Inter Milan pulls ahead of Tottenham in Serie A striker pursuit

Tottenham has several fronts open in the transfer market, and for the most part, as it couldn't be otherwise, they will compete with the top clubs in Europe to secure those signings. Let's talk about the signing that Spurs are vying for with Inter Milan.

Inter Milan seems to have stolen a march in the chase for Albert Gudmundsson, as per reports from CaughtOffside. They're now edging closer to sealing a deal for the Genoa dynamo, leaving Tottenham Hotspur trailing in their wake.

Gudmundsson's standout displays at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium haven't gone unnoticed, with speculation rife that he's destined for a bigger club this summer. Initial murmurs suggested Spurs were leading the charge to secure the services of the attacking midfielder.

Yet, recent chatter from Italian sources hinted at Inter Milan's concerns about Tottenham's financial muscle.

Now, CaughtOffside drops a bombshell, revealing that Inter Milan has made significant strides in their pursuit of Gudmundsson.

They've initiated talks with both the player and Genoa, inching closer to a preliminary agreement with the Icelandic sensation. Further negotiations are expected to put the finishing touches on what could be a blockbuster transfer.

While Tottenham remains in the mix for Gudmundsson, it seems Inter Milan holds the upper hand. Their bargaining position could receive a further boost from their interest in Mattia Zanotti. He might just be the sweetener needed to clinch the deal for the midfielder.

After missing out on Guglielmo Vicario to Tottenham last summer, Inter appears determined to avoid a repeat scenario with Gudmundsson.

They're laying the groundwork well in advance of the transfer window opening, keen to ensure they don't lose out on another prized target.

With the summer transfer saga heating up, it's a race against time for both clubs as they vie for the signature of one of Serie A's rising stars.
