That's not true. I had a deep-dive into this guy he's deemed as highly reliable for anything to do with Spanish youngsters, basically from U17 and up. Has had this "reputation" for years in Spain.
Well he's wrong about this so there's one blotch on his record. I've seen plenty of AS, Marca, Sport journalists being heralded as really reliable, leading to me trusting their stories, but they've always ended up being inaccurate or badly wrong where Spurs are concerned - and regarding other transfers as well.

Or maybe Ceballos deal is off and we turned attention to him. Not happening was 5 days ago i think :p

Not happening seems pretty definitive and not something that would change quickly.

And besides, the club usually says 'no comment' when there is some truth in a story, whereas they've actively denied any interest.

“I just got off the phone with Dani Olmo’s nan, she reliably informs me that he doesn’t like Croatia and would like to play for Spurs” this is literally his average post, hate that guy :cautious::ROFLMAO:
This is literally his latest post...

"In a SHOCK turn of events, Wan-Bissaka has had a argument in training with Manchester United Captain Ashley Young. Enrique told me that he heard this from a very reliable close friend of friend of Ashley Young, Could this possibly mean a shock move to the Tottenham!????"

He's entertaining if nothing else.

SMS from friend who lives in Zagreb and watches far too much PL football says
“I follow Zagreb and PL football a lot and believe me,excellent opportunity. He came in Dinamo Zagreb from Barcelona youth team (La Masia) as 15-16 years old. Few days ago he was an MVP in U21 Spain-Germany finals and scored a goal. In Dinamo’s european adventure (1/8 finals of Europa league-best European result in last 50 years) this year he was a best player. Our football federation was trying to convince him to play for Croatian national team (wasn’t ever done for any player). All in all,believe me,excellent perspective is ahead of him. All that for €20m.

Excellent thanks for this. Did your friend say this deal is benign reported over there or is it just the basic speculation we've seen on social media?

Well, if we aren't in for this lad, it certainly sounds as though we should be.
Let's hope that things do change.

Will be interesting if any of our Croatian fans can confirm if theres anything on this in their national media. Apparently there was nothing last time. Could just be Spanish journos picking up on Chinese whispers.

Maybe we are leaking info on this target to try and put pressure on Betis to accept our Lo Lo Celso offer.

I expect someone will ask JJ on twitter and he will shoot it down again

I would be amazed if we are suddenly interested after the itk said differently. Probably someone putting this story out there to put pressure on Betis, or to say to Madrid we won’t be fucked over the possible eriksen swap

There seems to be a lot of talk that he is going to Athletico Madrid instead

It makes sense now to secure one creative player for a smaller fee while the nonsense with Eriksen is going on and we are not ready to put our money on Lo Celso before we sort that out

One of the most reliable media there i think(Sportke Novosti) now are copying reports from Spain. Exactly week ago their own reports said the United are interested in paying 40m euro, Olmo wants a Premier League move. But they didn't mention Tottenham :)

What?

JJ said it wasn't true. Twice. He was then asked again 'Is that no deal or no interest?' and he said 'Not happening'.

He couldn't be clearer.
Yeah he was referring to the story about us signing him. Nothing about us not being interested.
I'd be surprised if we're not looking at him. That's not to say we'll sign him mind.
