Well-known sports presenter Richard Keys has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool’s recent transfer activity.
Keys, formerly of Sky Sports and who now works as a presenter for beINSPORTS, has suggested that Tottenham should not be spending big money on Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale.
The presenter has also stated that he finds Liverpool’s spending in the summer transfer window “confusing”.
With Spurs £175m in debt to the Govt – & in big trouble paying for their £1billion stadium – is it right they they’re spending money on Gareth Bale? We’ll discuss today on #beINSPORTS. It’s great to have him back in our lge but I find their spending – & Liverpool’s – confusing.
