Tottenham Hotspur’s search for a backup for Harry Kane has seen them negotiate a deal for Napoli’s Arkadiusz Milik.
On September 24th, multiple reports from Italy talked about the optimism of getting the striker transferred to the north London club in the coming days.
Everton are now dragged into the saga surrounding the Poland international’s future.
Calciomercato.it explains the Naples club ‘have contacted’ the Toffees in ‘recent hours’ to understand if their former manager, Carlo Ancelotti, is interested in having Milik at Goodison Park.
Spurs emissaries already met intermediaries representing Milik on Wednesday, and the meeting had a ‘positive outcome’. Calciomercato.it now states the talks are expected to continue today.
Milik’s current deal is until 2021. According to the report, Napoli are open to the idea of renewing his contract for one more year and then sanctioning a loan deal with an obligation to buy.
Everton being pulled in may be to pressure Tottenham.
