If there was one thing I was most concerned about this summer, it was Tottenham doing better business than us. As much as it pains me to say it, a top stadium, a top manager and UEFA Champions League qualification can go a long way when convincing quality players to join.
Let me just clarify, we are not at that stage yet, far from it. The window has only just opened and there is a long, long way to go. However, the longer Arsenal take to complete a deal and the quicker Spurs are in doing just that, the more the pressure and anger can grow.
Especially today, with various reports surfacing that Antonio Conte is closing in on a move for Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder, Yves Bissouma. It is understood that the 25-year-old is set to sign a five-year contract and will undergo a medical on Thursday to complete the move.
