Tottenham should sign Chiesa before the summer window opens

Tottenham’s chairman Mr. Daniel Levy needs to be proactive in helping manager Mauricio Pochettino arrest the clubs current slump before it goes from bad to worse.

Tottenham need to be doing everything that they can to arrest this slump at the moment and that means some proactive work on the behalf of the board and Daniel Levy himself. They are lucky that Zinedine Zidane re-signed with Real Madrid in a move that will likely effect his legacy given the pit that club is falling into. In order to avoid a similar sort of ice age and given that Tottenham have nowhere near that amount of money it would be much longer and much colder for the North London club.

In order to simply add some positivity to the club, the air and the support Tottenham should make the signing of Fiorentina’s Frederico Chiesa before the summer happens. No he won’t be able to join the team. No he won’t kick a ball for the club before the summer but that’s not what matters here.

It clearly isn’t about quality or coaching. The team is one of the best in the world and Pochettino is one of the best as well. There’s not a single club in the world that wouldn’t want Mauricio. But a club is about more than what is on the field and in the training ground and people are worried. This is the sort of thing that a proactive leader should do.

Chiesa will improve the team next season without fail. He’s one of the best players in Serie A and would give the entire team a lift. It would take 70 million euros to pry him away from the Florentine club and that’s exactly the sort of thing that Tottenham can now afford.

The reason why all of this is necessary is because Tottenham are on the verge of falling out of the top-4 with this slump and it’s not something the club can afford. With the new stadium and the rising wage bill Tottenham were always betting on becoming a Champions League regular. One year out of the Champions League quickly becomes two. Two becomes three.

Look at Chelsea and the ridiculous state that other London club is in. In 2012 they won the competition and now they’ve missed out three times in four years and Tottenham have nowhere near the reserves of capital that Chelsea do.

One year missing it results in a diminished reputation, which then becomes a lower quality in signings, which then becomes lower league finishes and as you see again another missed Champions League. All the while things become more expensive to fix and yet there is less money to do it with.

Now I’ve never been one to discount the lengths of my own genius in terms of footballing intellect but I don’t believe that I am alone in knowing this either. Daniel Levy surely if he has managed to earn his way to the top of a club as important in football as Tottenham knows this as well.

There is no debate to be had to here. He must be proactive and help his manager save his team. This ivory tower of isolation treatment is not working. The results show that. A hearty uplift for everyone around the club as they move into the new stadium for the end of the season should arrest this slump, improve moral, get the team moving ahead of schedule for the forthcoming season as well as add one of the most in demand players in European football to the team.

Tottenham must add Frederico Chiesa to the team. It is only a question of how soon.
