Pundit expects Tottenham to accept ‘£15m’ Japhet Tanganga bid after update
Alan Hutton has claimed Tottenham could sell Japhet Tanganga for £15million after AC Milan interest.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Spurs right-back suggested Antonio Conte will want Tanganga to move on this summer.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano (18 July), AC Milan are in talks with Spurs director Fabio Paratici over a potential move for the 23-year-old.
The defender has three years remaining on his contract with the London club.
He joined the club’s youth academy in 2015 and signed a professional deal in 2020.
When asked for his assessment of the latest, Hutton told Football Insider: “I liked him when he burst onto the scene at Tottenham.
“He was that rough and aggressive player and nobody really got past him. Can I see him fitting into that Antonio Conte way? Not really.
“It doesn’t surprise me that they’re going to move him on.
“I think that would be amazing move to got to AC Milan. To sample a different culture, play for one of the biggest teams in football, I think it would be a great move. You look at [Fikayo] Tomori who went there and he’s excelled as well.
“If [Cameron] Carter-Vickers went for £10million to Celtic, they probably see Tanganga as possibly a better all-round player therefore they would want more.
“We are talking £15m plus I would’ve thought and then try and reinvest it. It will be interesting to see what happens but I definitely think he’ll be one Conte will want to move on.”
