Even Nottingham, who remained last, lost to 'Tottenham = the neighborhood, lost again, and the weakest player in the transfer market fell

Tottenham Hotspur has been reduced to the 'neighborhood' of the summer transfer market. Players targeted for recruitment reject Tottenham, and rival teams are undoubtedly targeting Tottenham. Even the team, which barely managed to stay in the lowest ranking last season, lost its target. It's a more painful result than being beaten by a rival team.
Tottenham is likely to miss its goal of recruiting again. Italy's Serie A Fiorentina's main centre-back Nikola Milenkovic has shown interest in strengthening its rear defense, with Nottingham Forest likely to take Milenkovic first.
British media Inside Football reported on the 14th (Korea time) 'Nottingham Forest expects to complete its contract with Milenkovic, Tottenham's target, by next week' It is about Tottenham losing again in the summer transfer market.
Citing the Daily Telegraph's report, the media outlet said Tottenham had shown great interest in Milenkovic to strengthen their defense, but Nottingham made a clear move first. Nottingham has offered Fiorentina 13 million pounds (about 23.3 billion won) to sign Milenkovic and is looking forward to completing the deal, it said.
Fiorentina's club has also not expressed any opposition. As the negotiations have been positive, the Nottingham club expects the contract to be completed around next week. Milenkovic's medical examination will take place soon.

Tottenham originally pushed for a major player reorganization in the transfer market this summer. Coach Enze Postecoglou asked the club to actively recruit players to clean up the disappointment of staying in fifth place at the end of last season after falling behind in the top four and challenge the top of the league.
However, the club's move is not as aggressive as expected. Many players have emerged as targets for recruitment since the beginning of the transfer market, but there are few cases that have actually been done. Tottenham representative Daniel Levy is tight on the budget and rarely executes it. As a result, they continue to miss out on recruiting targets. Even players are avoiding Tottenham. At this rate, a catastrophe could occur next season.
