Agent of Napoli star addresses Tottenham speculation, says Sarri ‘taught him one thing’

04 dic 2018

Napoli midfielder Allan has been the source of speculation in recent weeks, with reports suggesting that Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are both interested in bringing the Brazilian to the Premier League. Speaking on the topic to Radio Marte, Allan’s agent, Juan Arribas, commented on the matter; as well as discussing several other key questions.

“Was he excited about his debut with Brazil? So, he was very happy: it was his dream since he was a child, he had to win many battles to crown him.

“Would Italy have opened the door to naturalize it? They read so many, but never received a call or an official phone call. They were more than anything else about press rumors.

“Two seasons ago, in Naples did not play with the same constancy? He also matured as a man. What made him make the definitive leap in quality? When he realized that with Sarri there was a job to do, he started to take a lot of food to get physically empowered. Now, then, I see him also growing tactically.

"The top European clubs are becoming interested in him, we are very well in Naples and we have not received any phone calls from anyone, if we had arrived at the company, with whom we have an excellent relationship, I think we would have known.”
