Little in the way of surprise here, but perhaps it’s a salutary reminder to those journalists toying with the idea of creating narratives that don’t genuinely exist in order to generate interest… Daniel Levy was never going to take a €10million hit on Tanguy Ndombele as per The Guardian‘s recent piece.
Simon Jones for The Daily Mail understands that Levy is planning to hold out for £23million in negotiations with AC Milan for Serge Aurier – precisely what Spurs paid for the Ivorian back in August 2017. If Levy expects to get ALL his money back on a gaffe prone player after 3 years, then there is zero chance our CEO is about to heavily discount a potential world-beater like Tanguy after approximately 1000 minutes.
Moving Serge Aurier on to Italy is a sound move, we made the case recently for Tanganga stepping into the right back spot, for which he is perfectly suited.
