Tottenham 'cleared to sign Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar for £45m in January' because the Serie A giants 'need money' after failing to agree a fee last summer as Jose Mourinho looks to bolster his defensive options

Tottenham can sign Inter Milan centre-back Milan Skriniar in January if they submit an offer of £45million, according to reports in Italy.

The Premier League leaders were in talks with Inter over a deal for the Slovakian defender in the summer but were unable to agree on a fee, with club chief Piero Ausilio stressing he was not for sale.

But Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Spurs will be able to land their man should they put a new tempting offer on the table when the transfer window opens, saying that Inter are in need of funds after being hit hard by the pandemic.
