# Tottenham: Di Marzio drops Japhet Tanganga exit news

**The agent of [Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) defender Japhet Tanganga is set to be in Milan for talks in the ‘next few hours’, claims Sky Sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.**

### **The Lowdown: Tanganga’s place at Spurs**

The 23-year-old has struggled to nail down a place in the Lilywhites’ starting XI, having been in-and-out of the team after breaking through under Jose Mourinho.

In the opening 23 game-weeks of the 2021/22 [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) campaign, the centre-back made 11 appearances, often in various positions. However, he then suffered from a serious knee injury, keeping him out of action [until the end of the season.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/japhet-tanganga/leistungsdaten/spieler/346478/plus/0?saison=2021)

As a result, his future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium remains up in the air, with a number of exit rumours doing the rounds this ummer.

### **The Latest: Di Marzio’s news**

Tanganga has recently been [linked](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11025917/Tottenham-director-flies-Italy-discuss-potential-AC-Milan-defender-Japhet-Tanganga.html) with loan moves to Serie A giants AC Milan and also to newly promoted Premier League outfit Bournemouth.

Building on this, Di Marzio has now shared the latest news regarding the Spurs player’s future. Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/DiMarzio/status/1549289486785433601), the journalist claimed: “Tanganga agent in Milan in the next few hours.”

### **The Verdict: Good move for him**

Following the loan arrival of [Clement Lenglet](https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2022/july/lenglet-arrives-on-loan/) from Barcelona, the 23-year-old has fallen even further down Antonio Conte’s pecking order.

Therefore, if the defender is keen to receive regular first-team minutes in hope of an England call-up, a move away from N17 would be the best move for his career.

He could then follow in the steps of [Fikayo Tomori](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fikayo-tomori/leistungsdaten/spieler/303254/plus/0?saison=2021), who has seriously impressed in Italy since his Milan switch in 2021.

Previously described as a [‘really special’](https://thisisfutbol.com/2021/08/blogs/premier-league/tottenham-hotspur/tottenham-hotspur-gary-neville-praises-japhet-tangangas-performance/) player by Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville, it would be a waste to see Tanganga sit on Spurs’ bench week in, week-out, making this a good move for the youngster.
