Wahala for who no get backup plan o!
Tottenham Hotspur don finally rule out any move to sign Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey after dem waka tire to get Morgan Gibbs-White but still miss am. The North London club dey serious before, say dem go sign one strong, creative midfielder this summer – but as things dey go, e be like say dem dey settle for wetin dem get already.
First of all, make we reason why Spurs dey look for midfielder. After Harry Kane waka last season, Tottenham style of play don dey change. Ange Postecoglou dey try build from midfield, and e need sharp, mobile ballers wey fit press, carry ball, and create chances. Na why Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest bin dey top of their list.
Gibbs-White no be small baller o. The guy tear Premier League last season with swag, energy, and eye for goal. Spurs see am as perfect upgrade for their midfield – especially to partner James Maddison or even give dem more depth. But Forest no gree talk. Dem set heavy price tag, and even when Tottenham reason swap deals or add-ons, Forest still bone.
So as that deal crash, Spurs shift eye go Jacob Ramsey – one of Villa’s top young midfielders. Ramsey, wey be England U21 international, dey known for him powerful runs, box-to-box energy, and eye for goal. Last two seasons, e don establish himself as important player for Unai Emery team.
But now, Tottenham don talk say dem no dey pursue Ramsey again. Reports dey talk say Villa no wan sell, and Ramsey sef dey happy where e dey. Plus, e just return from injury, and Villa still dey count on am for their own big plans – especially now wey dem go play in Europe.
Tottenham dey now face the reality say dem go need look inward or find alternative wey no too cost. As things be, dem still get players like Bentancur, Bissouma, Maddison, and young stars like Pape Matar Sarr and Oliver Skipp. But fans dey complain say dat midfield still need upgrade, especially someone wey go break lines and dey creative.
One Tottenham fan drop for social media:
“Missing Gibbs-White and now pulling out of Ramsey… wetin we dey do exactly? Transfer window dey close o.”
Another one yan:
“I like Ramsey but if Villa no wan sell, no force am. Make we go find player wey really wan join and go improve squad.”
This matter don also raise bigger talk about how Tottenham dey do transfer business. Many fans dey worry say the club no dey aggressive enough or dey waste time for negotiations. Others believe say dem need trust Postecoglou and give am chance to develop young players instead of always chasing big names.
One thing wey sure be say, Tottenham still get time before transfer window close. But if dem no sign better midfielder, pressure go full ground if season start rough.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa dey rejoice say dem hold one of their key boys. Ramsey still young, and if e stay fit, e go play big role as Villa dey prepare for Premier League and European football.
As for Tottenham, e be like say na Plan C or D dem go enter now. Who know? Transfer window fit still surprise everybody.
