Tottenham Hotspur has been on the hunt for a new addition to their midfield, and one of their top choices now appears to be on the verge of signing with another team.
Tottenham has made several high-quality signings already, with James Maddison being a standout. However, entity Daniel Levy is continually striving to boost Ange Postecoglou’s squad.
The club had been strongly associated with Barcelona’s Franck Kessie. Negotiations about acquiring the player were underway, but current reports indicate that this potential transfer is not materialising.
According to latest updates from The Athletic, the player is on the verge of sealing an approximately £13m transfer to Saudi Arabian team, Al Ahli.
Tottenham’s Failed Kessie Bid
The “remarkable” midfielder who was once ‘ranked among the top-tier midfielders in Serie A’ prior to joining Barcelona, now seems set for a move to Saudi Arabia.
Top-tier European teams often struggle when trying to compete with Saudi Pro League clubs, which have deep pockets and can offer significant salaries.
Spurs appear to have fallen foul of this scenario, losing out on their target player. They now face the task of identifying a new candidate.
Undeniably, Tottenham requires another defensive-minded central midfielder in their ranks.
Kessie could have been the perfect fit. He was reportedly interested in joining Tottenham as well.
The team now needs to reassess their options swiftly, with the new season just around the corner.
Given the intense activity at Spurs this summer transfer period, it’s probable that chairman Daniel Levy eagerly anticipates the closing of the window at the end of August.
