Arkadiusz Milik was earlier set to move to Serie A club Roma, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. However, the move looks to have collapsed, with Tottenham now interested in the 26-year-old Polish striker. Multiple publications covering Tottenham transfer news mentioned that the club is looking to bring in the striker on loan, due to his injury record and Napoli’s asking price. The Milik to Spurs move will set the club back by £25 million, which Tottenham aren't looking to pay. While the Milik to Spurs deal is still in its early stages, several reports have indicated that talks have begun between the two parties about a possible move.

However, the Skriniar to Spurs deal is in its infancy as well, with both clubs some way off when it comes to the defender’s valuation. Inter Milan value the defender at £55 million, while Tottenham are willing to pay just about half of the Serie A side’s asking price. It is believed that both the clubs are continuing to hold talks over a possible transfer, with Tottenham’s technical performance director Steve Hitchen pictured in Milan on Wednesday.
