Tottenham have been handed a potential lifeline in their pursuit of Inter Milan defensive duo Alessandro Bastoni and Milan Skriniar. It comes after the pair have been heavily linked with a reunion to former boss Antonio Conte.
The Italian head coach has already been busy with making additions to his thin Spurs squad, adding three signings since guiding them to an unlikely top four finish. Fraser Forster, Ivan Perisic and Yves Bissouma have all been confirmed, with more than ten weeks still left for business to be concluded in the window.
A centre-back is reportedly on the agenda, with Bastoni and Skriniar heavily linked. However, the former’s agent has already spoken out about his desire to stay with the Nerazzurri: “He is a huge fan of the team he plays for,” representative Tullio Tinti told SportItalia.
