Remember that Pompey tried to sign him last time when he went to Tottenham, when Harry talks about sitting down with the lad and his parents he’s possibly talking about last time not this. The rest is media and agent hype. Harry has never said he has spoken to the boy and he is coming, he’s said he’s 3rd in the race to sign him, that’s all

Are you talking about transfer listed players? Surely your not allowed to just talk to any contracted player with a view to signing him …. That’s called tapping up!! With or without the clubs knowledge.
Roy Keane is a man of principles and other Premier League managers shouild take a leaf from his book.
Not once did any Sunderland player complain to the ref following a freekick/penalty decision last season Why ? because Roy said not to

Keane is spot on if the receiving club accepts a bid then you can speak to that player and talk about the player in the media. Those are the rules.
