The Evening Standard’s Tom Dunn repeated the transfer rumour this morning that Barcelona are interested in reviving Tanguy Ndombele’s career, subject to a player plus cash offer for the Frenchman.
Ordinarily these type of deals turn out to be the product of idle minds, however in a post-COVID-19 world, deals that need to get done when there’s a shortage of cash are likely to get done, one way or another.
It’s possible that the Catalan club are prepared to put forward Nelson Semedo or Philippe Coutinho in any deal, which is worth consideration.
I’m unconvinced Tottenham need Coutinho, but Nelson Semedo would be class addition and kill two birds with one stone.
The 26-year-old is a proven winner and would make a sound companion for Davinson Sanchez.
Selling Serge Aurier has become a priority for reasons we’ve covered on this blog after virtually every game he’s played in.
Another point worth factoring in, is that Ndombele was purchased at pre COVID-19 prices and unless his career were to significantly ignite, this would be a unique means of making money on a player that had little involvement on the grass for Spurs, which would surely appeal to Daniel Levy?
