One could argue that this would be another addition to a young and solid core of Gabriel, Saliba, Balogun, Martinelli, Saka and Smith-Rowe and we’re properly building towards the future. But with how the past 1,5 years have gone none of that is probably true.
I don’t think the Bell says anything about a proper link between us and Camavinga btw. Bit of general terms that the player might be interested. A lot different than with Partey so probably nothing in it.
Do these ITK’s really know much more than anyone else or is it just guesswork from information they’ve got from the media?
If I say I think we’re going to buy Odegaard and Neto, spurs will get 140m from Man City for Kane and we won’t be buying Maddison or Ramsdale, that doesn’t sound very impressive.
But if I say:
Arsenal ITK
Someone close to Arsenal has revealed to me that Leicester have refused to shift on their 70m valuation of Maddison.
So Arteta is fully focused on getting Odegaard and this transfer will be done before the end of the window.
The same source also told me that Ramsdale could still be on, if Sheffield United drop their price to nearer 20m, but Arsenal are now looking at Neto as an option as cover for Leno.
I have also been told from a reliable contact at Man City that they have agreed personal terms with Kane and will pay spurs up to 140m, and he will become a Man City player before their PL game against Arsenal.
That sounds like I actually do have inside information.
The guess I’ve made is just as likely to happen as what some supposed ITK on Twitter has said.
