Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing the Inter Milan ace.
According to a report from the Express, Tottenham can sign Inter Milan midfielder Matias Vecino for just £19 million this summer, and in today’s market, that could turn out to be a real coup for the north London outfit.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is expected to be extremely busy this summer with both incomings and outgoings, and one player whose future is far from certain is Belgium international Mousa Dembele.
The 30-year-old has been linked with a move away from Tottenham this summer, with Serie A sides Juventus, Inter Milan and Napoli all thought to be interested in obtaining his services.

If Dembele does in fact leave Spurs, Poch will obviously have to bring in an able bodied replacement, and Vecino for £19 million could be just the ticket.
The Uruguayan ace is a hard-working midfielder, and his box-to-box nature would see him slot into Pochettino’s setup at Tottenham perfectly.
The Lilywhites could, of course, ask for Vecino plus cash for Dembele, what with Inter’s interest in the Belgian, and that would perhaps be the best way to for both clubs to go about their business this summer.
Either way, if Inter value the 26-year-old at £19 million, Tottenham could secure themselves a real bargain this summer by bringing him to north London.
