Thibaut Courtois admits Tottenham showed interest​

Spurs fans can now add another name to the list of top players the club have missed out on, with Thibaut Courtois admitting that the North London side tried to sign him when he was at Genk.

The Belgian international has since had a glittering career, winning a whole host of trophies at Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, and Real Madrid, and being capped over 100 times for his country.

The 32-year-old revealed on the Rio Ferdinand Presents YouTube channel: “When I was at Genk, starting to do something decent, obviously there was some interest from Tottenham, some interest from Chelsea, some other teams from other countries.

“Obviously, Chelsea at that moment had the project for me in the long-term, basically because David [De Gea] was going to Manchester [United], it opened the door for me to go on loan to Atletico [Madrid].”
 
Transfer plans should be on hold for the summer. Until we know if we're playing 40-45 games or 50-60 games, we cannot build our squad for 25/26 season.

I also think it is a given that Ange won't be here next season, and the new manager will need to have input into how we shape the squad with or without Europe.
