WITH THE APPOINTMENT OF THOMAS FRANK, THE LILYWHITES WERE IN A POSITION TO HIJACK MBEUMO’S MOVE TO OLD TRAFFORD. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT THE RIGHT-WINGER WOULD BE KEEN TO REUNITE WITH THE FORMER BRENTFORD BOSS. AS A RESULT, THIS GAVE DANIEL LEVY ALL THE AMMUNITION HE NEEDED TO MOVE FOR THE CAMEROONIAN. MBEUMO’S AGENTS MADE PROMISES TO MANCHESTER UNITED.
IT IS COMMONLY BELIEVED THAT LEVY IS NOW FIGHTING A LOSING BATTLE WHEN IT COMES TO MBEUMO.
THE RIGHT-WINGER IS EXPECTED TO JOIN MANCHESTER UNITED THIS SUMMER, WITH A TRANSFER AGREEMENT NOW CLOSE. AS A RESULT, LEVY WILL BE SEARCHING FOR CHEAPER ALTERNATIVES, AND WHILE LILYWHITE ROSE OWNER JOHN WENHAM – SPEAKING EXCLUSIVELY TO TOTTENHAM NEWS – IS FRUSTRATED TO MISS OUT ON MBEUMO, HE BELIEVES CERTAIN PROMISES MIGHT HAVE BEEN MADE, WHICH RULED SPURS OUT OF THE RUNNING. HOWEVER, MANCHESTER UNITED HAVE NOW MOVED AHEAD IN THE RACE FOR HIS SIGNATURE. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW THESE THINGS WORK, PERHAPS PROMISES HAD BEEN MADE BY HIS AGENTS AND THAT KIND OF THING. IT WAS ALWAYS QUITE CLEAR THAT UNITED WANTED MBEUMO, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THEY’RE GOING TO SIGN HIM NOW.
“IT’S QUITE FRUSTRATING, AS HE IS, OF COURSE, BRENTFORD’S BEST PLAYER, AND I DID THINK FRANK COULD CONVINCE HIM TO JOIN TOTTENHAM. HOWEVER, IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE IT WILL WORK OUT THAT WAY, UNFORTUNATELY.”
TOTTENHAM MUST FIND ANOTHER ‘STAR SIGNING’
NOW THAT MBEUMO LOOKS TO BE HEADING TO UNITED, SPURS WILL NEED TO FIND ANOTHER MARQUEE SIGNING.
THE NORTH LONDON CLUB ARE BELIEVED TO BE LOOKING AT SEVERAL PLAYERS. EBERECHI EZE IS ONE NAME THAT HAS BEEN THROWN INTO THE MIX.
THE ENGLISHMAN IS VERSATILE AND PREMIER LEAGUE PROVEN, WHICH COULD BENEFIT TOTTENHAM. XAVI SIMONS IS ALSO LINKED WITH A MOVE TO NORTH LONDON.
THE RB LEIPZIG STAR HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE FANS AND COULD FIT INTO THIS YOUTHFUL SPURS SIDE. HOWEVER, TOTTENHAM WILL NEED TO DECIDE ON EITHER ONE SOON, OR THEY RISK MISSING OUT ON BOTH.
