Tottenham join fierce Premier League race for AC Milan defender rated lower than Van Hecke

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly among several Premier League clubs monitoring AC Milan centre-back Koni De Winter following his impressive Serie A performances. The 24-year-old Belgian defender has earned strong ratings across 10 league appearances this season, drawing attention from Spurs scouts despite Roberto De Zerbi currently having numerous central defensive options available.

Spurs reportedly face heavy competition, with scouts from Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Newcastle, Leeds United, and Brentford also watching De Winter. While the defender is reportedly not looking to force a permanent transfer away from Milan in January, he is considered a potential target in upcoming transfer windows.
