Tottenham Hotspur linked with sensational move for Portugal star

A summer of change is in full swing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with six signings already confirmed, and there is no end in sight as Spurs are being linked with another huge move.

Following the acquisition of Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Andrew Robertson and Martin Dubravka, the London club are over halfway to building a brand new starting eleven.

Now, Roberto de Zerbi is looking to make AC Milan and Portugal ace Rafael Leao their seventh signing of the transfer window, according to Graeme Bailey at TEAMTalk.

It's no secret that Leao is seeking a move away from Milan, and that has alerted a host of clubs across the continent and beyond.

His representatives have been travelling Europe speaking to clubs such as Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal and now Spurs, as well as going further afield to visit Saudi Pro League teams.

It appears that their meeting with the Lilywhites has sparked some interest.

Leao has been at Milan since signing from Lille in 2019 for a fee of around €35m and has featured 291 times for the Italian club, notching 80 goals and 65 assists.

The Portuguese winger is expected to cost around €60m, with personal terms unlikely to be an issue.

Italian journalist Daniele Longo spoke on his YouTube channel about how Leao's desire is to play in the Premier League and he views Tottenham as a "welcome destination" despite the club having no European football next term.

I Rossoneri's acquisition of Goncalo Ramos will only help De Zerbi's men in their pursuit, with cover for the winger's departure already sorted.
