Tottenham in contact with agent, take next signing step by sending club official

According to a claim in the Italian media Tottenham Hotspur will be present at the game between Atalanta and AC Milan tonight as they look ahead to the next transfer window.

TMW report Tottenham have sent a scout to Bergamo to get a lowdown on AC Milan pair Suso and Franck Kessie after being linked with both players in the Italian press.

The Italian football outlet say this will be the Premier League club’s second scouting mission for Kessie in recent weeks as they look to target the Ivory Coast international in the summer.

It’s claimed AC Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso doesn’t want to lose Kessie as he sees him as a key player in his team but landing the player is feasible for Tottenham, and it’s thought €40m would do the trick.

On Friday, we covered reports Tottenham have already contacted Kessie’s agent and that AC Milan could double their money on the midfielder if they sold him to the London club.
