Tottenham owner Daniel Levy has 'no understanding about football' even though he is 'hands-on' in negotiating, says former Spurs director of football Frank Arnesen after the north London club lost out on Adama Traore and Luis Diaz moves this week

Tottenham owner Daniel Levy has 'no understanding about the football game' even though he is very 'hands-on' with transfer business, according to former Spurs director of football Frank Arnesen.

Spurs are undergoing a difficult transfer market after key attacking targets Luis Diaz and Adama Traore chose Liverpool and Barcelona respectively, with both players snubbing a move to Antonio Conte's side in the process.

And Arnesen, who was Tottenham's director of football between 2004 and 2005, believes Levy is very good at delegating to his sporting director or coach about football matters, as he has no knowledge of the game himself.
