Mason and Chadli

TRANSFER TALK

Ryan Mason is interesting a few clubs because he is a home grown player who has shown he can handle the Premier League. Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Hull City and Stoke City have all bees mentioned as planning bids, making bids or watching his situation.

From Mason's point of view there isn't any point leaving Tottenham. The club have Champions League football and he is currently the number two to Mousa Dembele so an injury to him could see him playing Champions League football, plus of course the opportunity for substitute appearances. Dembele will also need a rest between Champions League games and there are cup games to play as well.

The Sun are suggesting that Borussia Dortmund are following Nacer Chadli and that they may be preparing a £12-million (€14.02m - AUS$20.71m - US$15.5m) bid. Everton have also been mentioned as a possible destination. Reading the report though it seems the paper are simply putting two and two together to guess that Chadli isn't wanted at Tottenham, although there is no evidence to suggest that that is the case.

They site the signing of Victor Wanyama as putting Mason at risk, but he plays in a different position, he plays the defending Dier role as opposed to the more attacking Dembele role. They also assume that as Spurs are looking for a wide attacker that Chadli must be in danger, That may not be the case at all.
