Athletistic/Football. The English Football Association (FA) continues to investigate Tottenham Hotspur. The London club could be deprived of points in the current Premier League for a 15-year-old transfer.
According to the Times, the FA found inconsistencies in the transfer of striker Jermain Defoe to Portsmouth in 2008. An unlicensed agent, Mitchell Thomas, was involved in the negotiation process of this deal, which was strictly prohibited at the time. era. The source claims that an independent arbitration commission reviewed the case, but no decision was made based on the results of that review. The FA now intends to request a review of the matter.
