“Talking to Tottenham” – Journalist drops big claim on agent who has good relationship with Levy

Tottenham Hotspur will not be the only side that super-agent Jorge Mendes is ‘talking to’ ahead of the summer transfer window, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

Recent reports have suggested that the Portuguese super-agent is working on behalf of the capital club as manager Antonio Conte looks to bolster his attacking options.

The report states that Mendes has ‘held talks’ over Benfica’s Darwin Nunez and AS Roma’s Tammy Abraham as both youngsters have enjoyed a stellar 2021/22 campaign to date.

For large parts of last summer, it seemed as though Kane was destined to join reigning Premier League champions Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola even revealing they had up to four bids rejected.

However, it’s the Cityzens’ local rivals Manchester United who now appear to be in pole position for the England international’s signature, and the possible appointment of Mauricio Pochettino could play a big part in Kane’s thinking.

Mendes is one of the most prominent figures in elite-level football and has a host of star names on his books, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Angel Di Maria and Bernardo Silva.
