Former Premier League attacker Adel Tarabuto has suggested he has the option to join Arsenal instead of Tottenham Hotspur and regrets his decision to join the Spurs.
Tarabuto struggled with consistency issues during his time at the North London Club, but he impressed his fans with his technical abilities and talent. He was like a cult hero in North London costume during his club.
But he believes that if he makes another choice, his career will be different. He previously also criticised former Tottenham manager Harry Redknap.
Adel Tarabuto regrets Tottenham’s move
“Yes, of course!” Taarabt said (h/t gms). “I’m a huge football fan. I’ve had a great time. Sometimes I look back on my career and make some decisions differently, and I think my career is completely different.”
He added: “Tottenham is a good club so don’t sign Tottenham. We haven’t signed Tottenham, but at the time I had the opportunity to go to Arsenal.
“I think it was a more French club. For me, it would have been easier with Arsen Wenger. They had a lot of French players, and they were doing well.”
Arsenal’s move could have been ideal
At the time, the gunners were in a much better place to challenge the trophy, and were able to play alongside Arsenal’s top quality players.
Plus, Arsenal had a world-class manager like Arsene Wenger at the time. The French manager may have brought out the best in Tarabuto and helped him realize his incredible potential.
In the end, Morocco made Tottenham a bit of a mystery. Despite his outstanding talent, he was unable to actually fulfill his potential.
Meanwhile, his comments don’t work with Tottenham’s loyal people. It would be interesting to see how they react.
