Brassell: Spurs didn’t fail on Doué — deal taken out of their hands

Football analyst Andy Brassell has defended Tottenham over their failure to sign Désiré Doué, arguing the club did not fall short in their pursuit but rather had the transfer taken out of their control. Speaking on talkSPORT, Brassell suggested external factors — rather than any lack of ambition or effort from Spurs — determined the outcome. Doué ultimately joined Paris Saint-Germain instead.
