CalcioNapoli24 have forgotten which country they're in, let alone which city, and are reporting that we're looking to bring in Ayoze Perez

Naturally a certain section of the Spurs fanbase are mouthing off about him not being good enough, somehow believing we're looking to bring him in as a starter when it's clear we're looking to bring him in as a utility player - although that does indicate that Lamela's time at the club may be coming to an end given Perez was playing on the right for Newcastle last season

Tellingly, though, Perez is more of a poacher compared to target men like Llorente or Janssen - which is exactly the sort of player I've been saying we need as a bench option for some time
 
PSG rejects do not work out. Look at Aurier.
Or Moura ...

I wanted a player like Lo Celso to be a replacement for Ramsey. He would have been perfect for us. A young, dynamic and energetic midfielder who can score goals and makes late runs into the box. Has a good shot from range too. I didn't think we would get him though due to him only recently being signed by Betis on a permanent deal.

If you sign him though, that would just take the facking biscuit...
 
BBC reporting a €60m-ish bid for Giovani Lo Celso from Real Betis

BBC reporting... aka BBC just picking up on Twitter rumours from Sunday <laugh>

Cant say I know too much about him but if he’s anywhere near as good as Moura, another ‘PSG reject’, then I’m all for it.

From what little I know he would naturally play a bit deeper than Eriksen or Dele, Eriksen is probably a better passer but Lo Celso carries the ball more.

*ahem*

Of course, the BBC being late to the party as per usual (although not as bad as their political coverage, which is stuck in 1938...) they missed the story evolving over the past 48 hours, namely the part where it emerged PSG have a 20% sell-on clause

Considering Betis paid €25m to make his loan permanent in April, a €60m bid from us would make them a profit of €23m due to PSG taking €12m - and that's the sticking point, as they're expecting to make at least double what their paid

...so, about Tielemans being available for £40m?

Reports suggest that the club has told Vincent Janssen he can go on holiday early - which is more than a little ****ty, considering that pretty much tells him that he's not welcome to celebrate with his teammates on Saturday should what Sky, BT and the BBC dread happening actually happens

However, there is a potential twist in the tale as...

Lo Celso Watch
...admittedly this is from a Twitter ITK so take it with an DT's amount of salt, but they're suggesting that Betis are willing to sell if we offer €68m + Janssen

Levy would take that to get his wages off the bill, FFS! <laugh>
