Lyon tem negociação avançada com Flamengo para contratar Jean Lucas, que está emprestado ao Santos https://t.co/EQWh3s9x9X

Portuguese journalist Venê Casagrande has perhaps thrown Spurs fans some hope in relation to the Tanguy NDombele transfer.
Keen eyed readers will recall yesterday’s piece on Harry Hotspur carrying quotes from Lyon President Aulas, who told the French press that a key indicator in any deal for Tanguy beginning to take shape if a good box-to-box midfield youngster arriving at his club.
That such a move might signal that Ndombele was leaving Lyon.
Casagrande believes that Lyon are in advanced negotiations for midfielder Jean Lucas.

Now, young Lucas’ CV is pretty damn thin, but it is worth remembering that so was NDombele’s prior to joining Lyon. Tanguy was bought for just €6million.
Perhaps the two transfers are entirely unrelated, however it isn’t entirely unbelievable that this could be the player being brought in to cover NDombele’s departure.





It was a guest post, mate.
Why no comment section on previous article?It would have prompted some interesting thoughts I think.
To my mind this is dragging on too long.Levy made an initial lowball move and was told to fuck off.As is pointed out he has previous with Lyon.Since then I suspect the ENIC spin unit is working overtime.
I’m surprised the failure of the transfer hasn’t been blamed on the Russians by now.This miserly bastard is holding our club back.
In answer to previous comment free blog – HK got completely owned by the Pooh CB’s, they had him in their pockets all night and i disagree with H’s take overall; HK was individually shite and bears individual responsibility for putting his personal glory ahead of the teams by declaring himself match fit and applying pressure to Poch, who also bears responsibility for caving. Kane should never have started and we should have set up completely differently with Moura-less, whose personal heroics and match sharpness got us there. What played out was exactly what anyone with even a passing interest in the game knew was going to play out – a non match fit Kane sucking the forward dynamism out of the team. Yes it’s easy to say well you couldn’t predict what would happen, except we did.
Trouble is trying to save a few quid as Levy does every time has the potential to royally piss off the selling club, as happened with Lyon over Hugo. Now we’re going to be punished for Levy’s moronic penny pinching tactics. The Lyon chairman has goods that Levy wants and by hell is he going to erect roadblocks at every opportunity to make the little troll struggle to get the deal done without paying his dues. What goes around comes around, Levy’s days as a successful transfer negotiator are long gone. Now everyone sees the little shyster coming a mile off.
Folks our chairman is as toxic as a Chernobyl rat.
Just get him in. Struth. Bite the fucking bullet and pay them the £60 whatever mil. I suppose levy a argument is shaving a few million of each player could potentially save us close to ten mill on three players.

So to keep the price lyon pay low and the price we pay high. I also read lyon might be interested in Anderson that defender from sampdoria you talked about yesterday. Seems us buying Ndombele will give lyon the money not only for his replacement but also a player we were looking to replace Toby.
2 things strike me about this circus. 1 is that he was on poch radar last year, so apart from physical contact everything should have been sorted, as nobody talks behind their clubs backs do they. 2nd is I can’t help but think this transfer has and probably has potential to get even more dramatic due to the relationship between the 2 chairmen. He pissed their boy off royally over lloris and I can see him thinking ill screw him for everything this time.
I wonder how much of the Ndombele delay is Lyon not wanting to publish their HUGE profit on the lad prior to a replacement being agreed? Would make sense why we are being talked about by player and Lyon in a favourable way for no reason.
