da leao： In one of the week’s craziest transfer stories, The Mirror report that Paris Saint-Germain are in the market for Spurs’ star player Dele Alli and are willing to pay an eye-watering amount to get him.
What’s the word?
da fazobetai： England international Dele Alli is enjoying his football at White Hart Lane but his life could be turned upside down if PSG follow through with an incredible summer transfer bid.
The Mirror report Unai Emery’s side are willing to pay up to £50m to bring the 20 year old across the channel to Paris.
They reckon Real Madrid are also in for the midfielder having scouted him at the end of last season.
If two of the world’s richest clubs are in for a player you can be sure that the selling club are in for a bumper deal and £50m would be hard for even Spurs to turn down.
Should Spurs keep hold of him anyway?
£50m is serious money but is it worth it to Spurs to sell? The Lilywhites paid a fraction of that sum to bring him to White Hart Lane from MK Dons but he has been one of their most consistent performers ever since.
At just 20 years old he has the potential to go on and become a Spurs legend.
The Mirror report that he is on £60,000 a week in London and that PSG are willing to improve the wage significantly. If Spurs can make room in their budget to match the French big spenders, that could stave off interest from the continent.
Goalscoring midfielders are hard to come by. Pochettino and the club would have to think long and hard whether the money received would be enough to replace his impact on the starting XI.
Interesting times ahead…
