Tottenham Hotspur’s Japhet Tanganga has returned to training after recovering from a knee injury suffered at the start of this year.
Antonio Conte has included the defender in his squad for the trip to South Korea, but his future could be away from the north London club, especially after Clément Lenglet’s arrival.
AC Milan are showing interest in the 23-year-old and have already held talks with his agent last week.
The Serie A winners must strengthen their defence in the summer window, after letting Alessio Romagnoli leave the club as a free agent.
Calciomercato claim the Rossoneri chiefs, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara, plan to sign two centre-backs, one on a loan deal and the other one by investing on a young player.
Tanganga fits the former and it’s said the Italian champions have ‘reconnected with the agent’ of the Tottenham player over a ‘phone call’ yesterday.
His profile is taken into consideration at the San Siro, also because Spurs ‘seem willing’ to let the player go out on a loan with a right of redemption.
The Tottenham player has already refused an option to join AFC Bournemouth, and this could come as an encouragement for Milan in their chase for the player.
