Yesterday, we covered the transfer deadline day speculation that linked Michy Batshuayi with a surprise move, across London, to Tottenham Hotspur.
Our article Click Here, covered the speculation that was being bandied about suggesting that Tottenham Hotspur had been purposely put-off when it comes to completing the deal by Chelsea raising the loan fee to a very steep £8 million.
However, this morning, further information has come to light, in the media, that suggests the loan fee was something that Tottenham, desperate to add to an injury depleted strike-force, were willing to pay, according to the Sun, with the deal only being halted when Chelsea stepped in and decided it wasn’t a wise thing to loan somebody to a side that they consider to be one of their rivals for a top-four finish.
