Tottenham Hotspur is expected to fail to recruit the player it was aiming for in the transfer market. This is because the player's team stopped negotiating the sale of Lee because they were focusing on selling other players. Tottenham's plan went wrong. But this may be rather good for Tottenham. It is possible to expect a situation in which immediate damage is a future benefit.
British media TBR Football reported on the 14th (Korea time) 'The £75 million superstar that Tottenham was aiming for is not expected to be sold immediately' citing an SNS post by David Onstein The Athletic.
The player who gave Tottenham its frustration was Everton's top defender Jared Branswaite (22). Branswaites was once listed for sale in the transfer market, but now things have changed rapidly. Everton have almost completely closed the negotiating window.
Tottenham, which finished fifth in the league last season, aims to raise its ranking in the 2024-2025 season. To this end, we are going to send out many players and at the same time re-create the squad with new special players. This is the goal of coach Enze Postecoglou.
However, Postecoglou's grand goal has yet to be resolved. So far, he has only recruited teenage wonderkid Archie Gray, known as the 「Special Talent」 from Leeds United. It's time for more effort.
In this situation, news that frustrates Tottenham came out. Tottenham will not be able to recruit Bransweight, the center back that Tottenham has been aiming hard for. Everton have stopped negotiations.

He then tried to recruit Branthwaite. It was quite aggressive. But Everton suddenly changed their position. Everton, who are focused on a deal to sell Amado Onana to Aston Villa for £50m, have no time to worry about another player's transfer. Thus, Branthwaite is known to have been overseas from the list.
Regarding these changes in market conditions, Onstein exclusively reported on his social media that `Everton is unlikely to sell Branthwaite to Manchester United this summer' and predicted that Tottenham could suffer a ' blessing in disguise'.
This is because Tottenham's current top target for recruitment is not defenders. This is because the main duo of Christian Romero and Mickey Van der Pan are in good shape, and there are enough backup resources such as Ben Davies, Radu Dragusin and Ashley Phillips. So there's no need to sign Branthwaite right away. The transfer fee, which is expected to be around 75 million pounds, is also too high. Tottenham can't spend.
Above all, Branthwaite's manhood has failed, and Tottenham will have a future opportunity to survive.
If a deal is signed with Manchester United, Tottenham will have to give up Bransweight's bid altogether. However, Branthwaite's stay at Everton will allow him to offer a new bid in the coming years. In particular, if Tottenham makes it to the UEFA Champions League again, it will be able to offer more attractive transfer conditions for young players such as Branswaite.
As a result, Tottenham have no immediate urgency. The attempt to recruit Branthwaite can be postponed to the next opportunity. On the contrary, it is advantageous.
