Spurs Web Opinion
We know that Paratici tends to negotiate for several players for each position before making a final decision. So, an inquiry for Gakpo might not necessarily mean that Spurs are likely to follow that up with an offer. If I was a betting man, I would put my money on us singing Richarlison this summer.
