Having landed the Premier League’s official ‘Signing of the Season’ in Senne Lammens last term, internally there is a belief that Youri Tielemans can make it two-for-two in 2026-27.
Internally, there has been a real eagerness to no longer be seen as a club that can be ripped off, a club that agents can manipulate or bully. This was one of the main reasons they didn’t cave on their valuation of Jorge Mendes client Fernandes when Tottenham upped the ante.
The desire to limit leaks is stronger than ever, too. Wilcox and Berrada have placed immense emphasis on acting in the shadows and out of the court of public opinion. The Tielemans signing appeared to outsiders to come from nowhere, much to the delight of bosses.
