Tottenham are considering changing their wage structure.
Tottenham Hotspur are considering breaking their strict wage structure to sign Adrien Rabiot, Calciomercato report.
Spurs are in a battle with Juventus to sign the wantaway PSG ace.
Rabiot is out of contract at the end of the season, but Spurs were not previously considered to be lead contenders to sign the Frenchman because he is after high wages.
A decision to potentially break their ceiling and offer Rabiot high wages suddenly looks smarter than ever.
Tottenham’s limitations in midfield were exposed against Ajax in midweek.
Victor Wanyama’s performance was plainly not good enough.
The Kenyan struggled and he is a player who needs replacing.
Sure, Tottenham could find a replacement who does not require breaking their wage structure for.
But if they are set on Rabiot as the best player available, and factor in the lack of a transfer fee, then it is a decision they have to make.
As Champions League semi-finalists, and still in with a chance of reaching the final, Tottenham are close to scaling the peak of the mountain.
To climb as high again next season, Spurs will have to invest, and midfield is a clear area Tottenham need to address.
Bringing in Rabiot would be a momentous decision financially for Spurs. It’s also a move which would really improve them.
