I would also think they would want to wrap this up quickly to maximize press coverage of Pulisic as he tours the states with Spurs during the ICC. The ICC gets some publicity, but if Pulisic is in the squad, it would get significantly more.
It's actually a tweet from Taylor Twellman, a noted US and MLS reporter/analyst.
He's quite plugged in on the US/MLS side, having broken a number of stories/deals. He's not one for winding folks up. I 100% believe him. That said, the deal isn't closed.
Also, just to manage expectations, Yedlin...
Well he's not trying to sell papers like many of the British press. And this report is unrelated to his latest piece, an interview with Balotelli. So it appears he has less motivation to sensationalize - especially with a tweet that had little, if any, input from an editor.

Agreed. The dispute is between Valencia and the agents regarding how to split the fee.
Spurs could put the payment in escrow and let them fight it out, freeing up Soldado to sign personal terms. Unless his agent is being a twat, advising Soldado to not sign anything until the agent gets paid.
Seems the with signing of Defoe that a pute striker this window is a no goer. Still think we'll get Damiao in January and possibly ship off Defoe then.
