'Total blessing in disguise': Some Spurs fans praise Nuno for 'excellent' £23m transfer decision
Nuno Espirito Santo was reportedly key to Tottenham pulling out of the race for Olympique Lyonnais defender Joachim Andersen.
According to L’Equipe, the Portuguese manager personally ended the club’s chase for the Danish centre-back. As reported by BT, Andersen is now set to join Crystal Palace in a €27m (£23m) deal.
At the start of the window, the former Fulham loanee was one of Tottenham’s top defensive target. However, the appointments of Fabio Paratici and Nuno have seen transfer plans change.
