Tottenham just beat Chelsea, now they want to sign two former Blues stars in January

Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham have set their sights on two Serie A stars with Premier League experience as they aim to strengthen their squad in January.Tottenham Hotspur remain stacked in midfield this season, with eight recognised midfielders at the club.That depth has allowed Spurs to cope well with injuries and suspensions. Lucas Bergvall is out until 31 October, Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended, while James Maddison has endured his fair share of setbacks, yet Tottenham have still been able to call on a robust midfield unit.Defence, however, is one area that could be improved – particularly at right-back. Archie Gray has filled in during Pedro Porro’s absence, while Jan Paul van Hecke has also featured in that role. It now appears Spurs are eyeing extra depth in these positions.Photo by Jacques Feeney/Offside/Offside via Getty ImagesTottenham target Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Fikayo TomoriAccording to TeamTalk, Tottenham have set their sights on two AC Milan players – Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Fikayo Tomori.The Lilywhites are no strangers to signing talent from Serie A, having previously brought in Destiny Udogie, Guglielmo Vicario, Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski from the division.However, in the summer, their transfer strategy appeared to shift towards players with Premier League experience – something both Loftus-Cheek and Tomori possess, having featured extensively in England’s top flight.Spurs are not alone in their pursuit, with Newcastle United also said to have enquired about the pair.Milan duo could be available in January but Spurs face competitionSecuring the signatures of Loftus-Cheek and Tomori may not prove particularly difficult, with Milan understood to be open to parting ways with both players.Intermediaries are already working behind the scenes to identify possible destinations, and more notably, the contracts of the two Milan men are set to expire next summer – meaning the Serie A side are open to offloading them in the winter window.Chelsea are among the clubs interested in Tomori, joined by Manchester United, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Sunderland and Fulham, all of whom have made contact regarding the defender.Coventry City are also in the race, with Frank Lampard keen to reunite with the duo he worked with during his time at Chelsea, though a move remains unlikely.Meanwhile, Brentford and Nottingham Forest stand as rivals to Spurs in the chase for Loftus-Cheek. Both players are understood to be open to a return to the Premier League.READ MORE: Chelsea and Man City join Tottenham in £42m winter race for Nicolo TresoldiThe post Tottenham just beat Chelsea, now they want to sign two former Blues stars in January appeared first on Spurs Web.
