Negotiations are underway between AC Milan and Tottenham regarding defender Japhet Tanganga.
The youngster is not a priority for manager Antonio Conte at the London club this season.
According to Tuttosport, the Italian club are hopeful of securing him on a loan deal for this season.
Tanganga wants to go where he can play regularly, while Spurs are seeking to sell him permanently.
The club would ideally like a transfer that includes a buy-back option, but Milan will push for a loan with an option to buy.
There is no suggestion if an agreement between the two parties is near.
