Japhet Tanganga last made an appearance for Tottenham Hotspur back in January and has been sidelined since then with an injury.

That, however, has not stopped him from emerging as a transfer target for AC Milan this summer.

On July 7th, Sky Italia reported the defender’s agent had held a meeting with the Serie A winners in Italy.

It was also explained the 23-year-old wants to play regularly next season, which could be difficult at the north London club, especially following the impending arrival of Barcelona’s Clément Lenglet.

Another report from Sky Italia now explains the Rossoneri’s interest in Antonio Conte’s man has been ‘confirmed’, after his representatives held talks with the Italian champions in Milan on Wednesday.

Milan sporting director Ricky Massara likes the Tottenham player’s profile and he could become a ‘concrete idea’ for the club’s defence in the ongoing window.

Meanwhile, Gianluca Di Marzio goes on to add the San Siro club could ‘go as far’ as making ‘first official contact’ with Tottenham to sign Tanganga.
