Antonio Conte will persuade Inter midfielder Arturo Vidal to join his project at Tottenham in the summer, with the 34-year-old player open to the idea of a move to the Premier League.

That is according to Italian media outlet Calciomercato, who believe Spurs may need to outmuscle Aston Villa in their attempts to sign the Chilean. Vidal is available at a cut price, given his age and the fact Inter have suffered some financial trouble over the past 18 months. The player is said to be keen to work with Conte again, with the pair having won Serie A together in 2020/21.
