Tottenham Hotspur have been heavily linked with a move for Napoli’s Arkadiusz Milik for a number of months.
The Mail claimed back in September that the North Londoners were set to meet Milik’s agent and that the club were in talks over a £25million deal to sign Milik as a back-up to Harry Kane.
Spurs instead moving for Carlos Vinicius on a season long loan move from Portuguese giants Benfica.
talkSPORT claimed in November that despite the arrival of Vinicius, Milik could potentially have been a long-term solution for Spurs.
The 26-year-old’s contract in Naples runs out at the end of the season, meaning clubs outside Italy could start commence negotiations for a free transfer from January.
The Polish forward has now completed a loan switch to Marseille where he will link up with former Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas.
Napoli announced on their official Twitter account that Milik will remain with Marseille until June with the French club having the obligation to make the transfer permanent.
