Who is Japhet Tanganga? Everything you need to know about the Spurs defender facing Liverpool - football.london

Japhet Tanganga to find 'total agreement' with AC Milan as Tottenham insist on two key clauses Everton are one of the clubs to have joined in the race for Tottenham Hotspur defender Japhet Tanganga, according to reports today.

The news comes from Italy, with outlet Inter Live claiming that as Inter Milan look for a defender, they’ve considered going after the Spurs player.

The problem is that Tanganga sounds more likely to stay in England, where Everton and Luton Town fight for his signing.

The newly promoted club are said to be leading the race, as they ‘push’ for a loan with an option to buy.

Everton are the other English side who ‘moved’ for his transfer, and Inter Live claims more news is ‘expected soon’.

Tanganga is not in Tottenham’s plans for the season, and hasn’t played a single minute in the first two rounds of the Premier League.

The defender has a contract with Spurs running until 2025, and is valued by Transfermarkt at €7m.

With Luton Town working for a loan with an option to buy, perhaps Everton could make a more convincing offer if they have the money for an outright purchase.

Fulham want to agree a player-swap deal with Tottenham Hotspur

RMC Sport reporter Fabrice Hawkins has revealed that Fulham boss Marco Silva wants to sign Eric Dier as part of the operation to sell Tosin Adarabioyo to Tottenham.

Dier has been left out of the matchday squads for the club’s first two games of the season, with Davinson Sanchez, who has been widely tipped to leave Tottenham (Pipe Sierra), now seemingly ahead of the England international in Ange Postecoglou’s pecking order.

Over the last week, several publications have insisted that Tottenham will try and move on the 29-year-old if they bring another centre-back through the door (Football Insider).

One of the central defenders rumoured to be Spurs’ radar is Adarabioyo, with some French publications indicating over the last couple of weeks that Monaco are in pole position to land the 25-year-old ahead of Spurs (Foot Mercato).

Adarabioyo wants Moncao move over Tottenham

Hawkins has now taken to social media to state that the Fulham man wants to move to the Louis II Stadium over N17, with the player already said to have agreed personal terms with the Ligue 1 side.

However, it is explained that Silva would prefer Adarabioyo to move to Spurs as he wants to bring Dier to Craven Cottage as a part of the deal.

I can see there being truth to this report as Silva knows Dier well from his time at Sporting, with the Portuguese coach taking over at the club just months before Dier joined Spurs.

It is also quite possible that Adarabioyo might be favouring a move to Monaco since he is not convinced he will get regular game time at Tottenham.
