Report: Spurs willing to break wage structure to sign long-term target

Tottenham Hotspur are surely set to splash the cash this summer after having failed to bring in any new faces in the past 15 months.

Spurs’ last transfer signing came in the form of Lucas Moura from PSG back in January 2018.

However, Tottenham did take the decision to wave goodbye to long-serving central midfield star Mousa Dembele in January this year, as he transferred away to the Chinese Super League.

Spurs have yet to bring in any long-term replacement for the player, who was a permanent fixture in the first team since Pochettino took over five years ago.

Calcio Mercato now claim that PSG could be the source of Spurs’ solution yet again, as they are willing to smash their wage structure to sign wantaway midfielder Adrien Rabiot.

Spurs are said to have been interested in Rabiot for a good while, and even had a bid rejected in January by the midfielder, according to L’Equipe.

TalkSPORT reported Spurs interest in the player way back in 2017.

Rabiot will be available on a free at the end of this season, as his contract expires, so the only fee to contend with would be wages and a potential signing on bonus.

Spurs Web Opinion:

I would not be against bringing Rabiot in on a free, as Pochettino often deals with big personalities well, and could get the best out of him. However, if Spurs would have to break their wage structure, or if they believe Rabiot would cause more damage than good to the dressing room, then Tottenham should stay well away.
