The Ivorian has been criticised from some parts this season (h/t Calciomercato). The 22-year-old spoke to SportMediaSet (h/t Calciomercato), shutting down rumours of a move to the Premier League.

The Ivorian claimed he was happy to play against his former club and said that he would not celebrate against them too.

“The rumors about Chelsea and Tottenham? I have 5 years of contract and I’m happy at Milan. There’s a great coach who’s doing things well, with all of us, with all the players. to return to the Champions League and I want to keep on growing it.”

Tottenham need to make signings next season

Spurs haven’t made any signings in two transfer windows, and it will be interesting to see our activity in the summer.

Tottenham also sold Mousa Dembele in the winter window and we must add a few players in the summer window, failing which it would be difficult to challenge for the title next season.
