Tottenham are in the market for reinforcements ahead of the summer transfer window, and they are now leading the race to sign one star who could be Roberto De Zerbi's new Kaoru Mitoma.
With De Zerbi arriving through the door at the end of March, Tottenham will be planning their recruitment strategy for the summer.
The former Brighton boss will be implementing a fairly unique style that is going to require new additions in order to see success, meaning it could be a busy window for the north London club.
Spurs' incredibly disappointing season is likely to force ENIC to splash the cash in the summer transfer window, providing they remain in the Premier League.
De Zerbi looks set to stick around even if they are relegated, having signed a five-year deal, but their recruitment strategy might look a little different if they drop to the Championship.
Tottenham Lead Race for Their Own Mitoma
According to reports, Tottenham are leading the race to sign West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville ahead of the summer transfer window, with the Dutch forward potentially heading through the exit door.
A number of Premier League clubs are showing an interest in securing the signature of Summerville, but it's Tottenham who are at the front of the queue.
Summerville could be De Zerbi's own version of Mitoma, a player he got the best out of when working with him at Brighton.
The Japanese star enjoyed some of the best football of his career under De Zerbi, providing 29 goals and assists in 62 games.
Summerville could be similar under De Zerbi, being a winger who loves to take on his man, providing a creative and goalscoring threat in and around the box.
Summerville an Upgrade on Tel
Mathys Tel has struggled with consistency so far this season, which is understandable given his age.
With Tottenham going through a tricky spell, they need players who are more capable of making the impact, and although Tel could be a strong asset in the future, Summerville is someone performing at a high level in the Premier League.
If West Ham are relegated instead of Spurs, the latter might be able to pick up Summerville for a reasonable fee, and they need to make a move as soon as their safety is secured.
Summerville is a clear upgrade on Tel, and Spurs need to be ruthless with their recruitment.
