Tottenham Could Likely Secure a ‘Special’ Midfielder

Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly considering several midfielders.

Conor Gallagher and Douglas Luiz have been mentioned in connection with Spurs, yet the most captivating proposition recently is Franck Kessie from Barcelona.

The ‘excellent’ midfielder is a desired signing by Ange Postecoglou at Spurs, and per Martin Lipton on Last Word on Spurs, Kessie seems to be the most plausible midfield addition Tottenham could make presently.

Lipton insinuates that it wouldn’t take much for Spurs to acquire Kessie due to Barcelona’s ongoing fiscal problems, pointing out that another financial havoc at Camp Nou is expected within the upcoming 15 months.

Signing Kessie Could be Effortless

Lipton discussed insight he has regarding Kessie.

“They’re undeniably considering alternatives and I believe Kessie might be the simplest one to secure due to Barcelona’s economic situation. They are financially strained for a variety of causes and need to generate revenue; however, it still won’t suffice since they have another impending crisis that will unbalance the club in the following 15 months, but that’s another matter,” stated Lipton.

Seize the Opportunity

It seems like Barcelona might be on the verge of yet another economic crisis, providing an optimal chance for other clubs to benefit.

While Barcelona will not be offloading their central players, peripheral options like Kessie could potentially become more affordable.

Spurs have shown long-standing interest in Kessie and, as Lipton indicates, it might now be simpler than ever to finalize this deal.

Maintain a watch on these developments as Spurs continue the hunt for additional recruits.
