Deadline day Tottenham Hotspur signing Clint Dempsey has revealed that he had no idea what was happening leading up to last week’s deadline according to the Daily Mirror.
The USA midfielder has admitted that with just two hours to go until the window closed, he wasn’t sure which club he would be playing for the following day.
“Going into that last day and night there were still a lot of question marks. It wasn’t clear-cut this was going to happen.” Dempsey told Sports Illustrated.
“Some other things came up and you are going through that struggle, which was not fun for anybody.”
“It was difficult for Fulham and for me, not knowing how it’s going to end.”
“It’s just about having that faith, holding onto hope that something was going to happen that both parties were going to be happy with.”
“In the end that was accomplished, but the deal didn’t get done until right about 9pm, and that was when a fee was agreed.”
“But then you had to look at all the logistics, trying to get to Tottenham’s training ground, trying to make sure all the paperwork was through, doing the medical, signing the contract and having everything sent back before the deadline at 11.”
“Everything was sent through at like 10:58, so you’re there, but you’re still like: ‘Is this official yet?’.
