Spurs Transfer News: £20million Bid For Antoine Griezmann

Are Spurs finally ready to splash the cash this summer?

Although Tottenham Hotspur have been very quiet this transfer window with no arrivals being announced as of yet, things may be about to change for Mauricio Pochettino and his new squad. Real Sociedad winger Antoine Griezmann has been linked in the past and he could be moving to London after Spurs have reportedly made a £20 million approach for him today. The French World Cup star has a £24 million buy out clause but Daniel Levy is hoping this offer could persuade Real Sociedad to do an early deal before any other interested clubs become alerted to his availability. The one thing that may damage Spurs hopes of securing the midfielder is their lack of Champions League football. However, with his fellow national team mate Hugo Lloris signing a new five-year contract this could help Griezmann settle at White Hart Lane a lot quicker. This could lead to another flurry of transfer incomings with Swansea's Ben Davies and Michel Vorm also on the horizon before the season starts. Would you be happy to splash £20m on Antoine Griezmann? Is this an area you feel Spurs should be focusing on during this transfer window?
