Sunday's Tottenham Hotspur transfer talk news roundup: Milan Skriniar, Demarai Gray, Harvey Barnes

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Tottenham on Sunday, September 27.

The summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Tottenham Hotspur eye possible reinforcements.

Spurs were among the biggest spenders during the January transfer window but are expected to be active again in the summer as Jose Mourinho continues to mould his squad.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Sunday morning's Tottenham Hotspur transfer talk news roundup:


Inter Milan confirm Milan Skriniar, Tottenham Hotspur meeting

Inter Milan sporting director Piero Ausilio has revealed that talks did take place with Tottenham Hotspur regarding defender Milan Skriniar.

With Jose Mourinho supposedly looking to shore up his backline before the transfer window closes, Skriniar has been tipped to make the switch to North London.

The 25-year-old has established himself as a key player at Inter under Antonio Conte - making 42 appearances across all competitions last term - and Ausilio has revealed that a hands-off warning was issued to Spurs in a meeting with the Lilywhites.

Speaking to DAZN, Ausilio said: "I will not confirm any negotiations for Skriniar. There was a meeting with Tottenham, that is true, but we simply reiterated that Skriniar is not on the transfer market.

"We've already released Diego Godin from the defence and cannot think of losing Skriniar too."

Skriniar is under contract at I Nerazzurri until 2023, and the Slovakia international was an unused substitute in Inter's 4-3 victory over Fiorentina on Saturday evening.



Tottenham Hotspur 'handed boost in Demarai Gray pursuit'

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been given the green light to move for Leicester City forward Demarai Gray.

With the 24-year-old struggling for starts over the likes of Harvey Barnes and Ayoze Perez at the King Power Stadium, Gray has been linked with a move elsewhere in recent weeks.

Tottenham, who recently welcomed Gareth Bale back to the club on a season-long loan from Real Madrid, have been previously credited with an interest in Gray, who will see his current deal at Leicester expire next summer.

According to Football Insider, Gray is edging closer towards the exit door at the King Power Stadium after refusing Leicester's most recent offer of a new contract.

The report claims that Tottenham have been monitoring the £20m-rated forward for a while and former manager Mauricio Pochettino was a strong admirer of the Englishman, although Spurs may be willing to wait until next summer to sign Gray as a free agent.

The former England Under-21 international has amassed 13 goals from 167 appearances for the Foxes since his arrival in 2016.
