Tottenham could have been presented with a perfect transfer opportunity by AC Milan.
Tottenham could be tempted to reignite their interest in former Eintracht Frankfurt star Daichi Kamada knowing that the path has been cleared for them to sign the playmaker on a free transfer. AC Milan had previously agreed on a deal to sign the midfielder, but they have now turned their attention to alternative targets.
Spurs have already been busy in the transfer window this summer, welcoming the arrivals of Guglielmo Vicario, James Maddison and Manor Solomon – with Dejan Kulusevski’s loan spell also joining the club permanently.
However, newly-appointed manager Ange Postecoglou is keen to continue adding quality to his ranks whilst the window remains open – with further quality in defence high on the shopping list. Though adding a sprinkling of further attacking talent to the squad certainly should not be discounted, especially given the ever-changing nature of the market.
Tottenham are long-term admirers of Japan international Kamada, who became a free agent recently, and the ex-Sagan Tosu star’s situation is likely to be one that they are monitoring. AC Milan were previously in pole position to acquire the services of the 26-year-old, but Fabrizio Romano reports that the Serie A outfit are now working on a deal to sign Samuel Chukwueze from Villarreal instead.
Roma were also battling it out with Milan for Kamada previously, though reports in Italy have now speculated that Jose Mourinho’s side have also cooled their interest. Given that the midfielder scored nine and assisted six in 32 Bundesliga appearances, he won’t be short of interest.
Though the two Serie A outfits dropping away could present Tottenham with the prime opportunity to return with a firm offer, having sounded out their interest previously. Spurs have lacked a creative presence in midfield for several years and finally looked to have plugged that hole in their squad with Maddison, but further depth in a role that is critical in Postecoglou’s system should not be overlooked.
