AC Milan target Axel Witsel has found himself another suitor in the form of Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur.
The Italian giants have been trying to wriggle the Belgian midfielder out of Zenit Saint Petersburg’s clutches all summer but are yet to find a solution.
And with the transfer window closing today in Italy, the Rossoneri are in a race against time to secure the signature of the 26-year-old midfielder.
