Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou playfully told reporters that the club was disappointed about not securing the signing of British driver Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton created a lot of buzz on the internet, after announcing a move to Ferrari from Mercedes, for the 2025 season.

The North London side has also had an eventful winter transfer window. They secured Radu Dragusin for approximately £25 million and secured a loan deal for Timo Werner from Leipzig. The January transfer window was well utilized by Postecoglou, to strengthen his team’s core. But it was overshadowed by news that seven-time Formula One champion Hamilton would join Ferrari from 2025.

Further, the Australian manager confirmed that all the reporters were busy noting down the transfer report, which was merely a joke.

The club just didn’t feel it was the right move for us so disappointed with that. But he ended up at Ferrari so we just have to cop it… look at you all! You were ready to type away. I was going to pause just to let his (press officer’s) phone blow up, but it was a good one, mate, a good one.

Meanwhile, Hamilton’s surprising move to Ferrari, after 11 successful years for Mercedes took Twitter by surprise. Many football fans took to social media, trying to explain the racer’s move to a new team at such an age, in football terms.
