L’Equipe, like many European sport newspapers, hold Daniel Levy in contempt much of the time.
Tottenham’s tough guy chief simply won’t let his club lose out on a penny of a transfer fee wherever possible and whilst that has caused frustration for fans at times, it’s almost certainly a big reason reason players including Kane and Eriksen are still at the club.
When the approach can seem a little strong is for a player Tottenham really don’t see a future for, and that’s the case with Georges-Kevin Nkoudou.
The 20 year old had a difficult transfer to Spurs and never got the chance to show all the effort and hard talks had been worth it. A loan to Burnley last season didn’t do enough to bring in a queue of buyers ready to fight and now it’s only really clubs looking for a gamble option who seem keen.
L’Equipe report Sevilla have had the player as an option and have been negotiating a loan with Tottenham. However, the ‘financial demands’ of ‘facetious’ Daniel Levy have seen the Spanish club cool the track.
Nkoudou is just one of several options for Sevilla and they’re not going to pay over the odds for a rental period.
