Stambouli medical today
Benjamin Stambouli will complete his move to PSG within days after flying to America to have a medical for the French champions.
The hold up to this deal has been PSG and Tottenham agreeing a fee, personal terms had all been agreed with the player and when Watford found out Stambouli preferred a move back to France they pulled out of their deal. Stambouli had everything agreed with the newly promoted Hornets but was delaying a decision and keeping his options open.
The chance for him to go to PSG arose as they needed to increase their home grown quota after selling Cabaye and it didn't take long to negotiate personal terms. Tottenham are now believed to have agreed a £5.56 million (US$8.69m - AUS$13.22m - €8m) according to French newspaper L'Equipe, having originally paid £4.70 million (US$7.33m - AUS$9.94m - €6.77m) a year ago.
The French press have been all over this story and La Parisien are reporting that Stambouli flew to New YorK last night to have a medical today before joining his new teammates as they prepare to take on Benfica in the International Champions Cup, a pre-season friendly to you and me.
That will be three players gone from central midfield. One of those spots will be taken by Dele Alli who is impressing hugely in training so we may be seeing more of him than expected this season.
