Two transfer targets that will not be joining Tottenham today

By Bruce Grove -

Tottenham has enjoyed a mixed deadline day so far as they look to have signed Emerson Royal from Barcelona to strengthen their right-back spot.

However, the Lilywhites haven’t had the perfect transfer deadline day as they will miss out on two other players.

The Lilywhites have been looking to sign Barcelona’s Ilaix Moriba and Lyon’s Houssem Aouar in this transfer window.

Moriba rejected a new contract offer from Barcelona and was frozen out of their first team and reserves for this campaign.

His only option to play football this season was to leave and Tottenham was keen to ensure that he joins them in London.

However, The Daily Mail reports that RB Leipzig has won the race for his signature with the German club signing him on a five-year deal.

He reportedly chose them because they play in the Champions League and he wasn’t convinced about the role he would play at Tottenham.

Aouar, on the other hand, looks set to remain at Lyon despite strong interest from Tottenham for much of this summer.

Transfer insider, Fabrizio Romano has tweeted that the French midfielder will not leave Lyon on this deadline day despite interest from Tottenham and other top clubs.
