"Spurs are ready to bring in Cucurella, who moved to the Blues from Brighton last summer for £55 million (€65m) as a replacement for veteran Croatia international Ivan Perisic."
"New Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou wants to bring the 24-year-old in to play alongside Yves Bissouma in the new system he wants his team to play next season.
Postecoglou, who is very much an attack minded manager sees Cucurella as someone who can play not only as a wing-back but also a player who can feature as an inverted full-back, which will allow Bissouma to push further forward and possible new signing Micky van de Ven to move across into left-back."
Cucurella is a prime product and example of giving a manager with abject talent ID, full control of transfers.
Doing away with Cucurella + Lukaku permanently, signing top first-choice
'keeper...avoiding Veiga, Vlahovic, and retaining the remaining established academy graduates turns window into a TEN (Regardless of midfield acquisition).
Not beyond the realms of possibility that comes to fruition, a lot can happen between now and the conclusion of the window in September (ideally all incomings and outgoings completed by the time squad travels to the states).
🚨Divine intervention?!🚨

Forever indebted to Postecoglou, if he pulls this one off.

Cucurella was signed for £62m and not £55m, only in August - so less than a year.
This is from Chelsea Chronicles:
==================
Chelsea signed the 24-year-old from Brighton for a sum of £62m back in August 2022, and put him on a contract worth £175,000-a-week.

Except when it works (i.e. the last 20 years), then we're ruining football because it's cheating.
It's almost like Spurs fans are full of sh!te to me
