TOTTENHAM could make a bid for Inter Milan star Alessandro Bastoni, reports suggest.
Bastoni, 23, rose to prominence with the Serie A giants while under current Spurs boss Conte.
According to Inter Live, the North Londoners could make a €50million (£43m) offer for the centre-back during the January transfer window.
Transfer insider Dean Jones, previously stated that the Italy international would be a “dream signing” for Tottenham manager Conte and chief Fabio Paratici.
However, Spurs could face competition as the 23-year-old is also being monitored by both Manchester United and Manchester City.
The Italian could be keen on a reunion with Conte as he recently praised him for helping him take his game to the next level.

Bastoni said: “It is as if I have made a qualitative leap.
“He is a driving force, a real motivator who makes specific requests to his players, trying to transfer a winning mentality.
“Of course, bad moments also happen, but the important thing is to know how to get up. I owe him so much.”
Bastoni has also been linked with Chelsea and could thus be subject to quite a heated bidding war.

But he finally got his big break at the San Siro under Conte and currently counts a total of three goals and 10 assists in 130 appearances.
