Transfer Rumour: Tottenham look set to lose out on Belhanda to Fenerbahce
Transfer Gossip: 09/01/13
Who:- Younes Belhanda (Montpellier)
To:- Tottenham, Fenerbahce
Extra:- Fenerbahce look set to beat Tottenham for the
signature of the Moroccan attacking midfielder. Montpellier have placed a £12m
price tag on the player.
Opinion:- Belhanda always looked set to leave during this transfer window
after Montpellier finished bottom of their Champions’ League group this season.
The current Liege 1 title holders haven’t been living up to their performances
last season and currently sit 11th the French Ligue 1. I do like
what Belhanda can bring to the table and the skilful and technically gifted
player is exciting to watch. He is known for his superb vision when
playing and I would love to see Belhanda play for Tottenham but they are yet to
have made a bid. Fenerbahce have already had a bid of around £6m rejected for
the player. Motpellier president said on the Guardian "I will let him
leave, and I think he wants to leave as well. If they rise to €15m, everything
will go through". I expect that Fenerbahce will make a bid of around £10m within
the coming days to tie up the midfielder before Tottenham can make an offer themselves
after rumours that this would be enough for Montpellier to part with one of their
key players.
