Apparently Spurs are watching a player who isn't even playing!
The Daily Mirror have published a story that if you do a little digging is almost certainly complete fabrication.
-'Hugo Lloris is the club's first choice keeper but the Frenchman wants to play in the Champions League and could consider a move away'- they begin which is fair enough, they are setting their story.
Then they tell us the story is in fact from the Sunday People so clearly they haven't bothered to check any of it.
They tell us Tottenham scouts have been watching £9 million-rated Toulouse keeper Ali Ahamada. You'll recall the story from last week where I relayed the news we had scouts watching Wissam Ben Yedder, the Toulouse forward, who incidentally played yesterday.
So what are the holes in this story, well suspicions are raised over the fee first of all so first port of call is transfermarkt to get their version only to find there is quite a significant difference, his value there is just £1.76 million. That's a large discrepancy, especially for a goalkeeper when you consider the price we paid for one of the worlds best, Hugo Lloris.
This guy would have to be one hell of a keeper so how has he been performing? Well that's just the thing, he has only played 1 game on the 23rd August, a 2-1 win against SC Bastia. He has been sat on the bench 5 times and not in the squad 3 times, how exactly are we watching him?
You would think someone would actually check a player we are supposed to be watching is actually playing if you are going to invent a story the other papers don't have, I wonder why they don't have it!
