Paulo Dybala opens up on his failed Tottenham move last summer

In an interview with CNN, Juventus superstar Paulo Dybala has revealed that there had been talks with Tottenham over a transfer last summer, but he decided to stay put at the Serie A outfit.

Dybala, during his time at Juventus, has grown into one of the most sought-after forwards. The 26-year-old has amassed 91 goals and 36 assists in 216 appearances for the Bianconeri. However, the Argentine came close to leaving the Serie A giants last summer, after having had a poor 2018/19 campaign.

“That’s when I was contacted and there were some clubs that were interested in me. Among those were Manchester United and Tottenham. I think for a long time there were conversations, then Paris Saint-Germain also appeared.”

However, the forward decided to stay put and fight for his place in Turin instead and has been able to rediscover his mojo. So far in 2019/20, he has produced a return of 13 goals and 12 assists in 34 matches in all competitions.

Given his quality, there is no doubt that Dybala would have been a fine addition to our ranks. The sight of him running at defences alongside Harry Kane would have been something to revel.
