Transfers

Player Tottenham wanted to sign has now been axed from the squad by his manager

Tottenham did not manage to land all of their targets during the winter transfer window.

Spurs were able t𝔍o sign Antonin Kinsky and Kevin Danso on permanent deals from Sl🤡avia Prague and RC Lens respectively – while Mathys Tel arrived on loan from Bayern Munich on deadline day.

However, Ange Postecoglou wanted another central defender in N17 along ♌with Danso.

Tottenham bid £70m for Marc Guehi – an offer Crystal Palace rejected – before Spurs tried to sign Axel Disasi on loan from Chelsea.

Johan Lange also bid for Maxime Esteve of Burnley, but ultimately, a second centre-back did not ar▨rive before the deadline.

There was another player Tottenham targeted during the winder window in Ansu Fati ꦅ– who could now be much easier to sign in the summer after a development at Barcelon🐻a.

Hansi Flick drops Ansu Fati from the Barcelona squad

TBR Football understand Tottenham showed interest in Fati before eventually landing Tel.

An agreement never materialised, but Hansi Flick has noꦜw dropped the Spain international from his squad in🌊 Catalonia, which could suggest the German is trying to facilitate an exit for the 22-year-old this summer.

After Fati was axed from Sunday’s 4-1 win over Sevilla, the Barcelona bos൲s said: “Ansu Fati is out due to technical decision tonight. I’ve talked to him honestly. He’s working and he’s getting closer to the team.

“I spoke to Ansu Fati quite frankly. It’s not that you speak to the coach and then everything changes the next day, but he’s on the righ🎀t track. I’ve seen a lot of moments where he’s at his best and that’s a level we’re trying to reach again.”

The Barcelona No.10 has made just one start across La Liga, the UEFA Champions League and the🧔 Copa del Rey so far this season – so he does not appear to have much of a future under Flick whatsoever.

It was not long ago that Fati and Tel were widely regarded as two of the most pr𒉰💧ecocious talents around.

Bayern Munich even♛ spent £25m to sign the latter from Rennes at the age of 17 – whereas Barcelona saw enough star potential in Fati to present him with the iconic No.10 shirt vacated by Lionel Messi in 2021.

Barcelona also tied the Spaniard down to 🍨a €1bn (£832m) release clause.

Of course, Tottenham fans are running out of patience, and would prefer to sign ready-made stars instead of talented prospects with huge potential, although the chance to pair Tel and Fati together in attack is a gamble worth taking, as both still have plenty of time on t🎃heir side.
