As I’ve suggested before, in these most testing of times for top flight football clubs, Tottenham fans can for once can count themselves fortunate that Daniel Levy is at the helm. Sure, I’ve been a colossal critic of ENIC’s representative on Earth, but now is the time to unleash the kind of negotiating that lacks both foresight or intellectual insight. Every penny counts right now.
Football Insider believe that José Mourinho has reached out personally to the Bournemouth player, which is the Portuguese’s modus operandi, once Levy has thrashed out a preliminary deal with the club and obtained permission to talk with the player.
Unless I missed it, we were the first to break the news that Wilson had agreed terms, and hope that this deal is one that gets done, if this is a player that Mourinho is happy to take.
Bournemouth will undoubtedly be in a world of pain right now, with a whole host of players that are currently earning too much money, given the club’s new Championship status. Levy will be aware of this and Bournemouth are in a tight spot.
