Tottenham Hotspur were linked with Napoli’s Arkadiusz Milik during the last window, but they decided against signing the striker and ended up taking Carlos Vinícius on loan from Benfica.
On November 18th, Italian journalist Ciro Venerato told Kiss Kiss Napoli that Everton are not interested in the 26-year-old, while Spurs ‘like him’.
With a year left on his contract and refusing to sign an extension, Gennaro Gattuso has not included the former Ajax in his plans this season.
According to Calciomercato, the Poland international is ‘looking for a team’ and his future will ‘finally be clear’ in January because he needs to play regular football in the second half of this campaign in order to represent his country at Euro 2020.
Milik’s agent has already been contacted by many clubs and he wants to ‘marry the best project from a sporting and economic point of view’.
The outlet talks about clubs in Italy and abroad who are ‘interested’ in the player. Tottenham get a mention when discussing ‘foreign clubs’, along with Sevilla and Atlético Madrid.
It’s claimed the clubs who ‘want’ to take Milik will have to ‘guarantee compensation to Napoli’ as the Italian side will want to cash in as much as possible in January rather than letting him leave as a free agent next summer.
José Mourinho has Harry Kane and Carlos Vinícius as the two recognised strikers in the squad, and Milik could struggle for regular playing time at Tottenham if he joins them in the winter market, although there is also the possibility of the Brazilian returning to Benfica in the summer since the clause to buy him is only optional.
