Leeds United may have made life difficult for Tottenham in their effort to offload out-of-favour defender Japhet Tanganga to AC Milan. The Rossoneri are unable to shift their full focus onto concluding a deal for Tanganga until they nail down Leeds target Charles De Ketelaere, but negotiations for the Belgian are stuck due to the Whites' mammoth offer.

Leeds' interest in De Ketelaere was confirmed by manager Jesse Marsch last week and while their £31.5million bid met Club Brugge's valuation, the player himself favoured AC Milan. But the Whites have seemingly set a benchmark that the Italian side can't match, with £27.5m reportedly as high as they are prepared to go.
It remains to be seen whether the Belgian outfit will cave into the will of their young marksman, and while Milan are pouring all of their effort into hauling the deal over the line, Tanganga's move from Spurs has failed to progress.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the 23-year-old has 'promised himself' to Milan but is keen to see the deal done by the end of the week. Ultimately, Milan may have to pick their priority or take on the difficult challenge of spinning two plates at once.
