When you take a look at the recent recruiting records of Brighton and Hove Albion, it’s fair to say that the south coast club deserves the benefit of the doubt as they come close to a record £ 25 million contract by Nicolas Gonzalez, a forward. which was also a Tottenham Hotspur goal despite scoring just three goals in open play last season (Guardian).
Danny Welbeck and Adam Lallana proved to be free transfer-inspired additions, while Joel Veltman, Dan Burn, Adam Webster and Tariq Lamptey, now rated £ 50 million, represent incredible value for money.
And that’s not to mention Jakub Moder, Michal Karbownik and the highly respected Moises Caicedo, three future stars who were attracting interest from clubs that, with all due respect to Brighton, tend to reside a few rungs higher up the football ladder.

And Gonzalez doesn’t deserve to be ruled out due to a 2020/21 season hit by injuries. Those annoying fitness issues prevented him from truly displaying his talents in the top flight in Germany.
The fact that the 23-year-old has been linked to Inter Milan, Leeds United and more, while winning seven games with an Argentine side overloaded with offensive quality, speaks volumes.
Will Brighton beat Tottenham over González?
And there are growing fears among increasingly irritated Tottenham fans that Brighton’s gain could be Spurs’ loss.
Sky Italia reported earlier this week that the London giants had expressed their willingness to meet Stuttgart’s demands for a future valued in the region of £ 25 million.

Now, it looks like Tottenham will find out how Arsenal felt when Emi Buendia put pen to paper with Aston Villa.
Is Gonzalez a 30-goal striker in a season capable of filling a Harry Kane-shaped void in Tottenham’s front row? Maybe not.
But he is an exciting, promising and technically gifted striker who would have brought speed, skill and great versatility to a Tottenham team eternally dependent on their talismanic captain.
Here’s what some Tottenham fans had to say about the situation on Twitter:

What? Why haven’t we won this? Can’t we beat the BHA against a young player?

Who would have imagined that not having a permanent manager for 2 months and just appointing a DoF would allow others to get ahead of signings ?!
