Tottenham scouts may not have enjoyed what they saw.
AC Milan v Empoli Italian Serie A
Tottenham Hotspur remain keen on AC Milan attacker Suso, who has established himself as a first team regular for the club since leaving Liverpool.
Tuttomercatoweb report Tottenham had a scout present at the San Siro on Sunday to watch Suso in action against Empoli.
Suso has seven goals and nine assists for the season for the Serie A giants, although Tottenham’s scout may not have been overly impressed with what he saw.
The Spaniard produced a dud of a performance as Milan slipped to a shock 2-1 home defeat to 17th placed Empoli.
Suso was the villain as he missed a crucial penalty which would have changed the game.

He had a wayward afternoon in general, attempting nine shots at goal, four of which hit the target, and had no goals to show for his efforts.
This was more attempts than anybody on the pitch, and on a different day his direct approach could have reaped rewards.
Suso created two chances and was withdrawn for Keisuke Honda with two minutes to go.
The 23-year-old started on the right wing, a role Tottenham did not have at the weekend as they adapted a 3-4-2-1 formation against Chelsea with Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen playing off Harry Kane.
The Milan forward is in talks to sign a new contract at Milan but Talksport reported last week he is stalling over a deal as he wants a pay increase.
