Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing 30-year-old Croatian midfielder Marcelo Brozovic from Serie A giants Inter Milan.

According to a report via Fichajes, Marcelo Brozovic is one of the four players Antonio Conte wants to strengthen the Tottenham Hotspur squad. Some of the other players linked with a move to Spurs are Josko Gvardiol, Memphis Depay, and Weston McKennie.

Marcelo Brozovic has been an excellent servant for Inter Milan over the years. And Antonio Conte knows all about him, having worked with the 30-year-old midfielder during their time together at the Serie A club. It will be interesting to see if Spurs can agree on a deal with Inter for their star midfielder.

Currently, Tottenham are reliant on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur as their first-choice midfielders. They signed Yves Bissouma from Brighton & Hove Albion during the summer transfer window. But the Malian midfielder has not been able to hold down a regular starting berth so far at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Conte has had to overuse Hojbjerg and Bentancur so far because of the lack of depth in that position. The arrival of Brozovic would thus allow the north London club to rotate their squad more often and keep the players fresh for the big games.

Brozovic is a seasoned campaigner, and he should be able to settle into the Premier League with ease and make an immediate impact. The 30-year-old will also have seen former Inter Milan teammate bed in seamlessly since arriving from the Serie A club.

The Croatian international is calm and composed on the ball and will help Tottenham recycle possession and break up play. Brozovic will shield the centre-backs as well. The player has a contract with Inter Milan until the summer of 2026, and it will be interesting to see if the Italian club decide to demand a premium for his services.

The Croatian international is currently 30 years old and has a few years left at the top level. Tottenham are unlikely to pay over the odds for his services in the summer. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few months. Meanwhile, some of the other targets for Tottenham are Memphis Depay, Josko Gvardiol, and Weston McKennie.
