Tottenham in talks with Serie A club about January loan for highly-rated starlet

A Serie A club are now locked in talks over a deal for a Tottenham Hotspur youngster, who is yet to feature under Thomas Frank.

Apart from Brennan Johnson’s high-profile sale to Crystal Palace, the Lilywhites have also pushed through a couple of loan deals in the first week of the transfer window.

Kota Takai has joined Borussia Monchengladbach on loan for the second half of the season, with the Japanese defender leaving Spurs without making a single appearance for the club.
