Bassong to Spurs seems to be on

Looks like it's happening for Spurs and Bassong. Here are a few quick thoughts.Â

1) Nice move for Spurs as they need a young, healthy, high quality centre back with upside.Â

2) You have to wonder why Arsenal wasn't interested at this price - throwing an additional £16M for Bassong and Chamakh seems like a reasonable use of their K2 & Toure money.
