AC Milan have expressed an interested in making a loan move for Tottenham defender Japhet Tanganga.
It is believed that Tanganga, who has started 15 games in all competitions this season, has concerns about his game time once Eric Dier and Christian Romero return from injury.
Tanganga’s last Premier League appearance came in the 3-0 win against Crystal Palace on Boxing Day, with the Englishman an unused substitute in the 1-1 draw at Southampton on December 28 and for the narrow victory over Watford on New Year’s Day.
Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte says he has been surprised to see Premier League games being postponed because of the number of injured players at clubs.
The 22-year-old played the full 90 minutes in both legs of Tottenham’s EFL Cup loss to Chelsea this month, along with their 3-1 victory against League One Morecambe in the third round of the FA Cup.
Milan currently sit second in Serie A after their 2-1 loss at home to Spezia on Monday, two points behind city rivals Inter having played a game more.

Tottenham, Arsenal and Leeds are among a number of clubs in England and abroad who have an interest in Middlesbrough’s Djed Spence.
Antonio Conte is keen to strengthen his options at wing-back, and the club have made the position a priority in this window.
Arsenal have primarily used Takehiro Tomiyasu at right-back this season, but his understudies Cedric Soares and Calum Chambers could both be set to leave the club.
