Having been previously linked with Milan, Inter and Atalanta, Tottenham defender Japhet Tanganga is reportedly in talks with newly-promoted Serie A side Parma.
The 25-year-old centre-back had been suggested as a reinforcement for several Italian clubs over the past couple of seasons, only to be put off by the demands made by Spurs.
Now he will be a free agent, as his contract with Tottenham is set to expire on June 30.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Tanganga’s representatives had a meeting with the directors of Parma, but he is not considered a priority for them.
Parma ask after Tanganga
Also able to play at right-back, the Tottenham youth academy product had loan spells with FC Augsburg and Millwall last season.
He made 18 appearances in the English Championship, scoring two goals, and struggled with a knee injury in August 2023 that kept him out for three months.
Parma were just promoted as the winners of the Serie B title and their coach is Fabio Pecchia.
At 25, this guy has only played 45 league games in his entire career. That’s less than 8 league games per season since breaking into spurs first team. Not good enough for Millwall but errr ‘heavily linked with milan, inter and Atalanta‘….OK.
