Jules Koundé to Tottenham is one transfer rumour I’ve mentioned on my YouTube channel, but only in disparaging tones, as we don’t have any money and it fundamentally any such deal would therefore stick out like a sore thumb. Sure, Daniel Levy can always find the money for capital assets, or vanity projects like stumping up over a million pounds a month to pay Gareth Bale’s wages, but going all in for a decent player we might actually need?
ESTADIOdeportivo have come into the coverage swinging, with the allegation from an inside source at Seville that there have been no discussions and beyond that the player would cost at least €65million and… would require Champions League football in order to have his head turned.
It could be that a number of outlets will have egg on their faces, but whatever the outcome, we shall all know soon enough as the transfer window’s close will once again reveal who was useful and who was wasting our time.
