  • Tottenham became the first Premier League team not to sign a single player over the summer since the transfer window was created in 2003.

    Mauricio Pochettino claims that Brexit has made things too costly for a club that has just built a new stadium and training ground. Spurs could now be getting ready for ‘Dexit’ (or Rexit?) as speculation surrounds left-back Danny Rose.

    The England defender has long fallen down the pecking order at Tottenham, with Ben Davies now the established option on the left, leading Bundesliga side Schalke to enquire about a loan deal earlier this month.

    But according to The Sun, Rose is holding out for a move to a star-studded Paris Saint-Germain.

    Though the Premier League deadline has come and gone, there’s still three weeks left in the European transfer window to thrash out a deal – likely on a loan basis.

    It does seem unlikely, however. Rose at the very least is a fine back-up and, given that Tottenham have not signed anyone, may need to hold on to him just for homegrown rule purposes.
