Poch praise a factor in Barkley change of heart

When it comes to Tottenham transfer rumours at the moment, we aren’t exactly awash with exciting news while frustratingly, the rest of the Premier League seem to be strengthening their squads ahead of the new campaign.

Along with Juan Foyte, Ross Barkley is probably the player who has been most heavily linked with a move to our club over the past few weeks.

We’ve all heard the recent rumours ranging from Spurs willing to pay £25million, while Everton want £50million through to Barkley expecting around £150,00-a-week in wages.

The Evening Standard are reporting that the scouser was initially reluctant to move to London but has now had a change of heart after hearing glowing reports about Mauricio Pochettino from the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Eric Dier and Danny Rose while on international duty.

Barkley currently earns around £60,000-a-week at Everton and is unlikely to be given the same basic wage as Kane and Hugo Lloris who both earn in the region of £100,000-a-week.

Spurs fans are certainly growing unsettled at our lack of activity to date in the transfer market. When will we make our first signing?
