Reporter claims Tottenham target Arne Slot is not keen on staying at Feyenoord
According to Veronica Offside (via Voetbal Zone), Genee has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur target Arne Slot is not keen on staying at Feyenoord beyond this season.
Slot has been a revelation since his arrival at Feyenoord from AZ Alkmaar. His team is currently on the brink of winning the Eredivisie title ahead of Ajax. The tactician has gained praise from across the footballing world for his tactical acumen.
It emerged recently that Slot was keen on staying at the Dutch club beyond this season. However, Genee now has refuted the claims and in fact says that the manager is looking to move.
The reason for Slot’s eagerness to leave is reportedly due to fears that Feyenoord won’t be able to compete at the highest level. With his reputation on the line, he wants to move on ‘as soon as possible’.
Tottenham Hotspur could be the perfect destination for Slot, as they are said to be willing to invest heavily in his appointment. They need a manager who can build a project from scratch and make the team competitive.
Speaking about the situation, here is what Genee had to say regarding Arne Slot and his time at Feyenoord.
“I heard from people last week that he will not stay anyway. He does not want to run the risk that things can go very badly in the Champions League and that he will no longer be in the picture with the big clubs He wants to go as soon as possible be financially independent, which is easier at a big club”
If Tottenham Hotspur is able to secure the services of Arne Slot, it could be a major coup for the North London club. Slot has shown that he has the ability to get the best out of his players and his tactical nous is second to none.
However, he does not have experience in handling the big names and is also not familiar with the rigours of the Premier League. How he adapts to this could go a long way in shaping his future.
