Follow the team: Tottenham is no longer interested in Inkapier, and pursues Gibbs White & Eze fails one after another
Tottenham Hotspur reporter Alasdair Gold posted a message to discuss the team's signing situation that Tottenham is no longer interested in Inkapier, and the team is currently facing obstacles in midfield signings.
Tottenham coach Frank made it clear in an interview with football.london during the preseason that the team has enough tolerance for the full-back position, including Polo, Udorgi, Spencer and Ben Davis, and Gray can also be competent for the positions on both sides. Frank emphasized the importance of Ben Davis as an experienced player to the team, but the player himself admitted in an interview with football.london that his future destination is still uncertain as his contract is only 10 months away.
Frank does want the team to bring in another central defender, as he sometimes switches to a three-back formation and has some concerns about the attendance of new captains Romero and Van Devin. In a total of 60 games last season, the two played only 26 and 22 respectively. In addition, the team's central defenders include Denso, Ben Davis, Dragusin, who is recovering from an ACL injury and new player Yukio Takai. However, compared with the new No. 10 players and wingers, introducing new central defenders is not the top priority for Tottenham.
According to football.london, Tottenham did negotiate with Leverkusen earlier this summer on the introduction of central defender Inkapier, but in the end, it failed. The player has long been a target for former Tottenham football director Paratic. However, Tottenham did not continue to pursue him after that, and club insiders said that the connection and interest about Inkapier had stopped.
In addition, Tottenham had an affair with Burnley's Esteford, but the player eventually renewed his contract with Burnley. Tottenham's goal may be like Inkapier, finding a player who can play both a central defender and a fullback to increase Frank's choice depth in the lineup.
The new midfielder Palinia won wide praise in the team as soon as she joined this summer. The players quickly integrated into the team. Tottenham can buy him out at the end of the season. Tottenham also plans to renew his contract with Bentancur, another midfielder, Bisuma, was punished by Frank for being late several times this summer, and Tottenham is considering selling it.
There are also many young and promising midfielders in Tottenham, including Saar, Grey and Berrival, who are all favored by Frank. But Tottenham is still trying to sign a new No. 10 player to enrich the lineup. They have offered Gibbs White twice, the first time 60 million pounds, and the second time is after weeks of chaos, and the final renewal of the player's contract with Nottingham Forest.
This failed pursuit made Frank particularly disappointed, because he longed to get Gibbs White when he was in Brentford, and regarded him as the first choice at No. 10. Players are also the long-term target of Tottenham. The club was convinced that the deal was feasible. It is reported that Gibbs White called Frank to apologize, but the latter told him that there was no need to apologize.
Then, Tottenham was hit again in pursuit of Eze. The club thought they had reached an agreement with Crystal Palace and the player himself, but in the end Arsenal stepped in and signed the player who had been a Gunners fan since childhood. As the signings became more and more urgent, Tottenham began to show a strong interest in Cuomo midfielder Pas, but after many discussions, it was believed that the deal might be difficult to do.
Tottenham has long been interested in Villa midfielder Morgan Rodgers, but the player has a long-term contract until 2030, and the chance of a successful transfer is not high. Tottenham also visited Leicester midfielder Elhanus, but the players' experience in the top league is far less than that of Gibbs White and Eze. Tottenham also wants West Ham midfielder Paqueta, but it remains to be seen whether the opponent will let go of another team core in the face of financial restrictions. It is reported that the Hammer Gang is interested in Suma, which may become a breakthrough in the transaction.
