The player, who is currently valued at €8m, makes the move to Antonio Conte’s team as the sixth major first team signing of the summer, following the arrival of Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster on free transfers, Clément Lenglet arriving on loan, along with Yves Bissouma from Brighton for €29.2m and Everton forward Richarlison for €58m. As such, Spurs will see their spending for the summer surpas €100m, while taking into account the sales of Steven Bergwijn and Cameron Carter-Vickers, which come to just under €40m in transfer income.
Such an aggresive strategy in the summer market will undoubtedly delight fans of the club, who have had to put up with a few years of stagnation that came close to Harry Kane pushing for a move away from the club last summer. Now, with Conte at the helm and a number of new signings, Tottenham are showing a clear sign of intent at making another push for the top four and success domestically and in Europe.
