Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing Hertha Berlin teenager Boris Lum, with Bayern Munich also tracking the midfielder.

The 16-year-old has emerged as one of the most exciting talents in Germany, with Lum training on numerous occasions with the Hertha first-team and catching the eye of scouts and coaches.

Lauded by Tagesspiegel as an ‘extremely talented’ midfielder, Lum is close to making his professional debut with Hertha, yet Tottenham might now beat the German side to the punch.

According to Bild, the north London side are interested in Lum, though Tottenham already face some stern competition for the teenager’s signature, with Bayern, Ajax and Bayer Leverkusen all in the mix.

With RB Salzburg also interested in signing Lum, the battle to recruit the 16-year-old could be an epic one in the coming months, especially if Tottenham continue to push for the teenager.

Yet with so many top European clubs with proven development track records interested in Lum, this could be one war that Tottenham might have to concede defeat in already.

Whilst the Premier League is an appealing destination for any player, Tottenham should realise by now that signing Lum will be no easy task.

With Bayern, Ajax and Salzburg interested in the midfielder, the Hertha wonderkid already has three outstanding options that could help unlock Lum’s potential to the absolute fullest.

Moreover, with Tottenham in a transitional phase, Lum might realise that it could be years before he makes his professional debut for the north London side.

As a result, the teenager might be better off either staying with Hertha or making a move to an Ajax or Salzburg, where his development could accelerate at an incredible rate.
 
Kane coming back is never going to happen, but even if it could, we’d be paying more than we sold him for.

He’s only six months older, but has a longer contract and is presently enjoying a record breaking season.

Cash flow is what most businesses run on - that's why Kulusevski, although be arrived in Jan 2022 with options/obligations it was agreed the transfer fees are being paid now not back in 2022, etc. Called kicking the can down the road in non accounting language

My guess is Ndombele's fees have largely been impaired as he's been on loan and not part of the main squad - main issue now is his wages. If he leaves now we write off whatever his value is in balance sheet, otherwise we review it when preparing the next accounts to 30 June 24. But unless we are lucky he runs the contract down completely - but if we are lucky and the rumours are true he goes back to France without us needing to pay the majority of remaining wages : but sadly think we will still to pay most wages as no other club will want to try to pay most of tyhem.

For PSR it is the Balancesheet accounts that matter. Yes most clubs unless run by a sugar daddy run on cash flow but with PSR you have to be careful when it comes to the amortisation of transfers. The fact is Chelsea can only afford the Billion Pounds Spent because of Amortisation over 8 seasons on Transfers and the fact that Abrhamovic ensured that part of the sale value was money set aside in Escrow. If the Premier League did what they should of done this season and ruled that transfers can only be amortised over 5 years because that was the standard practice of all clubs but Chelsea in the PL it would have fucked Chelsea and probably crashed the Transfer Market because they would have needed to get what they could for Gallagher and Colwill.

I think he has it in his head that he'll come back for one last swan song at Spurs and maybe win a trophy, I think he was probably assuming we'd be stuck in a mid-table wasteland for the next 4 or 5 years and the footing would be set for him to come back a hero. If we keep trending up he probably will never come back, especially if that is at 35+, I know he is a club legend and all but I'd rather not be spending significant sums on garnishing Kane's already rather sizeable pension fund.
