🚨 MOURINHO WON THE RACE 🚨
SPURS LEFT IN THE DUST AS FABRIZIO ROMANO REVEALS TOTTENHAM LONG-TIME STRIKER TARGET IS NOW JOINING FERNABAHCE AFTER MOURINHO’S INTERVENTION.
Tottenham Hotspur have been moderately busy on the transfer front this summer, getting one signing over the line thus far.
Spurs have signed England youth midfielder Archie Gray from Leeds United, with Wales defender Joe Rodon going the other way.
Meanwhile, Lucas Bergvall has finally arrived at Tottenham after a deal was struck between Spurs and Djurgardens in January.
More outgoings could be on the cards at Tottenham over the coming weeks, but there will invariably be those who slip through the net.
Now, according to Fabrizio Romano, a “pure goalscorer” reportedly wanted by Spurs is now set to join Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce instead.
Tottenham target Youssef En-Nesyri now set for Fenerbahce
The player in question is Sevilla forward and Morocco international Youssef En-Nesyri.
Tottenham were said to be ahead of the likes of Manchester United for En-Nesyri, but now it looks like both have missed out.
Romano declared “here we go” on En-Nesyri to Fenerbahce, with terms agreed club-side and player-side for a deal in excess of £17million.
The 27-year-old is now set to travel to Istanbul for his medical with the Champions League outfit, added the transfer insider.

Tottenham set to miss out on ‘devastating’ striker
En-Nesyri would have been a great squad option for Tottenham in their pursuit of a return to the top four.
The 27-year-old is a very talented, prolific and experienced forward in his prime years as a striker.
Breaking the Lines recently published an in-depth analysis article on En-Nesyri.
They described him as a ‘devastating’, ‘reliable and effective’ forward with ‘arguably one of the best leaps in football’.
Meanwhile, Jacek Kulig of Football Talent Scout previously described the reported Tottenham target as a “pure goalscorer”.

Tottenham could certainly do with an out-and-out No. 9 who can clinically convert the chances presented to him.
However, they will now have to look elsewhere, as En-Nesyri is all-but set to join Fenerbahce now.
