Serie A giants plot £8m move for Tottenham ace
Tottenham Hotspur winger Aaron Lennon could leave the Premier League at the end of the season if Inter Milan persuade him to move to Serie A.
The Nerazzurri could be planning to start negotiations this week, as the team fly over to London to face Villas-Boas side in the last-sixteen tie of the Europa League on Thursday, the Daily Express claims.
Lennon, who signed a four-year extension to his contract last summer, has played an important role this season with Spurs, adding a new found consistency to his game.
Reports indicate Inter could be preparing an £8 million bid for the skilful midfielder, although it seems unlikely the sum will become decisive in order to determine whether the player will leave the club this summer.
With Tottenham keen on retaining the 25 year-old, everything indicates a top-four finish in the Premier League could prove vital to keep the winger at the club.
If the White Hart Lane squad fail to accomplish Champions League qualification, stars like Aaron Lennon or Real Madrid target Gareth Bale could be set to leave White Hart Lane in order to play in Europe’s Premier competition.

Even if Inter did want him, £8m for a 25 year old player who has just signed a new four year contract and is in the form of his life is just a non starter. The fact that you fished this out of the Daily Express doesn’t say much for your journalistic skills.

Hah, I was just gonna say that.
In the current market Lennon is worth 15-20 million.
This reeks of trying to unsettle Spurs, the day before the Europe League game, against… dun dun dun Inter.
