Tottenham linked with a move for Inter Milan star Arturo Vidal

Inter Milan’s Arturo Vidal is the player that Tottenham are reportedly looking at to bolster their midfield options.

The 34-year-old has been subject to interest from various European clubs.

He joined Inter from Barcelona on a free transfer in September 2020. His contract is due to expire at the end of the season.

Prior to joining Inter, Vidal spent time at Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus and Bayer Leverkusen.

The midfielder has banged in two goals and provided four assists in 24 matches this term on all fronts.

The 34-year-old is considered to be one of the best midfielders in Chile. His record for Chile is also impressive. Vidal has scored 32 goals in 131 matches for Chile at senior level.

Given that his contract is expiring soon and he has not yet signed an extension, the rumors have only heated up in recent weeks.

Antonio Conte wants to sign a new midfielder and Vidal is one of the names at the top of his wishlist. He is a firm fan of Inter midfielder and Tottenham could make a move for the player if the financial aspect makes sense.

The Spurs are desperate to make an impact in the summer transfer window.

The former Barcelona man will offer the Tottenham boss the freedom to be more flexible with his formations, tactics and team selections. He has the quality and the experience to make an immediate impact.

According to the report, “Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is eyeing Inter Milan veteran Arturo Vidal. El Deportivo says while there is the option of extending his contract for another season, Vidal is expected to leave on a free at the end of the campaign. Spurs manager Conte is monitoring his availability and will swoop to sign him in the coming months. The Italian coach has previously acquired the Chilean international while he was managing both Juventus and Inter. And it is not only Conte who would be a familiar face for Vidal in North London. Tottenham’s new director of football Fabio Paratici was at Juventus during the midfielder’s time at the club.”
