Spurs Pull Out Of Saliba Deal

Spurs Pull Out Of Saliba Deal

"The transfer window in England ends on August 8th so yes there will probably be something that will happen."

He doesn't say which club he will be joining but I can confirm that Saint-Étienne has accepted the Tottenham bid for the 18-year-old (19 next March.

However, I can tell you it isn't Spurs. Mauricio Pochettino had a talk with Saliba and after the conversation, Pochettino told Levy not to pursue a deal for the player.

Whether he expressed a preference for game time at Arsenal I don't know, whether he wasn't prepared to be developed, whether he wants to be a first choice now rather than one of four or whether he doesn't have the winning mentality we need, I don't know.

All I can tell you is that Spurs are not pursuing a deal.
