‘Great regrets’ as Tottenham move is thwarted – Spurs have a clear path to a January signing.

During the previous transfer window, Turkish media reported that Tottenham Hotspur were interested in signing Galatasaray’s Victor Nelsson.

Fast forward to October, and Haber7 provides context for Tottenham‘s efforts to recruit the 24-year-old.

According to reports, both Spurs and Sevilla made bids of around €20 million, but the Turkish champions turned them down at the request of their manager, Okan Buruk.

This season, the Danish international has made 13 appearances [five in Champions League qualifiers] and has been restricted to a substitute role in the last three games.

Last week, the centre-back revealed his dissatisfaction with his current circumstances and stated that he will not sign a new contract with Galatasaray.
