Tottenham shouldn’t pursue injury prone Douglas Costa, Ryan Fraser would represent better business

Tottenham Hotspur moved into their new home last night, winning 2-0 over Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

With their only hopes of silverware an outside chance in the Champions League, eyes will be fixed on Spurs next season in the quest for trophies.

Having not signed a player for two seasons, boss Mauricio Pochettino will hope to go spending in the summer.

One man who has been linked with Spurs is Juventus winger Douglas Costa, according to Italian newspaper Tuttosport.

The 28-year-old is currently nursing a hamstring problem that has sidelined him since February.

It hasn’t been a great season for the Brazilian who has netted just one goal and contributed two assists in 24 appearances.

According to Tuttosport, Juventus want to recoup more than the £34.1 million which they paid Bayern Munich for his services last summer.

That doesn’t seem like great value for money.

Costa hasn’t really done a deal at the Old Lady and another man would represent a better signing for Spurs.

Bournemouth’s Ryan Fraser has also been linked with a move to North London, according to The Express.

Fraser is three years the junior of Costa whilst he would get the move on the back of some solid form in the Premier League.

There is no evidence that the Brazilan would be up to the demands of the English top-flight, whilst his hamstring is also a cause for concern.

Fraser, paid £27k-a-week at Bournemouth (Spotrac), has contributed seven goals and 11 assists this season for the Cherries.

The Scot isn’t a renowned name as Costa is, but on current form, he would represent much better value for money.
