The transfer mill is churning once again, with Tottenham believed to be lining up a move for Koni De Winter, the defender from Milan. Sources close to the club suggest they are exploring options to reinforce their squad ahead of the run-in. Tottenham remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Newcastle and Manchester United continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. Tottenham's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.1 goals per game (11 in 10). Koni De Winter would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Milan have also been linked with Yasin Abbas Ayari and Bruno Fernandes while Tottenham are reportedly monitoring Agustin Giay, Gustavo Varela and Orri Oskarsson. Want more transfer rumours like this?
