INTER MILAN are considering a shock move for struggling Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, according to reports.
Spurs’ record £65million signing has disappointed since his arrival in North London last summer but he is reportedly on Inter’s list of desired stars.
Inter Milan are considering a move for Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele
Inter are in the market for a midfielder and have recently been linked with Brescia star Sandro Tonali and Barcelona’s Arturo Vidal.
But they cooled their interest in Tonali as Vidal and Ndombele are ahead of him on their priority list, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Vidal is reportedly their No1 midfield target but they could turn to Tottenham’s 23-year-old if they fail to land the Chilean.
Inter have an excellent recent record of reviving Premier League stars’ careers.
Former Manchester United players Ashley Young, Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez have all had a renaissance since moving to the San Siro.
And Ndombele could be next having struggled to warrant his eye-watering fee since his switch from Lyon.
Form and fitness restricted Ndombele to just 12 Premier League starts last season.
And he failed to impress new boss Jose Mourinho, missing the final three matches of the season with a hamstring strain.
Barcelona were also said to be keen but Spurs would rather not let Ndombele go.
Tottenham say they have not held talks with any clubs and are willing to give Ndombele another chance to prove his worth next term.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy knows selling him would be too expensive.
The club would be unlikely to recoup all of the over-inflated fee they paid for him.
And they would also have to pay up or come up with a deal to settle the remaining five years of his six-year, £130,000-a-week contract.
Ndombele reportedly told Mourinho he would never play for him again in June.
And soon after it emerged he was “determined” to leave this summer.
Ndombele recently became the latest Premier League star to test positive for coronavirus.
