Tottenham’s forgotten man set to depart

Tottenham’s forgotten man Giovani Dos Santos is set to leave the north London club, according to his Olympic coach.

Mexico coach Luis Fernando Tena claimed that the midfielder, who only made 17 league appearances for the north Londoners, requested to leave the training camp to complete the move.

“He asked us if he could complete the transfer from Tottenham to another team,” Tena was quoted as saying mediotiempo.com.

“He has to go to sign papers, he has to go to get them sorted out.

“The most important thing is his mental state. We never had a doubt when he told us (he wanted to go back to Europe). We told him: ‘Go. Do it.”‘

“He told us the name of the club. I can’t say which club, but for us it is much better if he is relaxed, that he gets his contract sorted and that he comes back physically and mentally at his best level, content and knowing that he is going to play.”
