| Tottenham Transfer Talk |
I see there are still plenty of Twitter not aware of the situation at Spurs and what is happening so I'll give another roundup.
Sorry for those of you who are already aware of most of this, but I have picked up quite a few more readers who will not have read the back posts.
There are further articles at the end of this one under the THBN Articles - Further Reading section or under Popular Posts in the righthand sidebar of the Tottenham Hotspur Blog News (THBN) website. If you are reading this on another website just Google THBN.
Tottenham Transfer Talk
Christian Eriksen.
The Christian Eriksen to Real Madrid deal is not dead, nor is the Dani Ceballos loan as part of it.
Real Madrid and ourselves disagree over price and we disagree over a loan deal for Ceballos. We want the choice whether to buy him or not next summer, Real Madrid wants the decision whether to sell him or not, something we will not accept.
Zidane has other targets and only see Eriksen as a squad player so it depends how they get on with their other targets before possibly coming back for Eriksen.
The Dane understands the situation and has tried to put pressure on the club to let him leave. We want £80 million (€89.03m - $99.86m) for him.
We will still be trying to get 25-year-old (26 in August) striker Mariano Diaz in any deal.
Giovani Lo Celso
This is all agreed. I don't care what you are reading in the press, this deal has been agreed since before the Copa America and nothing has changed. Real Betis need a replacement and they have secured Nabil Fakir from Lyon I believe but we'll have to wait and see.
He has put in a transfer request, or his agent has, as he is on holiday after the Copa America and gets back next week.
This deal is going to happen, regardless of the Eriksen situation.
You all know the fee €68m (£61.11m - $76.30m) plus add-ons.

Ryan Sessegnon
This deal is all agreed as well and will happen. We have reopened discussions with Fulham who want a player on loan. I have heard Victor Wanyama mentioned but can't see him wanting to drop down to the Championship and Georges-Kevin N'Koudou, which sounds more likely.
Fulham wanted Oliver Skipp but he is a part of our first team and we don't want to send him to the Championship. He should get more game time with us this season and be developed much in the same way Harry Winks was developed.

Marcus Edwards
See my earlier post. A bust-up, still has the wrong mentality, goodbye Marcus.
Marcus Edwards fell out with Pochettino
Danny Rose
He is not committed to Spurs. PSG have been sniffing and his head is elsewhere. Both Everton and Schalke have been monitoring his situation. Again, he had a disagreement with Pochettino and has been left out of the pre-season tour as a result, as you now know, to find a new club.
He was offered a one-year extension to his current deal which only has two years left. He hasn't signed it.
For a full explanation (although it does not include details of the disagreement) of why it is common sense to sell Danny Rose, read another previous post.
Danny Rose - The Explanation
I have posted this before (a month or so I think but I haven't hunted back to find it) and forget about it in the explanation, but Danny Rose has fitness issues. We don't want another Wanyama on our hands.
Victor Wanyama
There is interest in him and we want him shifted. He, like Lamela, has only given us one good season and has spent the last two seasons injured and recovering from injuries.
He has an ongoing knee condition that has to be managed.
We won't get a lot for him, therefore, but he didn't cost a lot either. With Oliver Skipp coming through and Tanguy Ndombélé signed, Wanyama is not in Pochettino's long term plans.
The club are hopeful they can sell him. West Ham have asked about him and the two clubs have started talks.
Georges-Kevin N'Koudou
I don't know how true this is, but I have heard that N'Koudou is going to Fulham in the deal that brings Ryan Sessegnon to Tottenham. It would reduce the fee we have to pay by about £3m (€3.34m - $3.74m) and give them a young player with the potential to develop.
That could be good business for them if they can get him performing with regular football again.
That will do for now, a brief update with news old and new and snippets not in the press, who only know what they are told.

Best read on these types of issues anywhere.
Thank you sir, for helping me avoid so much "type-tripe" where this club is concerned.
