Tottenham have ‘made it known’ defender can leave on loan with buying option

Following the arrival of Micky van de Ven at Tottenham, a centre-back is going to have to leave the club, and that man could be Japhet Tanganga.

Already used very sporadically last season, the 24-year-old needs to play more, and a move away, even if temporary, could do him the world of good.

The Tottenham player has a number of teams interested in his services, among which are Inter Milan, as reported by Sky Italia on Tuesday, relayed by FC Inter News.

They state that Tanganga’s name is ‘back in fashion’ over at San Siro, as the Serie A side have ‘expressed an interest’ in the defender, whom they describe as an old target.

That being said, they have yet to ‘open negotiations’ with Tottenham, who have ‘made it known’ to the Italians that they would be ‘willing to loan him out with the right of redemption’.

It’s worth pointing out that the 24-year-old has only ever played for Spurs in his career, having joined them at the age of 10, so moving away from the Premier League side would be a huge step and change for him.
