Spurs owed money for player who never signed

As part of Portsmouth’s massive debt problems, it has emerged that Tottenham are owed £1million for Asmir Begovic.

During the deal to bring Younes Kaboul to the Lane, Spurs had negotiated a double deal which would also see Begovic join the club.

However, the Serbian stopper rejected Spurs in favour of a move to Stoke, but the £1million sell-on clause in the deal remained, despite the fact that Begovic has had no connection with Tottenham.

Spurs are also owed part of the £17.3million that Portsmouth owe in transfer fees.
