These Fabio Paratici signings are massively enhancing the Italian’s reputation among Tottenham Hotspur supporters.
The Lilywhites look set to enjoy their best transfer window for a long time this summer.
With Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster already signed up for free, Tottenham are set to now sign Yves Bissouma in a £25 million deal.
If and when Bissouma is announced, that’ll be three signings since the Premier League campaign finished last month.
Spurs completing summer business this quickly is relatively unprecedented and journalist Alasdair Gold, who exclusively covers the club for Football London, has revealed why.
According to Gold, Paratici is very much a ‘workaholic’ who hasn’t taken any personal time off since the 2021-22 campaign finished, explaining why Tottenham are enjoying a rip-roaring start to this summer window.
Gold said on his YouTube channel: “Paratici is a workaholic. He really is. From what I understand he’s barely taken any time off since the end of the season. He’s just been working away at getting these things lined up.”
More Fabio Paratici signings?
Fabrizio Romano, the reliable Italian journalist, tweeted in the early hours that even after Bissouma is announced, Fabio Paratici and Tottenham are still nowhere near to being finished this summer.
It makes you wonder if Antonio Conte’s presence in North London is having an effect on Fabio Paratici’s work ethic.
Conte is world-class manager but an unpredictable figure who is never far away from quitting Spurs if expectations aren’t being met off the field.
That’s probably why once the Italian manager secured Champions League qualification, ENIC injected £150 million into the club’s transfer budger [Bloomberg].
Conte is so good that you simply have to placate him because ultimately, everybody at Tottenham wants the same thing – success – and whisper it, but next season they may just find some.
