Manchester United could sign world class Real Madrid target for under €200 million due to a special clause and more Premier League transfer news February 3, 2019
Hello and welcome to the Premier League latest transfer news and rumours of the day! Here are the top stories of the night surrounding the English clubs…
#5 North London
We start off today with a bit on north London. Tottenham have now managed to go two transfer windows without buying a single player. Even then, however, they find themselves at number two, much to the credit of the players and the manager.
As a result, former Bayern Munich star Owen Hargreaves thinks that the achievements of Mauricio Pochettino are amazing since almost every player he puts trust on helps them someway on the pitch.
“The fact they are second is a stunning achievement,” he said.
“It shows how good a job Pochettino is doing. Every player that steps in seems to do a job.”
Hargreaves then added that Spurs squad is already so good that only adding world class players could possibly improve them. He also predicted that Pochettino likes players with a great character and personality and finished off by claiming that Wilfried Zaha would be a great addition for the London outfit.
“Maybe the only way they are going to get better is with a genuine world-class player.
“He [Pochettino] only wants a player of high character. I think he wants people to fit in and not upset the balance.
“I would like to see Zaha at Tottenham.”
Meanwhile, Arsenal manager Unai Emery has quashed claims of Mesut Ozil’s importance further diminishing with the arrival of Denis Suarez. According to the former Sevilla manager, Suarez was brought to play on the wings.
“It’s no change for him. [Suarez] is coming here because we have a lot of problems on the wing, we haven’t got players to play right or left – that is the reason,” he said.
