Succession planning for any football club is hugely important and Spurs have a good few aging players on the books right now.
As far as the Academy goes, who knows? Maybe a first-team manager in place for an entire season would be a good start… But thinking specifically of the space that Heung-min Son operates in, this 20-year-old looks like a potentially shrewd move. MundoDeportivo believes that between Ansu Fati’s agents and his father, a bigger move might be on the cards, and Tottenham has been named as a potential suitor. and that a ‘shock exit‘ could be on the cards.
The boy’s dad recently said, “…if it were up to me, I would take him from Barça, but he wants to continue at Barça. I am angry as a father and what bothers me is that Ansu plays so few minutes”.
This general vibe of ‘what’s the next step’ is said to have been communicated via the footballer and his father to his super agent, Jorge Mendes. Mendes is believed to be currently presenting the player to numerous top European sides such as Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and Tottenham Hotspur.
For me, this kid has many positive assets, and at the tender age of just twenty (he’s 21 in October), this looks precisely like the sort of transfer target that Daniel Levy should be looking at.
Spurs fans could do with some hope and the likes of players like him and Destiny Udogie could well provide fans with more than a few reasons to be cheerful!
