Today’s tittle-tattle has bought into this project
José Mourinho’s public demeanour regarding the new transfer window has been about managing expectations and generally not promising the
moon on a stick, but that hasn’t prevented a whirl of speculation about
Tottenham incomings and outgoings. First up is 2017-18’s Thomas Lemar. Out of favour at Atlético Madrid, the French midfielder could be heading to north
London on a six-month loan deal with a £51m option to buy in the summer. The loan fee would be just over £5m, reports The Independent, and Lemar is keen on a move to the Premier League.
