Spurs resurrect move for Madrid midfielder but face competition
15 June at 13:00
Tottenham Hotspur are set to resurrect their interest in Real Madrid midfielder Mateo Kovacic this summer, according to Football London.
The north-London side were previously linked with the playmaker - who was known as the next Luka Modric during his time with Dinamo Zagreb and Inter Milan - but he made a move to the Bernabéu for a sizable £27.5m in 2015.
Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has made use of the 23-year-old last season, utilising him as a secondary option to be alongside fellow Croatian Modric.
But the midfielder has not been impressed with his lack of game time – especially with the World Cup next year not too far away - and is reportedly keen on making a move out of the club.
Reports now indicate that Arsenal, AC Milan and his former club Inter Milan are all keen on the former Dinamo man, with Spurs only making a move for Kovacic if they feel they could lose Dele Alli.
