Tottenham are eyeing up a January move for AC Milan attacking sensation Noah Okafor.
Tottenham significantly bolstered their attack in the summer as they extended the stay of Timo Werner and signed Dominic Solanke and Wilson Odobert. But they haven’t had an ideal start to the new season with just one win in three Premier League outings. Spurs are now considering bringing in further reinforcements in the winter and according to Milan Live, the North London club are looking to step up their pursuit for the services of Noah Okafor.
After making a name for himself at Red Bull Salzburg, the 24-year-old Swiss winger made the move to AC Milan last summer. He has featured in 39 matches for the Italian giants and has contributed towards 10 goals.
While Okafor is an exciting talent who can feature anywhere in attack, the arrival of Alvaro Morata has seen him go down the pecking order at Milan and Spurs are looking to prise him away in the winter.
With Ange Postecoglou at the helm, the North London club want to reinforce their attack and they feel the versatile Swiss international could be an ideal fit for their system. They are reportedly willing to table an offer worth around £17 million, making it quite clear that they are very serious about adding Okafor to their squad.
Milan could see this as an opportunity to book a profit of around £5 million and reinvest the money raised to bring in a player who is a better fit in their system. Spurs are eager to get the deal over the line as they feel the 24-year-old’s versatility could give them the much-needed depth to be competitive in all competitions.
