The Mirror is the purveyor of this transfer rumour which may ask more questions than it answers.
Spurs scouting Eden Dzeko under new boss Jose Mourinho! I appreciate I’ve been overdoing it on the Guinness and port recently, but has this really precipitated some awkward reverse time travel to 2012?
Ah, but it’s all about that Fernando Llorente groove, man!
I’d rather hoped we might move on from this sort of thing under the Chosen One. A 34-year faithful retainer, or talented 17-year-old from the back streets of Dublin, looking to make a name for himself?
That was a rhetorical question, by the way.
Next up is Kalidou Koulibaly. This too, seems to be the work of a less than diligent mind as it would take €100,000 to bring this 28-year-old to Haringey, say El Desmarque.
Difficult to believe that even the hypnotically charming Mr Mourinho could illicit this sort of cash from Mr Levy for a player in the ‘autumn’ of his years.
The Senegalese is undoubtedly a solid defender, but just because he was previously rumoured to be on Jose’s wish list at Manchester United, doesn’t mean very much now, a year on.
