Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Dutch international defender Stefan De Vrij from Inter Milan.
The 30-year-old is one of the best defenders in the Italian league but could leave soon due to his contract situation.
The player’s contract is due to expire in the summer and the Italian team is now under pressure to sanction a January departure. The two parties have not yet been able to agree on a contract extension.
Selling the player during the winter transfer window would allow the Italian club to recoup some money for him and Tottenham are long-time admirers of the player.
Furthermore, Antonio Conte has worked with De Vrij during their time together at Inter Milan and knows everything about the Dutchman. Football Insider states that the Italian values De Vrij highly.

The experienced defender could prove to be a quality addition to the London club. Conte has had to rely on the likes of Davinson Sanchez, Eric Dier and Clement Lenglet this season, and they are prone to inconsistent performances.
De Vrij could be an excellent partner for Cristian Romero at the heart of Tottenham’s defense and Football Insider’s report claims he could cost just £10m.
There is no doubt that the reported asking price would be a bargain for a player of his quality and despite being 30 years old, the Dutchman looks fit enough to play at the highest level for a few more seasons.
