Youngster Jude Soonsup-Bell has shared how ‘delighted’ he is at his move from Tottenham to Córdoba CF, and Spurs decision to let him go.
El Dia de Cordoba cover comments from the player today after his move from Tottenham was finalised last week.
Soonsup-Bell has made the surprising decision to swap life at Tottenham for a move to the Spanish second division side this summer.
He’s the latest signing of this window for the Spanish club, who are very excited to have secured his signature and have been making that clear since he arrived.
They’ve already been busy presenting him today in a press conference, during which the former Tottenham man shared his delight about the move.
“I have been interested in the Spanish league and it is an opportunity for me. I have been seeing the city and getting to know the surroundings, and I am delighted to be here,” he said.
“I’m delighted with the atmosphere in the stadium and I’m looking forward to playing. I had the opportunity two years ago to come to Spain and I saw the level of the Second Division.
“(It’s) very similar to the English Championship. The physical prevails more in England, and here the technical. Each one has a different development.”
It now remains to be seen if Soonsup-Bell can make a success of his move, which can certainly be described as a bold one.
He deserves praise for taking the bold step of moving outside of England to continue his development and get the regular playing time he wasn’t going to get at Tottenham.
Córdoba CF are certainly confident that they’ve got the right man and have insisted they’re backed up by the data too.
“(He’s) a player that we have followed from our Big Data department,” added Juan Gutiérrez Juanito, who appeared alongside the player at the press conference.
“We followed him, and the truth is that we are looking forward to him being able to play minutes with us. He is a very quality player, he comes as a forward and winger, but he can play on all attacking fronts.”
