Japhet Tanganga has 'only one decision' after journalist's update - Tottenham expert

Paul Robinson is adamant AC Milan will win the race to Tottenham defender Japhet Tanganga’s signature this summer.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Spurs and England number one said “there is only one decision to make” when a club of that stature is interested.

Tanganga, 23, struggled for game time in the 2021-22 campaign.

According to The Athletic‘s Charlie Eccleshare (8 July), Bournemouth are in talks to sign the versatile defender on loan.

AC Milan and Napoli are also said to be monitoring the situation.

When asked by Football Insider for his assessment of Tanganga’s future, Robinson said: “Listen, the Premier League is a fantastic place to play football but when you are comparing Bournemouth and AC Milan there is no competition.

“From a young player’s point of view, the experience he will get in the Champions League would be invaluable. The experience of playing on the continent would be invaluable.

“I think he still has a lot to give to Spurs though. He is a top-class defender and I like his attitude. I like the way he goes about his business.

“He has not played regularly but when he has played he has been reliable. I think he has a lot to offer Spurs in the long-run.

“A loan move, whether that be in the Premier League or Serie A will do him the world of good. There is only one decision to make if AC Milan are interested.”
