AC Milan are ready to make an ambitious January bid for Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Jan Vertonghen.
The 27 year-old is out of favour at Spurs under coach Mauricio Pochettino starting five Premier league games this season.
According to Calciomercato.com, the Belgian could entertain an offer from the Rossoneri in the January window.
Milan are still looking to reinforce their defence and see the former Ajax captain as an ideal defensive recruitment.
Pressure from the Belgian national team to find first team football could help force through a transfer to Italy.
