After winning Serie A last season, AC Milan have reportedly set their sights on bringing Tottenham academy product Japhet Tanganga to the San Siro for next season.
Talks are reported to have 'intensified' in the past few hours after it was reported in Corriere Dello Sport that the 23-year-old was being eyed as a 'serious' replacement for Alessio Romagnoli, who has departed for rivals Lazio on a free transfer. Should Tanganga join Milan, he would link up with fellow Englishman Fikayo Tomori, who joined I Rossoneri in 2021, initially on loan before making the deal permanent at the beginning of last season.
There appear to be limited opportunities for Tanganga going forward at Tottenham after the arrival of Antonio Conte resulted in him making just 11 Premier League appearances last season, albeit this was the most the defender has managed in his three seasons in the first team in North London. This was after starring nine of Conte's first 16 matches in charge before a knee injury hindered his progress.
