Tottenham Hotspur have rekindled their interest in a big-name winger, who was heavily linked with a move to the North London club earlier this summer.
Spurs have now bolstered their attack with the addition of Savinho, and reports indicate that Omar Marmoush is expected to follow the Brazilian to N17.
However, that will not be the end of Tottenham’s attacking reinforcements this window, with the Lilywhites also preparing an offer for Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo.
Over the last 48 hours, we have heard reports suggesting that Man City are challenging Spurs in their pursuit of the Liverpool man, and that may be why the North Londoners appear to have turned their attention back to a Serie A star.
Tottenham emerge as late suitors for AC Milan star Rafael Leao
Milan News have now revealed that Spurs have emerged as a surprise late destination for Rafael Leao, who is seeking to push through a move away from the San Siro.
The report reveals that Aston Villa had been in talks with Milan over a deal for the Portugal international, but they had been put off by the Serie A club’s high demands.
However, the Villans have now been joined by Spurs in the race for Leao, who is thought to be intent on completing a move to England.
Galatasaray have not abandoned their pursuit of the 27-year-old and remain in the race as we enter the final week of the transfer window.
It is revealed that Rossoneri are only willing to let their star attacker leave if an offer of around €50m to €60m (£42.7-£51.3m) arrives.
Leao’s representatives have offered him to Spurs
Milan News say that the San Siro hierarchy are prepared to keep the winger at the club if their asking price is not met.
Meanwhile, journalist Daniele Longo has a slightly different take on the latest transfer developments surrounding Leao. He claims that it is the player’s representatives who have offered him to Tottenham, rather than Spurs sounding out the winger or Milan.
Longo wrote on X: “In the last few hours, Leao has been proposed again to Tottenham. A track that his entourage was already trying to pursue in mid-July.”
