Tottenham Hotspur could seal an “unbelievable signing” in Stefan de Vrij this summer transfer window.

Gary Neville has blasted Spurs duo Harry Kane and Son Heung-min for their “poor” performances against United.
Neville, who was commentating on the match for Sky Sports, was highly critical of Spurs’ dynamic duo who this season passed the record for most joint goal involvements in Premier League history.
“It’s worth mentioning the two best players,” he said.
“Son was always on his backside and Kane gave the ball away more than I’d ever seen. About five, six times in that last 20 minutes. So they were really poor.
