The Serie A outift look set to cash in on the 26-year-old who, according to Goal.com, is on Tottenham’s radar.

Here’s what Aurelio De Laurentiis has said to Sky Italia: “Milik has always been on the market. Since I’ve known the man, I’ve been asking him to extend his contract. He just looks at me and doesn’t reply. So at that point, you have to accept he has to leave.”

Well there you have it, Milik looks set to go, but Spurs still have a bit of work to do – again, if they’re interested.

That’s because Calciomercato have reported that the player is keen on a move to Juventus, which makes it difficult for the North Londoners.

He has more chance of playing regularly in Turin than he does under Jose Mourinho, who has Harry Kane, one of Europe’s finest number nines.

And it just so happens that Juve could be terminating Gonzalo Higuain’s contract [Tuttosport], which opens up a window for Milik in that regard.

He’s certainly leaving it looks like but have Tottenham left it too late?
