Tottenham could be set for a battle off the pitch as well as on it against AC Milan as both clubs are hoping to sign Lecce midfielder Joan Gonzalez. The 21-year-old has impressed in Serie A this season with four goal contributions in 22 appearances with Lecce enjoying a steady campaign in Italy sitting 13th, 10 points clear of the drop zone.
The two teams have already come to blows in recent weeks after they were drawn to face each other in the Champions League round of 16. The first leg, played at San Siro, was won by Milan with Brahim Diaz scoring an early goal to hand the Italians the advantage.
The second leg is set for March 8 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Antonio Conte will be hoping his players can overturn the deficit with the Spurs boss likely to be absent. Conte underwent significant surgery last month but was back in the dugout for the clash against Leicester.
