Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur are planning to bid for Inter Milan central defender Milan Skriniar, who is on the radar of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool as well, according to CMW.
Tottenham plan bid for Arsenal target Milan Skriniar
The Italian news outlet have reported that Tottenham are ready to pay €30 million (£26.12 million) for the 27-year-old Slovakia international centre-back.
90min reported last month that Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool all have expressed interest in the 27-year-old defender.
The report claimed that Arsenal and Liverpool want to secure the services of Skriniar on a free transfer next summer.
The former Sampdoria star is out of contract at Inter at the end of the season.
Could a transfer happen in January?
In our view, Tottenham Hotspur could be successful in their quest to sign Arsenal target Milan Skriniar in the January transfer window if they are the only club willing to pay a fee to Inter Milan in the middle of the season.
If Inter are unable to agree on a new deal in the coming weeks, then it will encourage Tottenham and could force the Italian giants into a sale.
After all, the former Serie A and UEFA Champions League winners will surely not want to lose the 27-year-old on a free next summer.
Now, if other clubs start making offers for the defender, then it would get tough for Tottenham to bring Skriniar to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the January transfer window.
