| Spurs are looking at left-back options |
Several clubs are asking about Marcus Edwards but Brentford are in pole position given he has been training with them.
I have heard of a £4 million (€4.45m - $5m) fee with a percentage of future profit on any sale and with a buyback clause, but I'm not certain of that yet. My reticence is because it is not normally the type of deal we do, but then Edwards is a talented player, just mentally not there yet.
I'll confirm for new readers what I have said before, he had a meeting with Poch and it didn't go well. Edwards still doesn't seem to want to do what he is told and thinks he is better than he currently is. He still needs to develop and he needs to mature as a person.
Marcus Edwards fell out with Pochettino
We do have a list of left-backs, in fact, we have a list for every position, as you would expect.
Benfica left-back, 23-year-old (24 in September) Álex Grimaldo has 2 Spanish Under-21 caps and came through the youth system at Barcelona before the move to Portugal on January 1st 2016.
We have made contact with Benfica.
Also on our list is Alex Telles, a quick left-back who likes to attack. The 26-year-old (27 in December) also plays in Portugal, this time for Porto. The Brazilian has one international cap, back in March against Panama.
Telles has played in Turkey for Galatasaray, in Italy for Gremio and Inter Milan before his move to Portugal and has racked up 31 UEFA Champions League games.
Remember, looking, enquiring, does not mean buying. It is common sense to explore all options and then come to an informed decision about what to do.
Just to clarify the Danny Rose situation. He had a bust-up with Pochettino. He does have an offer on the table and that offer is still available. The club would like him to stay but his head has been turned somewhat by PSG.
It is my view that Ryan Sessegnon needs a season of cementing in and learning our system so without Rose we could be light in that area. His medical is booked for Wednesday but these things do change often.
Giovani Lo Celso is back from his holidays soon so you might see a medical for him later in the week. I repeat for the umpteenth time, the fee was agreed before the Copa America and hasn't changed one iota. All the talk now is of the fee you have already been given.
Danny Rose leaving is not a definite, well not yet, it's probable, hence us looking at other options.
Cristian Eriksen's deal is a 4-year deal, not a 3-year deal as some are reporting and no he has not signed it yet, I get asked that one on Twitter (@TheTHFCWebsite).
Some people seem to be indicating that Bale is a possibility. It isn't at the moment, not until the financial standoff is resolved. Nobody is close to signing him, both Bayern Munich and PSG are interested but nobody is going to pay a big fee and cover his lost wages.
A reminder for new readers. If a club sells a player then that player is entitled to the wages from the rest of his contract as it isn't he who is seeking a move.
If however the player hands in a transfer request, then he forgoes the remaining wages on his contract, although he may still negotiate a pay off as well as a signing on fee from the new club.
Real Madrid owes Bale 3 years wages and some of his commercial endorsements are if he is a Real Madrid player only. That makes it financially difficult for everyone.
Well, this was a post about Marcus Edwards, but has morphed into yet another update!
