Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly ready to outbid Valencia for the signing of Inter Milan's Geoffrey Kondogbia, according to ESPN (h/t Calciomercato).
Kondogbia is already on loan at Los Che, with the team second in La Liga prepared to pay €25 million to make the deal a permanent one, per Superdeporte (h/t Calciomercato).
It would make sense for Spurs to pay more for the combative midfielder. Kondogbia is a player whose height, power and technique would offer Tottenham an upgrade on Victor Wanyama.
Signing Kondogbia would also leave Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino free to drop nominal holding midfielder Eric Dier back into defence.
