Report: Tottenham officials held ‘positive meeting’ with 26-yr-old’s entourage today
Tottenham have been linked with a move for the Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik this summer. According to Calciomercato, the 26-year-old striker’s entourage held talks with the officials of the London club earlier today and the discussions have been quite positive.

Tottenham will not have to pay for the striker this summer and Napoli will not lose the player on a free transfer next year. It will be interesting to see if the two parties can secure the agreement in the coming weeks now. Milik needs to join a club where he can play more often...
