Tottenham Hotspur have an important summer ahead of them as they prepare for the 2025/26 season. The London outfit are back in the Champions League after their Europa League win. They beat fellow Premier League side Manchester United 1-0 in the final in Bilbao last month to secure the trophy.
They finished in a disappointing 17th place in the league though and need to perform better next term. Ange Postecoglou’s side have the opportunity to bring in some new players when the transfer window opens for business. They could do with getting a few quality additions through the door to boost their squad.
Whether their manager is the man at the helm come the start of next season is still yet to be seen - the former Celtic boss is widely tipped to be axed during the summer months, with the likes of Brentford’s Thomas Frank believed to be in with a shot of becoming the club’s next head coach. Regardless of the main man in the dugout, it’s expected to be a summer of major change in terms of playing personnel, with the Athletic suggesting the club have an enormous transfer budget in the region of £200m ready to spend on new players.
Tottenham Hotspur could target Noni Madueke from rivals Chelsea
According to a report by The Guardian, Chelsea will listen to offers for winger Noni Madueke. The attacker may well move on if his price tag, which Fichajes claim is around the £50million mark, is met.
Madueke, 23, would be a shrewd addition for Spurs if they were able to lure him away from Stamford Bridge. A change of scene would do him good and he needs to go somewhere he is guaranteed regular minutes. His contract with the Blues expires in June 2030 but it is yet to be known whether he will be sticking around.
He was actually on the books of Spurs from 2014 to 2018 as a youngster after arriving from Crystal Palace. However, he didn’t stay long enough to break into their first-team. He left seven years ago to embark on a new challenge abroad at PSV and his decision to get out of his comfort zone in Holland worked out well for him.
Why Noni Madueke would suit Tottenham Hotspur this summer
Madueke would be worth a gamble for Spurs and would add more competition and depth to their attacking department. Chelsea swooped to land him back in 2023 and he has since endured a mixed spell there. Nevertheless, he has bags of potential and at the age of only 23 still, he has plenty of time on his side to grow and develop down the line.
The England international, who has five caps to his name, has scored 20 goals in 87 games for the Blues so far, 11 of which came in this past campaign. He caught their eye in the Eredivisie at PSV and he found the net on 20 occasions in 80 outings for the Eindhoven club. That proves he has an eye for goal from the wing and can be a real threat cutting in on his left foot from the right.
Both Kevin de Bruyne and Mohamed Salah infamously didn’t pull up any trees at Chelsea and went on to become world stars. Although Madueke is unlikely to reach the same heights as them, there is no reason why he can’t go on and win trophies on a consistent basis if he did leave. Spurs need to make some smart signings and they could do a lot worse than luring Madueke back to his former team.
