Tottenham and West Bromwich Albion fell out famously in 2015.
Tottenham Hotspur and West Bromwich Albion chairmen Daniel Levy and Jeremy Peace famously fell out in 2015 over Saido Berahino.
West Brom furiously rejected bids for the striker they viewed as derisory, preventing Tottenham from getting their man.
It proved to be a lucky escape for Spurs and a pivotal moment to forget for West Brom and Berahino.
But the message from the Baggies was clear… ‘stay away from our top players’, and Spurs ended the transfer window without signing a striker.
Now Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is poised to raid the Baggies for a player West Brom desperately did not want to lose, Jonny Evans.
Evans will be available for £3 million due to the relegation release clause in his contract.
Spurs have only dealt with West Brom once since the Berahino saga, to sell them Nacer Chadli in 2016.
West Brom are at their lowest ebb in years as they seem set for relegation, 10 points adrift of safety with seven games remaining.
Losing Evans for just £3 million is a serious blow.
For Spurs chairman Daniel Levy it is the perfect moment to exact revenge for being denied signing the player he wanted three years ago.
