Fabrizio Romano confirms Tottenham will not be signing £50m player now 

Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer strategy seems to be built around signing talented young players at the moment.

Indeed, Spurs have signed the likes of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall in recent times, and it looks as though Tottenham are building for the future.

Spurs have been linked with another very talented teenager throughout this summer transfer window.

Desire Doue is reportedly a Tottenham target, but, unfortunately for Spurs, it doesn’t look as though this deal will get done.

, Fabrizio Romano has shared an update on Doue’s future, and the journalist says that he now thinks Doue won’t join Tottenham, claiming that Bayern Munich and PSG are both more likely to sign the Frenchman.

Desire Doue to Tottenham unlikely

Romano shared what he knows about the Rennes attacker.

“I think he will not go to Spurs, it will be between PSG and Bayern. Bayern already presented a new bid €55m package, PSG’s bid is around €60m, exactly what Rennes want. I think it could be this week, but it’s not guaranteed yet,” Romano said.

Doue would be smart to join Tottenham

Doue won’t be joining Spurs this summer by the sounds of things, but the winger would be wise to prioritise a move to Tottenham this summer.

Indeed, given how many talented young players Spurs have, Doue would likely thrive in this group.

Of course, PSG and Bayern Munich are perennial superpowers, but their incredible status may mean that Doue doesn’t get the gametime he particularly wants or needs if he joins one of those elite clubs.

Meanwhile, Spurs have shown that they’re willing to give chances to young players, and with such an exciting project being built at Tottenham, Doue’s best bet may have been to go and join Ange Postecoglou in north London.

Doue may well live to regret not joining Tottenham in this summer transfer window.
