Or it might be the news that Benteke has signed a new contract earlier this week that put him off.
After the appointment of Ryan Mason, this will do nothing but anger Spurs fans
Ange new Celtic manager as I predicted.
Shrewd signing. He’s a superb coach and will be successful there.

Who?
I know he's a nice guy and Klopp's friend... But David Wagner is seriously shit. Wba have dodged one here
More the Lallana.
More the no one gives a fuck. He's 55 and hasn't managed in Europe.
Scottish football is seriously shite if that's all they can attract.
Nuno's dropped right off everyone's radar all of a sudden.
Just looked up his managerial record on WIki - will be a great fit for Spurs
Read from the reports after his move to Crystal Palace broke down that there were demands for quite a number of backroom staff appointments as well as for Jorge Mendes’ involvement in transfer dealings
I did as well, and was reminded that he's the tit who gave Bigears a proprietorial pat as the two teams walked out in Istanbul on 25th May 2005.
Slap Karma on the @rse like that and you deserve anything that comes back at you. He and Tottenham deserve each other.
A pound to a penny says he'd want the move too, but Levy would never countenance it.
Question is, why is Gattuso Paratici's preferred choice?
Gennaro Gattuso talks leave Paulo Fonseca stunned as Tottenham head coach search takes twist
[article]Tottenham Hotspur's search for their new head coach has taken a sudden twist with talks ending with Paulo Fonseca and instead switching to Gennaro Gattuso.
Gattuso left Fiorentina on Thursday and that played its part in a series of events that saw talks with Fonseca, which were at an advanced stage, suddenly broken off.
Those in Fonseca's camp told football.london that everything have been agreed between Tottenham and the Portuguese this week.
On Wednesday, the 48-year-old's visa and administrative work had been being processed for his move to the UK and earlier in the week Fonseca held face-to-face talks with Spurs' new managing director of football Fabio Paratici in both Milan and in Como to prepare for the season ahead and discuss potential transfers.
Fonseca then travelled for a short break in Ukraine, where his TV presenter wife Katerina is from. She told her Instagram followers this week that she had "butterflies in my stomach because the new page begins". Fonseca and his family were preparing to fly over to the UK before the end of this month.
Then Fonseca was suddenly informed that that deal was off. There were believed to be some Italian tax issues involved in hiring the former Roma and Shakhtar Donetsk man but both sides of the deal claim that finances were not the reason behind the dramatic withdrawal.
It believed that the about turn is more to do with Gattuso leaving Fiorentina just 23 days after he was appointed there.
It is understood that Paratici is an admirer of Gattuso, who led Napoli to win the Coppa Italia in 2020 but was sacked this season after the club missed out on Champions League qualification on the final day of the campaign.
When word came that Gattuso could suddenly became available, and that proved to be the case on Thursday, that forced a sudden change in direction and Spurs broke off the talks with Fonseca and instead switched to the fiery former Milan boss.
Italian reports claim that Gattuso and Fiorentina parted ways due to a dispute over transfers with his agent Jorge Mendes having recommended targets that the club were not keen to move on this summer.
There is some talk in Italy that Fonseca could be in line to take over at Fiorentina to complete a crazy turn of events.
Tottenham have faced a mess of a search for their new head coach and it is now two months since Jose Mourinho was relieved of his duties in April.
The club attempted to get Mauricio Pochettino back to the club but could not prise him away from PSG.
Then they held talks with former Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte only for those to suddenly collapse amid what was believed to be unrealistic demands from the Italian.
Paratici's arrival then saw the original list of candidates drawn up by Spurs' technical performance director Steve Hitchen, replaced by the Italian's and led to the talks with Fonseca.
Now Fonseca, who was an underwhelming choice for many Spurs fans who had been hoping for either of the other two previous candidates, has also been dispensed with despite advanced talks.
Gattuso, with his own lack of managerial success outside that Coppa Italia win, is unlikely to muster much excitement from the beleaguered Tottenham supporters and his fiery nature would be an odd mix with the club's hierarchy.
However, Spurs still have to get the deal over the line first and that has proved to be impossible so far for a club that has lurched from one PR disaster to the next in the past 18 months.[/article]

Updated post. Any of you know Levy's email address? I did coach some Under 10 football a couple of times before COVID-19? At this rate, I might have a shot at Spurs' job in a couple of weeks.
Deal. My plan is to sell Kane. Use that money to buy Origi, Shaqiri, Keita, Ox for 120 million. Get fired in a month or so and collect compensation. If you are on board with that, I will have you as my assistant manager.
