PSV is close to capturing the desired new midfielder. The club hopes to bring in Ibrahim Sangaré from Toulouse in France this weekend. A transfer of roughly 9 million euros! So more on the ED and AD site.

Who have they lost in central? I thought they hadn't sold anyone of note this window.

Would be typical for Hojbjerg to be out. Man's missed like 5 games in a decade and after 2 matches at Spurs he's already injured.

Romeu breaks Hojbjerg to force Spurs into buying Sangare. Southampton are out bid and must settle for what they have thus cementing Romeu's place in the Southamtpon XI for at least another few months. Romeu uses this leverage to secure a new deal for himself and better wages.

I mean it's not too far fetched.

Hojberg can’t play 60+ games this season. We need cover in his position unless we are happy with dier/winks or moussa in there.

Makes you wonder why we shipped Skipp out (other than playing time). I'd like to see Foyth given a chance at DM but it seems increasingly likely Mourinho will bin him, which leaves us with Winks/Sissoko or possibly Skriniar if we get him to play DM.

Been suggested Inter may consider Sissoko as part of a deal for Skriniar if they can't get Kante so potentially a midfield option we'll lose.

Incredible! Missed opportunity. And in a position in which Spurs lack depth.

Really liked the guy from YouTube scouting and think he could have helped us a lot.

I think it does say something that at this price and available to all of european football and he’s going to PSV. A lot of scouts must not find him all that exciting for the bigger leagues

We have too many non-HG players as it is.
That may be the case - but all clubs are under the same restriction. If we have too many non-HG players then we need to dump the peripheral players that don’t contribute to a significant degree and fill obvious holes.

Sorry that we’ve missed out on this talent that we could have had for a reasonable price.

I know we overrate our youth, but when I compare this guy to Oliver Skipp I don’t think he’s worth £10m and a precious HG spot more than Skipp. And honestly, Skipp has a ton of potential as a ball playing CM with dynamism. He’s a lot more agile and quicker than Sangaré, though you’d expect that with his height.

Opportunity cost. This one is OK to me, it’s very telling no PL teams went for him.

And what if they don’t want to go nor have any teams that want to buy them?

We have quality players with Premier League experience. I suppose that you really mean other clubs don’t want to buy our players at the price Levy wants.

You bring up a good point here. Skipp had done very well for us in a DM role - and he’s a HG player. He’d have been a decent back up to Hojbjerg. Sometimes the Club makes its own problems...
