De Zerbi targets Leao in Tottenham's multi-player attacking search

Tottenham Hotspur have held informal discussions with AC Milan regarding Rafael Leao as Roberto De Zerbi targets attacking reinforcement. Leao features on a three-player shortlist that also includes Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi (valued at €93 million) and Manchester City's Savinho. De Zerbi's interest in left-sided attacking talent suggests further investment beyond the £237 million already committed. Tottenham's total summer spend could approach €400 million (£350 million) if another starting-quality winger is secured. Kroupi represents the preferred option per UK reports, but Leao's Milan pedigree and Champions League experience appeal to Tottenham's ambitions. Leao's Milan contract expires at season's end; renewal talks have stalled, creating potential opening for interested parties. Informal exploratory discussions with Milan do not constitute concrete offer stage, but signal Spurs' serious intent to solve left-wing depth.
