Tottenham outbid by Lyon for Pape Cheikh Diop but the Celta Vigo player is keen on moving to London
  • Tottenham have been following Celta Vigo midfielder closely for a while
  • But it is understood they have been outbid for him by Ligue 1 side Lyon
  • Spurs offered close to £9million for the 20-year-old midfielder last week
Tottenham have been outbid by Lyon for Pape Cheikh Diop but the Celta Vigo starlet is won over by the idea of a move to London.

Spurs offered close to £9million for the 20-year-old midfielder last week and must find more before the La Liga club will agree to sell.

Lyon have opened with a larger bid and proposed a lucrative package of personal terms for Pape Cheikh.

Confused by this one. Not sure why we'd spend £9M+ on a young CM when we have Winks and Onomah. Especially if our pursuit of Sanchez means Dier is now primarily considered a CM and will rotate with Wanyama.

Because this guy is probably seen as being better defensively. Onomah / Winks are probably seen as more of where Dembele sits.

Any one else getting a bit mythed by Levy's brinkmanship? Outbid by Lyon? wtf

Not really. If the player wants to come to us, why would we be paying more than someone who he doesn't want to go to? Makes sense.

We may ultimately need to match it, but it's in their interest to outbid us to try and steal a march

Lyon in talks for Pape Cheikh Diop

Ligue 1 side Lyon are in talks over the possible signing of 20-year-old Spanish youth international midfielder Pape Cheikh Diop from Celta Vigo, according to L’Équipe.

The 20-year-old of Senegalese origin is under contract with the La Liga side until 2021. Lyon are searching for a long-term replacement for Maxime Gonalons.

You could look at it 2 ways.

Either we are being outbid by Lyon OR we are concentrating on other targets.

JJ did mention yesterday that we had other irons in the fire with some salt required (in as many words) in regards to Diop, it might well have been in this thread.

All outbid means is, we've made a bid, Lyon have bid more. This probably happens in every transfer across all clubs (excluding the mental bids i.e Neymar obviously)

Given jjs info stating that we may not be going after Diop due to pursuing other targets and Grey Fox information in relation to RS, i wonder if we could be after Renato Sanchez and not the obvious RS from Fulham?

One of Mendes' most high-profiled clients. So, no. Watch him end up at Wolves like Neves. Surprised he's not at Chelsea or ManU.
