Report: Spurs enter Lacazette chase

Alexandre-LacazetteTottenham have moved in on Alexandre Lacazette in a bid to beat off further competition from the Irons and Paris St Germain.

However, it seems that Daniel Levy is staking much on the club’s ‘name’ as currently he is believed to have bid just £24m, hoping the player will be wooed by the prospect of Champions League football

That would be around £2m short of the Hammers failed bid although Spurs’ negotiators believe they are getting the right vibes from the player’s advisers.

The Mirror reports that Tottenham are looking to provide competition and back-up for first choice Harry Kane, which may be a concern to Lacazette, although Mauricio Pochettino could also use them as a pair.

However, news that Spurs are allegedly on the case will be bound to re-ignite David Sullivan’s attempts to land the Frenchman.

He’s a hard man to stop once he believes there’s a chance of landing the players he’s after and Lacazette has been Number One on the club’s wanted list for a long time.

  1. I thought it was Batman they wanted a couple of days ago.Truth is they probably want neither.They can have Andy Carroll if they want.

  2. They can have him to be Kane’s backup,he is not worth anymore then we offered and that was to much,
    I hope he has a great Euros drive the price up then they can’t sell him and get stuck with a ****ed off player and agent,
    All getting to greedy in France,we need to look elsewhere,

  3. We should put in a bid for Kane then

  4. As I wrote some days ago I’d be happy if West Ham bought a French striker, there’s a positive tradition in PL. Anyway, I was thinking that if all these rumors are true we may have Batman, Tore of the Avangers, Super Slav is already our manager… we just need Hulk of Zenit Saint Petersburg and then we are invincible… lol 😀

  5. Like most transfer windows as soon as West Ham are linked with anyone within a day or two Spuds are there sniffing about. Why would Lacazette want to sit on their bench or anyone elses?

  6. I don’t think he will end up at Spurs & hope he doesn’t,the lad will make their forward line really dangerous.He is a top talent imo.Some club will benefit from signing him that’s a given.

  7. Talking of Carroll,its summer time,all is tranquil,peaceful & the cricket season is in full swing but still on Wet Socks the arguments continue about Andy Carroll.Do that lot ever give themselves a day off lmao

    • Lmao… you English are crazy about cricket… I don’t even know how it works. 😀

      • Basicaly you pick up a little red ball and throw at 3 little sticks trying to miss the sap standing in the way. Every one wears the same colour and the game can last for 5 days…. by which time no one really gives a sh1t who wins unless it’s against australia 😀

  8. Classic Levy tactics spots a player other teams are interested in then bids well under the asking price and tries to unsettle the player (Berahino for example) what a waste of space Levy is, the one good thing is every time he has spent big the players have all flopped at WHL look at the £100m he wasted after Bale was sold, I think next season the spuds may be like there name sake and be buried never to be picked, would be good to see them relegated. I have a little poem for him
    Levy you should have been arrested by the cops,
    your team is full of flops,
    Before you’ve left the lane,
    No doubt you’ll have to sell Kane,
    As for transfers who would choose you,
    Last years biggest losers,
    As for your songs by Chas and Dave,
    We’ll give them a goodbye wave,
    Tottenhams going to do it again ?
    Your no longer the cream,
    All thats left is Ozzies dream,
    And a season that leaves you in the bottom three!
