According to Sport.PL, Tottenham interest in Krzysztof Piątek could not be more real, and this week José Mourinho and the AC Milan striker had a video call in order to assess personality and personal goals etc.
The talk of a possible loan deal was mentioned here, with the figure of £10million suggested as the amount to cover a year long stay in London for the 24-year-old. The piece concludes with the speculation that Piatek is 5th in the pecking order of coach Stefano Pioli, and that if AC Milan cannot get the €30million they would ideally like, then a loan with an option to buy could be agreeable.
As mentioned previously, this business of loaning players is a welcoming softening of Daniel Levy’s approach, perhaps acknowledging the massive limitations of buying youth prospects and hoping that “some of them” come good.
Tottenham need a striker, and neither Gedson Fernandes nor Steven Bergwijn are to be confused with one.
