# Tottenham Hotspur: Inter Milan defender Danilo D’Ambrosio tipped for January Spurs move

**Writing for [football.london](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/news/january-transfer-window-tottenham-news-19284076), journalist Colin Millar has tipped Inter Milan defender Danilo D’Ambrosio as a viable option for Spurs as the January transfer window looms – especially with the Italian out of contract at the end of this season.**

D’Ambrosio, who once ignited ex-Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino’s interest, with the Argentine fan favourite reportedly[eyeing a swoop back in 2015](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/594922/Tottenham-Transfer-News-Inter-Villa-Adebayor-Sol-Campbell-Arsenal-regrets), could now be an option for new manager Jose Mourinho as he looks to strengthen his squad further.

### D’Ambrosio back on Spurs radar?

The 32-year-old could leave as a free agent at the end of 2020/2021, potentially heaping pressure on the Nerazzurri to sell for a cheap fee in the winter window if he does not put pen to paper on an extension.

Millar, writing for football.london, claims this could alert Daniel Levy and co to a bargain defensive option who can play in a variety of positions – with the Italy international attracting praise for his showings as of late.

Football Italia chief correspondent Richard Hall waxed lyrical over his ‘[incredible](https://twitter.com/richhall80/status/1326617510561665026?s=21)‘ defending, and D’Amborosio has also impressed by the numbers at club level when given the chance.

Despite starting just three Serie A games so far under Antonio Conte, in that time, he has averaged an impressive 92% pass accuracy out from defence ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/64271/Show/Danilo-D-Ambrosio)) – displaying a cool and composed head which could entice Mourinho.

### Transfer Tavern take

The Spurs boss is currently stacked at right-back with Serge Aurier and Matt Doherty, but D’Ambrosio’s tactical versatility could prove useful given he is comfortable both on the left and even at centre-back.

If Tottenham fail with another January approach for Milan Skriniar, perhaps Inter’s less star-studded defender could be a sound alternative.
