The story behind how Rasmus Höwelun, 20, an ambitious signing by Eric ten Haag, almost became Son Heung-min’s partner has been revealed.
“There was another English club that was interested in him,” Fabrazio Romano, an expert on the European transfer market, said on his YouTube channel on June 6 (ET). From what I heard, it was Tottenham,” he said.
“Tottenham asked for information about Hoyun in July. They asked Atalanta and the player about the terms of the deal. “At that time, Harry Kane’s move to Bayern Munich had not been finalized. “At the time, Harry Kane’s move to Bayern Munich was not finalized. Kane’s move happened in the second half of the August transfer window.”
The Danish international joined Italian Serie A side Atalanta in August last year and showed promise in the Serie A last season, scoring nine goals in 32 appearances.
United had hoped to sign Kane in the summer transfer window, but when that fell through, they turned their attention to Hooper. United signed him for £72 million.
Romano claimed that the player insisted on moving to United: “It was his dream to move to United, so he could focus on the transfer,” he said.
“After Kane’s departure, Tottenham decided to look for a different style of player after discussions with manager Enze Postecoglou, so they chose a resource like Brennan Johnson. The expectation was that Johnson is a versatile player who can help in a number of different positions.” Spurs are happy with the signing of Johnson and United are happy with the signing of Mkhitaryan.”
Tottenham signed Johnson on the final day of the summer transfer window for a fee of £47.5 million. At 1.79 meters, he is blessed with pace. He can play both in the center and on the flanks.
After being sidelined by injury since joining United, Hoi Lun made his ‘tardy EPL debut’ against Arsenal on the 4th. But the first step was heavy. Hui Lun came on as a 22nd minute substitute in the second half, but it wasn’t enough as the team lost 1-3.
