Tottenham are preparing for a busy summer transfer window, one that promises to be exciting and transformative after a disappointing campaign.
Roberto De Zerbi's arrival helped Spurs avoid relegation on the final day of the Premier League season, after falling to new lows in the division.
While survival was a monumental moment for the manager, he emphasised that a campaign like that last one simply cannot happen again for Tottenham, with the solution being some transfer activity.
Signings are a priority, with Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson set to join the club on free transfers. Then there's the bid made for Jan Paul van Hecke, which could see the Brighton defender move to North London.
Arrivals are key, but so too are exits, with a growing list of names set to leave Tottenham in the coming weeks.
Juventus Want Guglielmo Vicario
The latest reports from Gazzetta dello Sport claim that Juventus have joined the race to sign Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario in the summer transfer window.
The Serie A side were linked with the Italian shot-stopper previously, but with Inter Milan seemingly taking the lead, attention turned to Liverpool ace Alisson Becker.
That move has seemingly fallen through, leading to revived interest in Vicario, who could leave three years after moving to Tottenham from Empoli.
The 29-year-old was drafted in as the long-term replacement for Hugo Lloris, and started admirably with some top performances, not only in making saves but by playing out well, which was a requirement for then-manager Ange Postecoglou.
As time has gone on, however, Vicario has struggled alongside his teammates, conceding 50 goals in the Premier League this season and keeping just seven clean sheets.
There have been question marks over his future as a result, which have only been emphasised with the performances of Antonin Kinsky since he was put into the side.
De Zerbi has described Vicario as a "top player", however, and insisted that he was the number-one, despite selecting Kinsky ahead of him at the end of the campaign following his injury troubles.
It remains to be seen whether the manager will stand by that and insist that the goalkeeper stays, or whether Tottenham complete a deal and look to rebuild their goalkeeping ranks again.
Tottenham Must Rebuild Leadership Ranks
If Tottenham do decide to sell Vicario, then they will be losing a player who has been part of the squad's leadership circle for the past few seasons.
He isn't set to be the only one, as Cristian Romero's potential exit is compounding the impact of a team losing those key voices in the dressing room.
It means that the recruitment team needs to not only look at the profile of players they are bringing in, but what they will offer in the squad dynamics.
Robertson's impending arrival appears to be just as much about his experience and leadership as it is his quality and depth at left-back.
With so many young players in key areas of the squad, it's clear that there needs to be some guiding hands within the team who can help progress them into leaders of the future.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham will look for more leadership candidates to bring in during the summer window, but it's clearly an area that needs addressing as much as the need for on-ball quality.
