The summer silly season is well and truly in the mixer now, and the latest intelligence from GoalZaza has the Nerazzurri playing a particularly intriguing hand. Inter Milan, a club that has made a fine art of finding value in the most unexpected market corners, are now being linked with a double swoop that would add significant steel to Simone Inzaghi's backline. The headline grabber is a move for Tottenham Hotspur's forgotten man, Djed Spence. Spence, a player who tore up the Championship with Nottingham Forest but has since found himself frozen out in North London, represents exactly the kind of high risk, high reward profile that the Italian giants adore. He is raw, he is powerful, and his ability to bomb down the flank as a wing back fits the 3. 5. 2 system like a glove. Can he handle the tactical discipline demanded by Italian football That is the million dollar question. But if Inzaghi can get him tuned in, Inter might just be landing a serious weapon for the right flank.Yet the real statement in this whisper campaign is the alleged pursuit of Tottenham's Cristian Romero. Now this is a name that carries serious weight. Romero is a warrior, a centre half who reads the game like a book and defends with a snarling intensity that is rare in the modern game. For Inter to even sniff around a player of his calibre suggests a confidence that something might give at Spurs. The Rojiblanco defender would immediately become the dominant presence in that back three, offering leadership and a physical edge that could propel Inter back into deep Champions League contention. It would be a signing that sends shivers down the spine of every Serie A striker.Elsewhere, the English heavyweight clubs are circling. GoalZaza understands that Liverpool are leading the charge for the Japanese midfield sensation Kaishu Sano, a player whose box to box energy and eye for a pass could be tailor made for the pace of the Premier League. And over at the Emirates, Arsenal are keeping a very close eye on Aston Villa's Ezri Konsa, a defender who has quietly built a reputation for calm composure and excellent reading of the game. The Gunners need a reliable partner for William Saliba, and Konsa fits the bill. The board is set, the pieces are moving. Squeaky bum time is still months away, but the architects are already drawing up their plans.
