Y'all read this article. A very good read:
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jan/28/christian-eriksen-inter-spurs-departure
"Eriksen joined Spurs from Ajax in what came to be known as the Bale summer of 2013 – the one in which Gareth Bale departed for Real Madrid and the club spent the £86m proceeds on seven new faces."
Let me put this into perspective: It starts with that notorious Tottenham-Inter CL showdown, where Bale becomes a player everyone wants to have. Real signs him for a world record fee, Tottenham gets the money and buys a few players, also Eriksen, a youngster they like to invest in and help flourish...
...and now we have a full circle when Tottenham has given Inter a world star in his prime, from those summer purchases of 2013.
Fellas, this is some George R.R. Martin shit right here. No writing can be this good and poetic.
Wait until he scores against Atalanta to secure the Scudetto in May.
