the essential
As the time for the Toulouse team to resume training has come on Monday, July 1st, they should see the arrival of a new face this week. In defense.
Cresswell, first name Charlie. A young Englishman in the Pink City?
The U21 international (14 caps, 1 goal) will not return to school this Monday morning at the Stadium with the purple squad before leaving for “cohesion” at Loudenvielle from Wednesday to Friday, but this central defender has a deterrent size ( 1m90-86kg) could very quickly reach the banks of the Garonne. From the beginning of the week, even, the British press is generally always well informed. Cresswell thus becoming the first recruit of the summer at TFC.
Transfer at €4.5M, 4-year contract
In the meantime, the solid right-hander, tied to Leeds until 2027, ticks all the boxes. Great potential and thirst for revenge. Coming out of a virtually blank season in the Championship (D2 ANG) with the Peacocks of LUFC – who failed in their operation to climb back to the play-offs –, the son of Richard, a striker in particular in the Premier League in the years 2000-2010, is looking to get back on track. And Leeds where he was trained (first season in 21-22, loaned to Millwall in 22-23), as mentioned, is no longer counting on him. In short, all parties seem to be on the same wavelength.

Especially since the Yorkshire club also needs cash. So much so that the media across the Channel go so far as to mention a transfer of 3.8 million pounds, or €4.5 million – for, according to our information, a period of 4 years such as the Téfécist board is used to practice.
A sum which, more or less, corresponds to the market value of the player, estimated on the reference site Transfermarkt at 4M. And, therefore, slightly reassessed, knowing that Toulouse, which would hold the rope, is not alone on the file: two German clubs have also positioned themselves, between Hanover and Hertha. QED.
