Thomas Delaney of Denmark looks on before the International Friendly match between Denmark and Panama at Brondby Stadion on March 22, 2018 in Brondby, Denmark.

It is not exactly a massive transfer fee, especially in today’s market, but Spurs could have signed the Denmark international for much less in January 2016.

According to Football.London, Werder paid FC Copenhagen a transfer fee of £1.8 million in order to secure the services of Delaney.

Of course, it would have been a risk for Spurs to sign a midfielder from the Danish club, but for less than £2m, it would have worth it, especially as he plays with Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen for the Denmark national football team.

Delaney has scored two goals and provided two assists in 25 Bundesliga starts for Werder so far this season, according to WhoScored.
