Tottenham did not have a proper release in the transfer market this summer.

Tottenham announced on its official website on the 1st (Korea time) that it had sold Brian Hill to Girona. Girona spent 6 million euros (about 9.8 billion won) to recruit Hill. Tottenham also sent Manor Solomon, another player who has been effectively removed from power, on loan to Villarreal. Solomon left a simple lease with no mandatory recruitment clause.

Tottenham had a laudable time in recruiting Randal Colomuage at the end of the transfer window. Tottenham, who added side destructive power through Mohamed Kudus, brought João Paligna on loan from Bayern Munich to strengthen their midfield. Superstar Xavi Simmons has been recruited to fill the gap between James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski. Colomuani is a resource that can bring diversity to frontline strikers. It's a pity that he couldn't recruit a winger who can replace Son Heung-min, but there's a certain weight in the offense.

What Chairman Levi points out is the release work. Except for Son Heung-min, who decided to part ways with Tottenham on his own, Hill is the only player who sold it properly. The profit from the sale of Hill was only 6 million euros. Considering that Hill was hired for 25 million euros (about 40.8 billion won) in the past, it is a huge loss.

Solomon also failed to sell. Solomon's value is likely to be significantly lower if it is sold again a year later because it is a lease with no mandatory recruitment conditions.

Crucially, Tottenham failed to deal with Yves Bissouma. Bissouma has been the subject of any coach coming this summer. He did not get a passing score in his performance and was not helpful to the team at all, causing problems outside the stadium.

A dagger who was originally likely to rent Galatasaray. However, Galatasaray wanted an immediate player who could play immediately, but negotiations broke down because Bissouma is currently injured. There are still places where the transfer market is open in other leagues, so there is a possibility that Bissouma will find other teams, but if they remain on the team, they will have to release players through free agency next year.

Son Heung-min, who left for 22 million euros (about 36 billion won), gave Tottenham the most profit this summer. If Son Heung-min had remained, Tottenham would have earned only 6 million euros from selling heels.

In fact, it is well known that Tottenham cannot release it. This summer, Sergio Reguilon was released as an FA, which caused the team to lose a lot. Giovanni Lo Celso also sold it for only 5 million euros (about 8.1 billion won), and the worst recruit, Tanguy Ndombele, even paid compensation and released it as an FA.

Tottenham fan Bardi, who writes for the BBC, points out that the strong intervention of Chairman Levi and the image of being a 'person who always engages in the club' have hindered the establishment of long-term relationships. With Levy's personal influence restricting the club's bargaining power, experts point out that Tottenham should take a step back from the negotiation process so that it can focus on running the original soccer club."
