Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to sign the Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi before the January transfer window closes.

According to a report from Inter Live, the midfielder is valued at around €45-50 million. Meanwhile, TV Play claims Tottenham are ready to pay €32 million (£27m) in order to sign the player this month.

It will be interesting to see if the Italian outfit are prepared to sanction his departure and accept the offer from Tottenham. Clubs like Napoli and AS Roma are keen on signing the midfielder as well, but they will not be able to match Inter Milan’s asking price. Therefore, Tottenham are currently leading the race to sign the player.

The report further states that the midfielder would prefer a move to Roma this month, but he would be keen on a move to Tottenham as well. The player is reportedly ready to pack his bags and move to the Premier League if the two clubs can agree on a deal.

The 25-year-old has the tools to develop into a complete central midfielder for Tottenham. He will help control the game from the middle of the park and contribute defensively as well. The midfielder has struggled for regular game time at Inter Milan and he needs a fresh start. A move to the Premier League would be ideal for him. Tottenham could provide him with the opportunity to showcase his qualities regularly in the Premier League. Ample game time in England could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his tremendous potential.

Meanwhile, Spurs need more depth and quality in the middle of the park if they want to do well during the second half of the campaign. They will be hoping to secure Europe qualification, and the Italian international midfielder could certainly help their cause.
