Tottenham were willing to send Nacer Chadli to Southampton in the summer for Morgan Schneiderlin, it has been revealed.
The Daily Mail says Chadli has been a huge plus point during a largely mediocre season so far for Spurs, scoring six goals.
But the Belgium international could easily have departed White Hart Lane earlier this year had things panned out differently.
Mauricio Pochettino was desperate to land Schneiderlin from former club Southampton during the summer transfer window.
And the Spurs boss tried to use Chadli as bait to convince the Saints to part with their France international.
