Tottenham have been linked with a double swoop on Lazio with Thomas Strakosha and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic said to be wanted by Jose Mourinho.
As noted by Calciomercato, via the paper edition of Tuttosport, it’s suggested that the Spurs boss has identified Strakosha as a long-term replacement for stalwart Hugo Lloris.
Further, in a bid to improve his midfield options, Mourinho is also keen on Milinkovic-Savic, who has been a key figure in Lazio’s push for the Serie A title this season and a stand-out player for some time.
The 25-year-old Serbian international has now scored 36 goals and provided 26 assists in 194 appearances for the Biancocelesti, and has established himself as one of the top players in Europe.
With that in mind, based on the tweets below from some Tottenham fans, they are particularly eager on the idea of prising him away from the Stadio Olimpico and taking him to north London this summer.
Much will perhaps depend on if the season is completed and whether or not Lazio go on to secure a shock Scudetto triumph, while Spurs will continue to chase down a Champions League qualification spot if the campaign resumes.
In turn, Milinkovic-Savic will have a possible decision to make if Tottenham make a bid, but the feeling among the fans below is that they want the midfielder to arrive, although some will perhaps be a little more pessimistic about their chances of landing his signature.
Why do some people still think Winks is good enough to play for Spurs. He isnt. That goes for a few others. Not if we really want to be a top side again. Gilmour at Chelsea a much better player.
Silly season started early this year.
More spin from the Spurs PR machine. We might buy the boy Eze from QPR for 20 mill or less, but the Savic rumour is laughable. He could play for any team in the world but it won’t be Spurs.
Savic will not be coming ,he’s so far out of our range financially.Strakosha could be a goer,apparently well rated although I have seen nothing of him.These two supposed options are so at opposing ends of attainability that you have to wonder who comes up with these ideas.Fantasy football at it’s best.
