Istanbul BB defender Martin Skrtel says Milan Skriniar should stay with Inter Milan.

Skriniar has been linked with Tottenham in a swap for Tanguy Ndombele.

But Slovakia teammate Skrtel says: “There are moments in life of every player where things go really well, but there are also moments where things don't go as planned. When this happens it is important for a player to react. Skriniar is going through something similar to this at Inter.

“In recent games he has lost his role as a starter and there is more and more talk about the fact that he could leave the club. There's been a poor run of form or maybe the coach prefers other players or he has different intentions tactically. It will be important to see how he will face it and what attitude he will have," he began an interview with Slovakian news outlet Sport Aktuality, which appeared in today's print edition.

“He is still young and, since his position has not been compromised so far, he should remain strong and fight for his recovery. Although there is the interest of English and Spanish clubs that do not leave any player indifferent, the best solution for him would be to stay at Inter, where he has built a great name for himself."
