Source Close To Club: £25million bid was placed but the devil’s in the detail

By The Boy -

In breaking late news, a source close the club tells me that a bid was placed for Pierre-Emile Højbjerg in the last few days. Against a valuation by Southampton thought to be in the region of £35million, this doesn’t seem like the worst bid Tottenham have ever made. Especially when one considers that Everton are rumoured to have recently increased their own offer from £18million to £20million, according to the Daily Echo.

The source says that issue with Daniel Levy’s bid is that the complexity of the £25million bid is the problem, and that to achieve the full amount, Southampton could find themselves waiting for staggered payments, plus number of add-ons within the deal to be triggered. The cash up front element from Spurs for Højbjerg is thought to be as low as £13million.

Given that relations between the defensive midfielder and the Saints is strained since Ralph Hasenhüttl withdrew the captain’s armband from Højbjerg this season, the interest from Everton could yet win the day. Which would leave Spurs in the lurch. Again.

Levy will work his b*lls off for JoMo which is annoying when he wouldn’t do it for Poch.
Maybe if we had signed Grealish I wouldn’t have to watch the other Harry ever again.

Le Tissier reckons Pierre has been disappointing and not kicked on, and hasn’t lived up to expectations… All the transfer fees being talked about are as if everyone has forgotten about covid 19.

Levy must be pretty sure this guy wants to come to us which puts him just where he likes.

Haha typical Levy structured payment – when is £25m not £25m? Answer when discount Danny offers it. Don’t tell me they only get the full amount when Hojbjerg scores a hattrick in a CL final and the temperature is -10c and it’s snowing.
