Spurs Missed Chance to Sign Player Now More Valuable Than Son and Kane Together

Tottenham Hotspur has been home to many attacking talents over the years who have won the hearts of fans. While Son Heung-min and Harry Kane formed a record-breaking partnership, the club may regret not signing one player who has become one of Europe’s biggest stars in recent years.

It’s known that Spurs attempted to sign Kylian Mbappé after his breakthrough at Monaco, being quoted a fee of around £450,000. However, they were ultimately unable to convince him to leave France at that time.

Mbappé has gone on to achieve incredible things, starring for PSG before moving to Real Madrid this summer. He scored 256 goals in just 310 appearances for PSG and has continued his prolific form at Madrid with 24 goals in 36 games so far.

As a result of his tremendous performances, Mbappé is now valued at £133 million by Transfermarkt – higher than Son and Kane’s combined value of £105 million. While Son and Kane provided many great memories for Spurs fans, there’s no denying the club could have reached another level had they managed to sign Mbappé during his early years at Monaco.

The missed opportunity to sign Mbappé for such a low fee, given his current status as one of the world’s best players, will likely go down as one of Tottenham’s biggest transfer regrets. His impact could have potentially ended the club’s long trophy drought and taken them to new heights both domestically and in Europe.
