Tottenham Agree Loan Deal for Pape Matar Sarr

Tottenham have agreed a deal with Juventus for Pape Matar Sarr to leave on loan, with a £25.7million option to buy at the end of the season.

The move is part of a late-window reshaping of Roberto De Zerbi’s squad, with Spurs also sanctioning Mikey Moore’s temporary switch to Bundesliga side Koln and left-back Souza’s loan to Porto until the summer.

Spurs are still not done. The club are pushing to sign another attacker before the deadline and remain in negotiations with Everton over Iliman Ndiaye.

In a separate track, Everton are working on a deal to bring Richarlison back to Goodison Park, two years after selling the Brazilian to Tottenham.

Coach's Comments

De Zerbi laid bare the situation over the weekend, confirming that Richarlison, Sarr and Kevin Danso have all asked to leave.

“He said too many times [that] he wants to leave,” the Italian said of Richarlison. “Danso came to me two days ago, and he said he wants to leave, and Pape Sarr, the same, but he suffer[ed] a small injury, but he is almost ready to train.”

The message from the head coach was clear: no one will be forced to stay.

“I love these players, they are great guys, I have very good relationships,” De Zerbi said. “But if they want to leave, they have to bring the solution, the economic solution, to the club, and they can go, and we find other players.”

With players queueing at the exit door and new faces being chased, Tottenham’s final hours of the window promise to be anything but quiet.
