Antonio Conte has urged Tottenham to make a push to sign Inter Milan defender Stefan de Vrij when the January transfer window opens, according to Football Insider.
The Italian has allegedly identified his prime candidate to come in at centre-back for Tottenham after engaging in discussions with managing director of football, Fabio Paratici.
The report claims De Vrij, 29, has been named as a top target for Spurs and could be ‘lured’ over to North London from Italy.
It adds that Paratici is convinced a deal can be struck for the Netherlands international in January, especially given the fact that he and Conte worked together for two seasons at Inter.
De Vrij established himself as a regular in Conte’s defence playing 32 games in the side which eased to the Serie A title last season.
Capped on 54 occasions for the Netherlands, the centre-back is still contracted with Inter until the end of June 2023.
Spurs Web Opinion
De Vrij is a very solid option to have in defence, especially if Conte reverts Spurs into a formation with a three-man defence.
He will likely cost a fair bit still considering he is a mainstay in the Inter defence, but no doubt if Paratici is on the case he would be able to sort something out.
