Tottenham Hotspur are looking to improve their defensive options in January and Inter Milan defender Denzel Dumfries remains on their radar.
According to a report by the journalist Rudy Galetti, Inter Milan would be willing to negotiate the transfer of the Dutch international defender for an offer of more than 30 million euros.
The 26-year-old has been a key player for Inter Milan since joining the club and also managed to impress for the Netherlands during the World Cup.
Dumfries is at the peak of his career and could make an immediate impact at Tottenham if he joins the club next month.
The right-back position has been a big concern for Tottenham this season, with the likes of Emerson Royal and Matt Doherty failing to impress consistently. Also, summer signing Djed Spence has failed to earn the trust of manager Antonio Conte. It will be interesting to see if Spurs can address their wing-back problems with the signing of Dumfries in the coming weeks.
