Unsurprisingly, following The Times's report on Tuesday morning that Tottenham had agreed on a £25m deal for Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma, some Chelsea minds were already growing with frustration that another potential target had slipped through the club's fingers.
I have already written about how perceived inactivity does not always equate to actual inactivity, and in this case, the lack of reported interest from Chelsea in Bissouma should lessen any simmering fury.
Bissouma has certainly impressed at the AMEX but losing out on him is nowhere near the blunder of waiting a year to sign Aurelien Tchouameni, just announced as a Real Madrid player.
