Tottenham Hotspur 'join the race for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic'

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly joined the hunt for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

The 25-year-old has again been in impressive form for his Italian club during the 2019-20 campaign, scoring five times and contributing seven assists in 31 appearances in all competitions.

Chelsea and Manchester United have recently been linked with a move for the midfielder, who has a contract at Stadio Olimpico until the end of the 2023-24 season.

However, according to Calciomercato, Tottenham are also exploring the possibility of signing the Serbia international when this summer's transfer window opens for business.

Lazio sporting director Igli Tare recently claimed that Milinkovic-Savic will be free to leave the club this summer if he wishes, although the Serie A outfit are thought to value him in the region of £80m.

Spurs are also believed to be weighing up a move for Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
