Daniel Levy would apparently be willing to loosen Tottenham’s pursestrings this summer if Wolves striker Raul Jimenez became available.
Jose Mourinho is expected to be limited to free transfers, loans and any funds generated from player sales in his attempts to balance out a squad which is in need of investment and freshness across most of the pitch.
However, Football Insider understands that Levy would be willing to make an exception to that policy to bring Jimenez to Spurs. Mourinho is said to be a big admirer of the 29-year-old striker who is reportedly on the lookout for the last big move of his career and the pay day that comes with it.
As BBC Sport details, Wolves only signed Jimenez last summer, for £30m on a four-year-deal. Because of his age, they cannot feasibly add a huge premimum on that figure, but you would expect the Midlands club would want their money back and more if the Mexican tried to force a move.
Signing Jimenez would be a difference maker; finally a striker nearly every bit as good a Harry Kane to take the burden off the England skipper.
But I just can’t see it happening myself. Levy rarely makes exceptions.
