Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi says that the club have completed 60% of their project in the transfer market, which could suggest that there are still four more signings to come if the Italian is solely talking about incomings.

Tottenham have of course brought in six players to date, which would match up to the 60% figure, while it is widely known that he wants at least two more attacking players to arrive in north London before the September 1 deadline.

Spurs' top attacking target was considered to be Manchester City winger Savinho, who club chiefs will hope to finally land after a year-long pursuit of the Brazilian.

There are some suggestions that a deal is likely to happen, after the 22-year-old told City he wanted to leave and join a new club, once the Premier League runners-up sign a replacement for the South American forward.

It was expected that he was the likely next arrival at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, especially after another target in Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi was ruled out for up to four months through injury, but De Zerbi's latest hint suggests otherwise.

The Italian told reporters in Sydney that a transfer 'Bomba' is on the way for another forward who isn't Savinho, and he said he 'hoped' it is close to being done.

Tottenham Hold Talks Over Ferran Torres Transfer

According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham are already looking at alternatives to Junior Kroupi after the Frenchman's injury issues, including Barcelona's Ferran Torres.

The Spain international became a global superstar after scoring the winning goal against Argentina in the World Cup final, yet there is a chance he could leave the Camp Nou this summer.

The 26-year-old could be available this summer should he fail to agree new contract terms with the La Liga champions, and Spurs would relish the opportunity to bring him back to the Premier League after his previous spell with Manchester City.

The report says that PSG are advancing towards an agreement for the Spaniard, but Tottenham have also held discussions with intermediaries regarding the attacker's situation, and they continue to keep a close eye on developments.

Torres Would be a 'Bomba' Tottenham Transfer

De Zerbi's smirk when he was delivering the 'Bomba' line to journalists suggested that this next signing will be an exciting one, and Torres certainly fits the bill.

The 26-year-old plays for Barcelona and has made more than 200 appearances for the Catalan giants, scoring 65 goals and registering a further 23 assists.

Of course, he has become an even bigger world star after his extra-time winner against Argentina in the World Cup final, as Spain lifted the famous trophy.

Torres has only made 28 Premier League appearances previously during his time with Man City, but he showed his pedigree with nine goals and three assists.

Tottenham will also harbour hopes of returning to the Champions League as soon as possible, and Torres bring an impressive record in that competition too, with 18 goals in 50 outings.

Let's see if Spurs can get a deal over the line in the coming weeks, or if the incoming 'Bomba' signing is somebody else.
