Tottenham handed massive blow

ಌThe move from Chelsea to make Kounde their main target has handed Tottenham a big blow.

ꦰA move for the 22-year-old was already close to impossible due to the club’s status in Europe. However, the lack of competition in the race to sign the defender made a Spurs move possible.

꧑But, the hope seems to have evaporated into thin air with Chelsea allegedly opening talks. The Blues’ Champions League qualification surely makes them an attractive prospect for the youngster.

🉐Having won the competition, there is also the very real prospect of winning major trophies; something that has eluded Tottenham over the last 13 years.
