Explained in plain English

What are 'personal terms'?

'Personal terms' refer to the individual agreement between a player and their new club, covering aspects like salary, bonuses, contract duration, and other benefits. For Gakpo, it's reported he has 'agreed to join Spurs', meaning he's likely settled on these personal terms, making the transfer depend mainly on the clubs agreeing on a fee.
