Gotta love SKY’s Lyall Thomas.
Tottenham have cooled their interest in Juan Foyth because manager Mauricio Pochettino believes Estudiantes are asking for too much for the Argentina U20 defender.
Now look Lyall, we all know you have to keep the Press Officer at Spurs onside, but this is straightforwardly dishonest stuff you’re peddling here. Are you genuinely suggesting that Mauricio Pochettino get’s the final say on transfer fees?
Tottenham haven’t ‘cooled’ anything. Foyth’s agent flew into London to speak with Levy. Levy refused to pay the fee upfront and the agent went away again.
Estudiantes value the 19-year-old defender at more than £8m and that is more than Spurs are willing to pay.
Er… no. It was ‘willing to pay up front‘.
PSG are expected to announce a successful transfer in due course. To competently run top flight clubs, fees under £10million aren’t cause for hysterics and blame games.
The leaking from THFC has now hit a point whereby it’s now become a concern.
