He should be worth more than that.
But one problem, of course, is that apart from EPL clubs few clubs have much money to spend.
I would presume that Spurs included a sell-one percentage, etc.

That's ok, he's got time, we identify the talent at this age it pays off later.
We bought him for 20m, it was a punt that hasn't worked out, not much of a financial loss.
£21.6m plus Erik Lamela, so closer to £30m.
Anyway, losses are also part of football business.
From the Saudi deserts to the hookers and hash of the Dam.
Buying any player there is a certain risk involved but particularly when it comes to flair players.
Leon Bailey comes to mind. After his first season at Leverkusen, back in 2017-18, he was seen as one of most promising WFs and Real M. were among the clubs said to be interested in him and his price was quoted to be close to €60-70m+.
Then you got Antony and David Neres...
How does the Belgian league compare to PL2?
City had kids like Foden, Palmer and now Bobb go from PL2 straight to first team with no loans. Bobb is Norwegian and went straight to City.
If you are good enough you will get a chance.
If he’s not ready you can send him to Italy on loan and he’s still younger than 20 and his whole career ahead of him.
You can bet you life he never sold his home in Cheshire(?) and his missus is there right now with her mum and his kids and he will be staying in a hotel UFN.
Hard to say who's more talented but I think Devine's a lot more ready. Donley could do with a loan or two
Interesting I just looked at the Eredivisie table, Ajax are 5th now, 5 points off Europa. Mad considering they were bottom of the table a few weeks ago.

I said in the summer when everyone was pissing themselves about the Saudis taking over world football it was bollocks.
Football isn't fucking golf. You can't just buy 30 players and take over the sport.
Pretty sure this Neymar thing isn’t true. Reports suggesting it’s to clear a foreign space in the squad as he won’t play again this season due to injury. Doubt it would be financially prudent to just cancel his contract.
Doesn’t matter. Lad is going to be class. Get him in, loan back, and maybe he goes out on loan again next season too.
Japan set up a plan to become a force in world football, winning a world cup, but they set an estimate of 100 years. And they are probably ahead of schedule.
Japan and the 100-year vision
In 1991, Japanese football was at its lowest point. Their top flight was played by amateurs and the football association knew something needed to be done.

How about a Norwegian in the Austrian league?
I don’t know the kid from Adam but if you’re good enough it doesn’t matter where you’re from.
Interesting. According to O'Keefe we were looking for a CM.
