Spurs face Milan fight for Ranocchia

Italian side AC Milan will reportedly battle it out with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Everton in the race to sign Inter Milan defender Andrea Ranocchia.

The 27-year-old is thought to have made his mind up to leave Inter Milan in the winter transfer window.

Recent reports had cited that the talented centre-back could seek a move to the Premier League, with both Spurs and Toffees keen on his services.

However, Italian sources now claim that local rivals Milan could land the player's services on a short-term loan deal until the summer.

Ranocchia has made five league appearances for the Nerazzurri this term.
