Sami Khedira’s footballing CV is best described as mighty. Aged 33, the right footed man from Stuttgart has won every major honour in the game from 3 domestic titles, the Champions League and even the World Cup. In his 6th season at Juventus, there’s now a suggestion of a Premier League swan-song for the super experienced German.
Joe Miles for The Sun has quotes from the player intimating that lines of communication already exist, certainly as far as Tottenham and Everton are concerned, Mourinho was with him at Real Madrid.
Juve gaffer Pirlo appears not to have fallen out with the 6’2″ player as such, rather is looking to player a different system and Khedira has yet to play a single game so far in this term.
“I would never say no again to Mourinho, but he is not the only guy who I would say I would like to work with again. Ancelotti is doing a great job at the moment and is a great personality. He is one of the coaches who impressed me as well.”
Sami Khedira
It’s pretty clear that Sami is looking to tell the entire league that he is available and looking to make a move – although this would be most likely next summer, as he is still under contract.
Do Spurs have need for a right-sided midfielder? It’s unlikely as the most obvious player Sami might replace is Moussa Sissoko, is also no spring chicken.
I take a view that we will be linked with Khedira, but we will not sign him.
