Spurs Continue To Monitor Top Transfer Targets Fernandes & Dybala

By Joe Fish -

Tottenham Hotspur remain in the market for both Paulo Dybala and Bruno Fernandes and could reprise their interest in January, according to Football London.

Alasdair Gold has dismissed Mauricio Pochettino’s notion that Spurs will not be active when the transfer window reopens and believes that the two summer targets will be back on the agenda.

Gold adds that Sporting Lisbon midfielder Fernandes is a more likely recruit as any deal for Dybala remains complicated, and the Juventus appear back in favour with Maurizio Sarri.

“Tottenham will continue to monitor the situation with both Bruno Fernandes and Paulo Dybala,” Gold wrote in Football London.

“I’d imagine Fernandes represents the slightly less problematic of the deals to do, with terms already agreed with the player in the summer, but Sporting will know Spurs are desperate and that price tag will rise yet further, especially as Fernandes has continued to perform well.

“With Dybala it will be about how much game time he’s getting and whether he wants to leave and feels appreciated, and how much Juventus need the money, along with those image rights issues.

“It was always going to be a tough deal to do in the summer, in January it gets even more difficult.”

While Gold can frustrate supporters with his rose-tinted views on Pochettino and the owners, he is one of the more reliable journalists out there when it comes to Spurs transfer news so it is encouraging to learn that the links to Dybala and Fernandes were not faux interest.

There are too many obstacles to the Dybala deal to give me any faith that this is a remote possibility, not least the fact that the Argentine told Corriere della Sera, via the Daily Mail, that he never wanted to join any of the clubs he was linked with in the summer.

Fernandes does look far more attainable and a return of seven goals and five assists in 10 appearances this season tells me there is a lot to like about a player who clearly has not sulked amidst his own transfer disappointment.

Take note, Christian Eriksen.
