If the press are to be believed then players are running away from Monaco like there’s be an outbreak of something quite untoward at the The Stade Louis II.
We know that Bernado Silva has already moved to Manchester City, but it is also suggested that the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Tiemoué Bakayoko may also bail.
You may recognise the name Lemar.
Not for coming third in Fame Academy, that’s a different one. I mean the 21-year-old French international who scored against Spurs both home and away against us in the Champions League group stages last season.
I don’t know if he can sing.
Last season he was linked with Chelsea and Manchester United. No it’s our turn. Could it be that this is just a merry-go-round of tub thumping from his agent?
The fee is said to be in the region of £25million – £30million depending which back page you consult.
The lad is probably on quite poor money, which is a routine plight in French Football. Hence Newcastle snapping up a job lot of mercenary no marks?
The issue for me is twofold. What would Poch do with a winger, and would Spurs be willing to pay the market rate for boy, which I guarantee you will be less than whoever else offers him?
For totally different reasons obviously – I would feel this one belongs along with idea of Mahrez joining Spurs.
Just the sort of player we ought to sign in order to give us the edge, but ‘too challenging’ a deal for our ‘forever playing skint’ to get over the line.
Verdict:
