Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly set his sights on signing Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, it has been suggested that the Portuguese will only be able to make loan additions and sign free agents during the next transfer window.
However, according to Foot Mercato, Mourinho has identified Milinkovic-Savic as the ideal player for the centre of his midfield.
During his five years at Stadio Olimpico, the Serbia international has established himself as one of the most highly-regarded players in that position across Europe.
As a consequence of his progression, the 25-year-old is valued in excess of £50m, a figure allegedly out of Spurs' price range at this time.
Nevertheless, should Mourinho give the green light for a big-money sale, the money could be used to win the race for his signature.
