Tottenham Hotspur came close to signing Andy Carroll during the January transfer window.
We’re about to go through some degrees of separation to corroborate this story, so bear with me.
A report from Galicia Press in Spain (translated by the folks at Sport Witness) was breaking down the Irons’ efforts to sign Maxi Gomez of Celta Vigo, and was looking at the possible domino affect that could have been created by the forward moving to the English capital.
One cog in the system (supposedly) is that Premier League rivals Spurs came close to signing West Ham target man Andy Carroll.
With Harry Kane facing a spell on the sideline, there was some speculation that the North Londoners were trying to bring in some temporary cover.
Carroll has struggled to find a place in Manuel Pellegrini’s team, and has made just three starts all season under the Chilean tactician.
