I will not play again: Tottenham Hotspur key player has decided to quit due to…

Tottenham Hotspur have teed up a potentially exciting deal for the future with the summer transfer window now over.

Tottenham Hotspur fans didn’t have much to shout about over the weekend.

Deadline day came and went without any new arrivals and Sunday saw Tottenham lose 2-1 to Newcastle United despite dominating the game.

Tottenham supporters did see one player move on though as Giovani Lo Celso signed for Real Betis.

The Argentinian just hasn’t lived up to expectations since joining from Betis in 2019 and now heads back to La Liga to kickstart his career.

Lo Celso’s exit barely registered on the Tottenham radar given his general lack of impact at the club but there was one point of intrigue.

Spanish media on potentially Tottenham Hotspur-bound Johnny Cardoso

Tottenham struck an intriguing deal as part of Lo Celso’s departure.

Tottenham have negotiated a first option on Johnny Cardoso as part of Lo Celso’s return to Betis.

Spurs can now activate that option on Cardoso by next summer and bring the United States international to North London.

If Spurs decide not to sign Cardoso, they still claim a percentage of any fee Betis bring in when they do sell him elsewhere.

Spurs had been silent on the deal but Betis president Angel Haro has confirmed that Tottenham can sign Cardoso.

That is a fascinating move and Cardoso was actually in action on Sunday night as Betis faced Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Cardoso didn’t start the game but came off the bench as Kylian Mbappe’s brace handed Real a 2-0 win.

Tottenham fans will be fascinated to know how their potential future midfielder fared, but the Spanish press gave mixed views.

El Desmarque gave Cardoso just a four out of 10 rating, suggesting that he doesn’t quite look the same as he did last season.

“He is not quite the same as last season, with errors with the ball and sometimes arriving late,” they wrote
