Good evening.
Daylight could be dawning at The Lane.
Paul Mitchell’s instinct is being backed with this kid, who at 22 is already a Primera División and Copa Argentina winner.
Jonathan Calleri is a Boca Juniors striker that has already caught some modest press, largely due to a recent Tweet that effectively said toodle-pip.
The clubs linked so far include Arenal, Chelsea and Inter Milan.
However, Gladys tells me that it is the Spurs interest that is by far the most advanced.
Terms have been thrashed out and the contract is waiting to be signed.
We ideally want him to be brought in as soon as humanly possible – however there are passport/paperwork issues.
The suggestion being that Tottenham got the jump on the deal due to a number of factors, but it’s been the playing of the ‘Argentinian Card’ that’s really done the trick.
Even Ossie and Ricky have been wheeled out by Spurs here – by our Argentinian manager.
The kid’s father is his agent and extremely comfortable with the whole set up being offered.
Glad joked, ‘The brochure has really been handed out on this one – I wouldn’t put it past Poch to have told Lamela he had to score a hat trick last night to complete the happy Argie vibe.”
The fit certainly looks to be a credible one.
If he wants to play first team Premier League football, then there is a genuine berth at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
Terms agreed, fingers and other limbs crossed.
For those of a nervous disposition, he looks a quite Lamela-esque with his touch.
