WBA & Aston Villa battle over Capoue
West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa will try to secure unwanted Spurs midfielder Etienne Capoue on loan on transfer deadline day after Real Sociedad and Sevilla failed.
Real Sociedad, now managed by David Moyes, would have like to take Etienne Capoue on loan until to La Liga but didn't have the finances to commit to buying him in the summer. Sevilla were not happy with Spurs for taking Federico Fazio in the summer and their president made discouraging words about the player and Spurs so the club so that deal was always unlikely. The transfer window in Spain has now shit so those avenues are not open any more.
That leaves WBA and Aston Villa to battle for his services, should Spurs be able get midfielder Adrien Rabiot on loan from PSG, which is doubtful. Both Midlands clubs have enquired about the French international but if a replacement can't be brought in then it's unlikely Spurs will let him go on loan.
Capoue has been largely out of favour since the Stoke City game at the beginning of November and the events after the game in which he was involved. Between now and the 7th March Tottenham have 8 games to play so are going to need every player they have and not have to worry about them integrating or learning how to play the system.
It seems to me therefore that he is highly unlikely to be allowed to go anywhere.
