Every transfer window sees a few unexpected moves happen, but we doubt many saw Dier joining Bayern Munich or Jordan Henderson heading to Ajax. Wright finds the latter hard to accept.
Martin-Odegaard-League of Champions
Martin Odegaard, the captain of Arsenal, has praised the man who Millwall turned down the opportunity to sign, but Tottenham Hotspur are currently in talks to sign him.
Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou will appreciate the team’s straightforward approach to the January transfer window, particularly in light of the Australian’s outspoken call for chairman Daniel Levy to make swift decisions.
It is unusual for Spurs compared to prior years that the midfielder Timo Werner and the defender Radu Dragusin signed contracts in the first half of January.
Behind-the-scenes, Postecoglou’s influence seems to be increasing, particularly in light of Tottenham’s fantastic 2023–2024 season start.
Postecoglou stated that he would prefer the Lilywhites to make additions as soon as possible, arguing that this will increase the chances of short-term success for both Spurs and the newcomers.
Tottenham may not be done after the signings of Werner and Dragusin, either, as reports suggest Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher is a player of real interest to Postecoglou.
Elsewhere, it has been reported that Spurs have opened talks over a buy-to-loan-back deal for Club Brugge winger Antonio Nusa.
Although many consider the 18-year-old to be a budding star, Tottenham News has provided some fascinating information on the club’s pursuit of Nusa.
Signing Nusa was rejected by Millwall prior to Spurs negotiations.
The report claims that before Spurs started negotiations last month, Millwall, a rival team in London, turned down Nusa’s offer, with the rejection being made again in 2021.
since Nusa makes an impression for Brugge and Norway, it’s reasonable to say Millwall will be regretting their decision since their London rivals could have acquired him for about £420,000.
The kid is now valued at approximately £25 million, and Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has described him as a “incredibly exciting” athlete. Technical director Johan Lange is personally pursuing a deal for him.
