Former Liverpool -As Dirk Kuyt once opened how he rejected a transfer Deadline day switch to Spurs -but moved to Anfield a year later.
The Dutch Maestro caused quite a storage early in his career in the Netherlands with his impressive performances for Utrecht and Feyenoord and earned him a place in the national team. His talent for finding the back of the net did not go unnoticed by Premier League Scouts, with Spurs as one of the clubs who would like to break him.
After three consecutive seasons in Feyenoord, where he gained more than 20 goals at the time, Spurs, under the steward of Martin Jol, tried to lure Kuyt to Noord -London at the end of the summer transfer window of 2005. Kuyt declined the offer.
Instead, he kept it out for another season before he joined Rafael Benitez's Revolution. Kuyt revealed how his Premier League career could have been different in 2017 than Fourfourtwo.
“A year before I went to Liverpool, I had the opportunity to go to Spurs, where the manager, Martin Jol and chairman Daniel Levy showed an interest,” he said. “But it was on Transfer Deadline Day, and at that time I didn't want to move.
“Later Liverpool became the number one club that wanted me, although all the negotiations lasted for a while. Other clubs also showed interest, such as Atletico Madrid. That is also a nice club, but once I had heard of the interest of Liverpool, it was The only club I wanted to go from a young age, I always enjoyed it. “
The Dutch striker scored 71 goals in 286 performances for the Reds and experienced the highlights of reaching a Champions League final in 2007. He also lifted the League Cup with Liverpool in 2012.
His time on Merseyside ended in 2012, where he continued to enjoy success with Fenerbahce before sealing a triumphant return to Feyenoord.
While Spurs missed Kuyt at the time, this January transfant star proved fruitful with the club that has obtained four new signing sessions, including a last-minute loan for Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich.
The 19-year-old rejected a move to Spurs earlier in the window, but has now agreed to a temporary stay, where Spurs had the option to buy it in the summer for a potentially € 55 million (£ 45.7 million ). If the club decides to continue, then Tel will give a six -year -old deal in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Since his relocation of the French side Rennes in 2022, tel 83 has made performances for Bayern, with 16 goals and seven assistance.
In addition, Postecoglou, the Austrian defender Kevin Danso from Ligue 1 -Outfitlens, secured the Austrian defender, while the new goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky has had heads since his arrival.
The club also welcomed younger Yang Min-Hyeok during the transfer window, although he has since been lent to Championship equipment Queens Park Rangers.
