Tottenham step up Nuno Espírito Santo talks and target defender Jules Koundé

Tottenham have stepped up talks with Nuno Espírito Santo and are interested in signing the Sevilla centre-back Jules Koundé

www.theguardian.com

The club want to sign at least one central defender and have included Sevilla’s Jules Koundé among their targets. The 22-year-old, part of France’s Euro 2020 squad, is expected to be sold for less than his €80m (£69m) release clause. Joachim Andersen, who spent last season on loan at Fulham from Lyon, is also on Tottenham’s list.

Kounde would be an unbelievable signing- anybody think we would actually spend that kind of money on one player this summer or that we have a real chance at him?

 

[Zlatan]

Kane said that he thinks we might be a couple of players away from challenging. Koundé is a player of that silk. I’d love us to pay up for him.

 

[Gspurs11]

Kounde would be fantastic but not really sure how we'd be able to get him, both in terms of competition and potential financials. There was some rumours of Seville being interested in Dav so perhaps something in the offing there.

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Dont do it to yourselves.

 

[tottenhamlad]

It wouldnt shock me.

There is a good sell on value. Similar to the big money deals we did for Ndombele and Sanchez really.

 

[TheTanguy]

Great talent, but we are never gonna spend that kind of money on a single player this summer.

 

[BuckeyeSpurs11]

Only hope is if they would agree to Sanchez + 25m or 30m for Kounde. Which means there's no hope.

Whenever players I sign on FM get linked I will proceed to do it to myself thank you very much.

 

[Snarfalicious]

Doherty, Dier, Lamela and Chirpy for Kounde.

Here we go again with this. What is the point of the transfer rumours section if we shouldn't allow ourselves to dream a little?

Fine, by all means do it to yourselves, but I can guarantee you we won't get him

N'Dombele happened off the back of the UCL Final. We were a club going places that players wanted to come to. Now....

Pay them enough and a lot of players will go anywhere

Within reason - I think if it's clear that the club is on an upward trajectory, then they'll buy into it.

Take the case of City when we beat them to 4th about a decade (or more) ago - everyone knew that they had a long term project, and that they would splash a load of cash. As a consequence, not being in the Champs League didn't stop them getting good players.

Sadly, we have no money, no manager, no plan, and no prospect of breaking into a top 4, all of who can claim they have all those things - there are even teams outside the top 4 who can claim to be better on pretty much all those measures.

So the likelihood of getting anyone of quality is very limited. Our best chance is offering game time to good young players and being patient...but even that supposes we hire a credible manager

 

[Danny B]

I've already had it confirmed to me by someone who has a mandate to sell Kounde in England that there is "absolutely no chance" of us signing him. Would love to be proved wrong.

 

[King of the Lane]

He will go to Chelsea

 

[dtxspurs]

We didn’t even spend 30mil on a player last summer

 

[rossdapep]

We didn’t even spend 30mil on a player last summer

Reguillon?

 

[Yiddo100]

We didn’t even spend 30mil on a player last summer

I doubt many teams did, plus we didn’t have a bad summer
