Merseyside club Everton have also made an inquiry.
Is there a Škriniar case at Inter?
"Maybe they want to sell him. To get to Kantè you need some exits. For me he is one of the strongest defenders around, but he found it difficult to three, like Godin."For Conte, Kantè would be the real purchase to change the balance and be the favorite . For him you need real money and for this you need an important exit. Škriniar could play in all Italian teams. Tottenham offers 30 million?"They do not accept it but such a sum has been paid out for Thiago Alcantara. Some figures now it is difficult to circulate."There will no longer be exorbitant figures, so they will have to lower their demands."
Moussa Sissoko has apologised after initially refusing to be a substitute in the weekend English Premier League game against Newcastle United.
Originally he was selected for the game but Pierre-Emile Højbjerg passed a late fitness test and midfielder Sissoko was moved to the bench by Mourinho.

Spurs have been in discussions with Valencia but it is reported in Spain that the Spanish club are struggling to match the fee we are asking for the Argentinian.
Fulham and Leeds United want him on loan, they have not offered £25m for him as is being falsely reported on Twitter, we would have snapped such an offer up.

Are Spurs interested in Luka Jović?
Tottenham discussed the possibility of signing Real Madrid forward Luka Jović during talks for Gareth Bale and Sergio Reguilón.Real Madrid were very realistic in transfer talks with Tottenham and accepted instalment payments for Reguilón rather than half up front as teams have been asking.
I have written about how transfer payments are constructed over the term of a contract and signing on fees before, you don't pay one lump sum upfront.
However, at the time Spurs decided not to buy Jović and he has been offered around Europe.
You will know that Dele has not changed his attitude yet and has been discussing PSG with Serge Aurier.
No serious talks have taken place between Spurs and PSG or PSG and Dele.
What's wrong with Dele Alli?
Dele is on £100,000-a-week, has no need of money and seems more interested in his image than being the best footballer that he can be.
It has happened to so many before him, he needs to find the passion, the fire again, not just trot along the same way he has been doing things for the last couple of years.
It has been made perfectly clear he is lazy in training, just does what he needs to, doesn't push himself, that isn't the attitude of someone trying to improve.
As mentioned before, unless we receive £70m he won't be sold, but a loan deal is very difficult.
Conversion as of 28/09/2020
£70m
€76.68m
US$89.94m
He earns £5.2m per year so a one-season loan deal will probably cost a club at least £10m for the fee and his wages.
Conversion as of 28/09/2020
£10m
€10.95m
US$12.85m
Now I'm going to throw something out there.
If you look through the Tottenham squad, there are few players you can sell who are going to raise any significant money.
We tried to sell Tanguy Ndombélé and couldn't and apart from Harry Kane, Dele is the only player we could sell who could raise a significant amount of money.
Has José decided he can be sacrificed?
If he tries to push him out he will either buck his ideas up, which is a win for Spurs or raise money for rebuilding.
Look at last night's fighting victory versus Chelsea.
Spurs makeshift team was overrun in the first half but José changed things at half time.
Both managers agreed that Spurs pressed higher and with more intensity after the break and Chelsea couldn't handle it.
Now, remember Dele in the last Europa League tie closing players down from the front in a half hearted, I can't be bothered, I don't want to be doing this manner?
Therein lies the nub of the problem.
He is still lazy and seems to think he can play on talent alone.
He seems to think he can just walk onto a pitch and use the skill he has while everyone around him is trying to improve and implement what Mourinho is asking of them, he doesn't appear to be.
The fact that he has been dropped by England coach Gareth Southgate speaks volumes and he will have to buck his ideas up if he is to make the European Championships.
mentioning that display versus Chelsea, let's end on that positive note,high praise for every player, praise for Sergio Reguilón who made a mistake for the goal and assisted in our goal, he looks a useful recruit.
A win, a smile, another game.
Happy Wednesday folks.
