Sources: Mendes in talks over three potential Tottenham deadline-day signings
Jorge Mendes is playing a pivotal role on what promises to be a frantic deadline day at Tottenham with multiple potential signings possible, Football Insider has learned.
This site revealed last night the super agent has been given a mandate by Adama Traore to help him secure a move from Wolves to Spurs.
A Tottenham source has told Football Insider that Mendes is also negotiating potential deadline-day deals for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Joao Palhinha and Granada centre-back Domingos Duarte.
Traore appears the most likely of the trio to sign at this stage, with negotiations taking place over various types of structured deals.
Wolves have rebuffed a loan offer from Spurs for the wide man but will listen to permanent offers as well as a loan with an obligation to buy.
Football Insider revealed back in April that Wolves’ number one priority this summer was to sell the lightning-fast wide man.
The winger starred against Manchester United at the weekend and caused plenty of problems for David de Gea as his side lost 1-0.
Super agent Mendes is not just an advisor to Wolves, but also the agent of Nuno, Traore‘s former boss.
It could also be a busy day for outings at Tottenham with this site reporting yesterday that Serge Aurier could leave the club.
It is understood the imminent arrival of Emerson Royal from Barcelona means Spurs as listening to offers for their right-back.
Nuno Espirito Santo has been looking to bolster his defence all summer with Cristian Romero already arriving from Atalanta.
Defensive midfielder Pape Sarr has also joined from Metz though he will remain at the French club on loan for the season.
In other news, pundit claims Tanguy Ndombele will exit Tottenham today but they have just signed a “better version”.
