Sale of former player nets Spurs £3.5m

Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Giovani dos Santos has joined Villarreal on a four-year deal.

Why do I care? Is what you’re probably asking yourself right now. Well, Daniel Levy has once again showed his business acumen by netting us £3.5million of the transfer fee which Villarreal have paid to sign the Mexican.

When Dos Santos was sold to Mallorca last summer, a 50% future sell-on clause was included in the contract which has given us half of the £7million fee.

Another shrewd piece of business, but only if the money is given to Baldini and AVB to land us a decent striker. We were all on a high last week following the signing of Paulinho and the club need to follow up by delivering us a world class forward before the new season kicks off.
