# Tottenham Hotspur: Journalist ‘astounded’ by transfer news out of N17

**Speaking to[GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/87995149-tottenham-utterly-bizarre-hotspur-way-link-emerges-with-76-cap-assassin), journalist Dean Jones has been left ‘astounded’ by some transfer news he’s heard from Tottenham Hotspur.**

### The Lowdown: Major claim emerges…

Last week, some shock transfer news emerged involving Tottenham and a veteran, big name forward.

Indeed, according to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, as shared by [The Sun,](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/18215063/tottenham-tevez-transfer-conte-visit-training/) the Lilywhites became surprise contenders to sign former Man City star Carlos Tevez on a free transfer.

A trip to Hotspur Way to meet manager Antonio Conte was apparently in the pipeline following the Argentine’s visits to both Inter Milan and Juventus beforehand.

### The Latest: Jones ‘astounded’…

Speaking to[GMS](https://www.givemesport.com/87995149-tottenham-utterly-bizarre-hotspur-way-link-emerges-with-76-cap-assassin), transfer reporter Jones has explained his bemusement after hearing the news, claiming the Spurs link comes as an ‘utterly bizarre’ one.

He explained: *“It would be utterly bizarre. He’s 38 and he hasn’t been playing football this season.* *He is the complete opposite profile of player they’ve been actively looking for in terms of a new forward option. If Carlos Tevez signs for Tottenham, I would be absolutely astounded, I just don’t see it happening.”*

### The Verdict: Correct…

Signing the 38-year-old would certainly turn a few heads both in and out of the club.

Once one of the Premier League’s biggest forward stars, scoring 73 goals and assisting 35 others over nearly [150 outings for Man City,](https://www.transfermarkt.com/carlos-tevez/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/4276/verein/281) Tevez is quite clearly past the peak of his powers.

The South American has been without a club since leaving Boca Juniors last year and we believe he is certainly unlikely to find a new home at Spurs.
