Real Sociedad striker Willian José still remains a transfer target for Tottenham Hotspur as the club are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements. Harry Kane remains the sole out-and-out striker at Tottenham, and Mourinho has been demanding that a striker be brought in this summer, as a backup for the talismanic Englishman.
The player’s agent, Nick Arcuri had revealed that Willian José was indeed subject to interest from plenty of sides from the Premier League in January.
Arcuri stated that Tottenham had intended to sign the Brazilian as a replacement for the injured Harry Kane, and a deal rumored to be worth €30m was close to being done but the transfer simply did not materialize. It appears that the Brazilian had gone on strike to force a move to Tottenham in January after agreeing on personal terms with the club but Sociedad had blocked the transfer.
