Tottenham Hotspur reportedly tempted Liverpool’s midfielder Adam Lallana to move the club in the upcoming 2019 season. Interestingly, this moment occurred ahead of the duel between the two teams in the Champions League final.
Liverpool and Spurs will meet in the 2018/19 Champions League final. The duel between the two English clubs will be held at the upcoming Wanda Metropolitano Stadium on Sunday (05/30/2019).
Interestingly, ahead of the duel, the Spurs were widely called to be interested in buying Adam Lallana. Quoted from Sportsmole, Spurs are interested in bringing the 31-year-old player to strengthen the midfield next season.
Lallana himself is not an important player in the Liverpool squad. The Englishman was unable to compete with Wijnaldum or Naby Keita for the Reds midfield position. Lallana was more familiar with the bench.
In the 2018/19 season, Lallana only played 13 matches in the Premier League. From this note, he is only five times believed to appear as a core player.
Seeing the situation of Lallana who felt frustrated at Liverpool, Spurs came up with a tantalizing offer. Manager Mauricio Pochettino prepares to give Lallana more minutes of play if he is willing to move.
Tottenham Hotspur is not the type of club that will spend large funds to buy players in the transfer market. Because of this, they are usually selective in determining game players, including in the case of Adam Lallana.
Quoted from Sportsmole, Lallana’s name appeared because Spurs already knew very well what the 31-year-old player could do.
Although this 2018/19 season he was not the first choice at Liverpool, but Spurs did not doubt the quality. Because, Mauricio Pochettino had worked with Lallana while at Southampton.
Pochettino knows very well what Lallana can give. Therefore, he did not hesitate to submit his name to the directors of Spurs to buy. And, Lallana is believed not to refuse the offer to play with The Lily White.
