Tottenham: Pundit discusses Mourinho’s impact on Spurs
Tottenham had serious interest in signing Timothy Castagne before his move to Leicester but the wing-back's father has revealed Spurs were unable to stump up the cash to make a deal happen. Castagne has proven to be a versatile player in Serie A in being able to play on both sides of defence.
“[Timothy] conducted a video conference with Jose Mourinho, but Tottenham had to sell Serge Aurier first,” Pierre Castagne told Het Nieuwsblad.
“With a little more money they could have made an offer, like Leicester.”
Castagne's father went on to state how his son had always dreamt of a move to the Premier League.
And his failed move to Tottenham may well have had something to do with Castagne's previous allegiance to Arsenal as a young boy.
