Inter and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly both looking to secure the signature of Zenit St Petersburg defender Domenico Criscito.

The 26 year old Italian international has been long linked with a return to Serie A, and it seems that Walter Mazzarri believes that now may be the time to bring the versatile wingback to the San Siro.

According to Russian website sports.ru, that the Nerazzurri will have stiff competition from Premier League giants Tottenham, fresh off of their world record transfer sale of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid for a alleged fee of €100million.

Spurs head coach Andre Villas Boas is known to have scouted Criscito during the summer, but with Indonesian billionaire Erick Thohir close to securing Massimo Moratti’s 75% stake in the Milan club it is expected that that the three time Champions League winners will be a major force in the January transfer window – meaning that the former Juventus player could be coming home rather than gracing the Premier League.

Criscito has appeared for the Italian national team on 20 occasions, scoring four goals.
