'Shock! Tottenham is a team that avoids it?' A series of targets for recruitment are willing to refuse to go to Tottenham. Chairman Levi needs to make a decision

Tottenham Hotspur, which predicted a storm in the summer transfer market, faced unexpected difficulties.
This is because there is an atmosphere in which players targeted for recruitment refuse to transfer to Tottenham in turn. It can be interpreted as a result of Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy's dissatisfaction with the way the team is run, or distrust of coach Enze Postecoglou, who failed to advance to the UEFA Champions League.
As the transfer market is in full swing, at least four players have directly or indirectly expressed their intention not to go to Tottenham. The most shocking news was the choice of Ivan Toney (Brentford) to recruit Tottenham as a front-line striker in recent months.

Tony's expression of intention to be all the rage, which was considered one of the biggest fish in the transfer market this summer, is a bolt out of the blue for Tottenham, which has worked hard on recruiting in recent months. Postecoglou suffered from a lack of front-line strikers in his team last season. As a desperate measure, he had no choice but to entrust wing forward Son Heung-min to play the role of the front-line one-top.

This atmosphere has already been observed in several players earlier. The same goes for Ricardo Calafiori, the leading defender of Italy's Serie A Bologna. Tottenham pushed for recruitment, but Calafior turned a blind eye to it. TBR Football reported on the 7th that `Kalafior chose Arsenal over Tottenham's offer.' Negotiations for joining the team are almost in the final stages.
'The refusal rush to Tottenham' does not stop there. Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, who Tottenham was trying to combine with Son Heung-min as a left winger, is also in the mood to choose to stay at Crystal Palace instead of transfer, and Desiree Doue, a 19-year-old top prospect in French Ligue 1 Stadren, is also known to want to move to Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), not Tottenham, according to recent reports.

It will only happen if the club shows a clear vision or pays a sufficient price financially. The recent "Tottenham avoidance atmosphere" that has appeared in the transfer market shows that Tottenham is recognized as a club that cannot pay players a clear vision or financial price.
In order to complete the complete reorganization of the squad that Postecoglou wants, chairman Levi must eventually accept the market atmosphere and show a changed appearance. Otherwise, Tottenham will have to remain the loser of the transfer market.
