Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in talks to sign Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar this summer as Daniel Levy looks to bring a replacement for Jan Vertonghen to the club after the Belgian’s exit – and many Inter Milan fans have responded.

Vertonghen’s contract expired earlier this summer and he left the club to join Benfica on a free transfer, signing a three-year contract with the Portuguese club. But it has left a hole in Tottenham’s side, one that is yet to be filled.

Spurs are set to embark on a Europa League campaign and clubs are required to have big squads if they are to remain competitive in the competition – while also doing well in the Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.

Another central defender to rival Japhet Tanganga, Toby Alderweireld, Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez is required, then. Sky Italy journalist Gianluca Di Marzio has claimed that Spurs have opened talks to land Skriniar this summer.

It is believed the Slovakia international would cost a whopping £55million, though Levy is keen to reduce that asking price in negotiations. Italian outlet Sempre Inter have claimed that Skriniar earns around £53,000 a week.

Inter Milan fans have reacted on Twitter to the reported news that Tottenham are in talks for the Slovakia international, and while some are desperate to keep him – others suggest he needs to go. Some have even suggested a swap deal.
