Almamy Toure Sold To Tottenham

After 4 full season with Walsall, Almamy Toure was sold to  Champions League outfit Tottenham for $24M Pound but with incentives, could rise up to $37M Pound in a few years.

Losing Toure is a huge blow to Walsall since he was not only a key contributor, but also the vice captain of the team.

Toure has been pressing for a move to a bigger team for the past 2 years and I was only able to keep him last year because walsall finished 4th that year thus having Champions League matches to satisfy. This year, we will not take part in Champions League matches because of last year 5th place finish, so Toure saw no reason to stay.

The money will be spend on buying a replacement at right back. Italian National Davide Vatturini did a nice job starting last game replacing Toure, but I may still need someone better for competition.
