Daniel Levy has been the orchestrator of his fair share of odd decisions during his time as Tottenham Chairman.
Levy has signed off on several failed additions at Tottenham, which has lowered his stock among supporters.
There was a suggestion that the 63-year-old had turned over a new leaf after he declared his desire for Tottenham to win the Premier League and UEFA Champions League.
However, it appears as though not much has changed, as yet another transfer decision made by Levy has now been called into question.
Tottenham agree deal to sign Kōta Takai
Tottenham have reportedly agreed a £5million deal to sign Japanese defender Kōta Takai from J1 League side Kawasaki Frontale.
MORE SPURS STORIES
The 20-year-old is expected to join the first team and will arrive at Tottenham next month. Takai’s signing seems to indicate Spurs’ commitment to developing talent and building their young core.
However, Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – has questioned the reasoning behind this transfer, claiming that Spurs are well-stocked at centre-back.
“I find this signing quite strange if I’m being honest,” Wenham said.
“The centre-back position is probably the strongest when it comes to our squad depth. We have the likes of Ashley Phillips, Alfie Dorrington, and Luka Vušković to come in, too.
“It’s a position we’re quite well covered in. However, Tottenham are always looking to sign the best young talent around, and it has worked well with someone like Lucas Bergvall. Therefore, hopefully he does well, and I’m sure Thomas Frank will take a look in pre-season.”
Romero could remain at Tottenham
Romero has been heavily linked with a move to Atletico Madrid this summer.
However, there is little to suggest that Levy would replace Romero with someone young and inexperienced in the Premier League. As good as Takai may be, it is unlikely he walks straight into the starting lineup.
As such, his signing could indicate that the Argentine will remain in North London next season. Therefore, Spurs supporters could be heading into the UEFA Champions League with their most prized defender.
