# Tottenham Hotspur: Fans gush over Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as transfer news emerges

**Tottenham Hotspur have joined the race to sign Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to Calciomercato via [Ricky Sacks](https://twitter.com/RickSpur).**

Milinkovic-Savic has put in a string of impressive performances for Lazio in recent years and his heroics have caught the attention of a number of major European clubs.

Ever since he arrived at the Stadio Olimpico from Genk for [£16.2m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergej-milinkovic-savic/profil/spieler/266302), the 25-year-old has established himself as arguably one of the [best](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2762109-cutting-through-the-sergej-milinkovic-savic-hype-is-he-worth-eur150m) midfielders in the world, playing in 25 games in the Serie A this season, scoring 4 goals, creating 4 assists, taking 2 shots per game, averaging 1.2 key passes, and successfully completing at least 1 dribble on average (via [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/288767/Show/Sergej-Milinkovic-Savic)).

Football reporter Ricky Sacks [tweeted](https://twitter.com/RickSpur/status/1259468866457124866) the news on social media, writing “\[CalcioMercato\] | Tottenham Hotspur have joined the hunt to sign Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. The midfielder has again been in impressive form for Lazio during the 2019-20 campaign, scoring five times and contributing seven assists in 31 appearances in all competitions.”

Although Spurs are keen to bring Milinkovic-Savic to North London, Chelsea and Manchester United are long-time admirers of the Serbia international, and Jose Mourinho will have [limited funds](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/jose-mourinho-tottenham-transfer-plan-18202683) to work with in the upcoming transfer window.

The Biancocelesti have made it clear they will let the Serbian leave, but only if [the price is right](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/tottenham-transfer-news-milinkovic-savic-18228745). His market value is priced at £57.6m via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergej-milinkovic-savic/profil/spieler/266302). Therefore, it is unlikely Daniel Levy will splash the cash, given the current economic uncertainty as a result of the ongoing pandemic.

Regardless, many Spurs fans gushed over the journalist’s “superb” transfer update, with one supporter dubbing Milinkovic-Savic as “the perfect signing,” and another adding he is “Dembele-esque.”
