Rodrigo Bentancur has revealed that Uruguayan international team-mate Luis Suarez ‘intervened’ to assist in his January move to Tottenham, having previously offered advice to Steven Gerrard.
Bentancur joined Spurs in a £21.5million deal from Juventus on deadline day, having won three Serie A titles during a five-year spell in Turin.
The Uruguayan international had featured in 26 games for Juve this season, but still departed the Italian giants to move to the Premier League and join Spurs.
