AC Milan are looking at the possibility to sign Tottenham Hotspur’s Japhet Tanganga in the summer transfer window.

Sven Botman was the priority target for the Serie A winners, but he snubbed them to join Newcastle United from Lille.

The Dutchman’s decision to turn down the Rossoneri has seen the latter look for other options to strengthen the heart of their defence next season, which is where Antonio Conte’s man can fit it.

Tanganga has been on the sidelines with a knee injury since the start of February, but now that he’s back, he ‘wants to play continuously’, according to Sky Italia.

That may be difficult at the north London club, especially with Spurs closing in on a deal for Barcelona’s Clément Lenglet.

Stefano Pioli’s side, however, could be an option for the 23-year-old, and it’s claimed the Milan leaders have held a meeting with his agent, likely to discuss the options of Tanganga arriving at the San Siro this summer.

There could be more updates in the next few hours or days about the details of the meeting between the Italian champions and the Tottenham player’s representatives, and we’ll keep you in the loop as best we can.
