Tottenham Hotspur now need to replace Son Heung-min following his final game for the North London club.
After 10 years and 454 matches, Son has played his final game for Tottenham in what was an emotional send-off in his home nation of South Korea.
Son has established himself as the most lethal finisher in football since 2014, so sorting a replacement will be a tricky task for Johan Lange and his team.
Thomas Frank could find an internal solution to replace Son, but if they are to dip into the transfer window, here are five players TBR Football believes they should target.
Rafael Leao
Tottenham could launch an audacious attempt to land Rafael Leao, who’s been called ‘one of the best players in the world’.
Fabio Paratici knows Leao well, and the Italian director could play a key role in any move for the AC Milan forward.
The 26-year-old enjoyed a strong campaign at the San Siro as he netted 12 goals and 13 assists in 50 appearances for Milan.
The Rossoneri missing out on the Champions League means they could be forced into a sale, and Spurs should at least be making a push to sign him.
Rodrygo Goes
TBR Football exclusively revealed that Tottenham have held talks with Rodrygo Goes through intermediaries.
The Brazilian has indicated that he would be open to a move to North London, given his desire to be playing regular football ahead of next summer’s World Cup.
Spurs are keen to make a statement at left wing following the departure of Son and signing the Madrid star would certainly represent a marquee addition.
Liverpool and Arsenal also want Rodrygo, so actually bringing the 24-year-old to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would be tricky.
Alejandro Garnacho
TBR Football understands that Alejandro Garnacho is on Tottenham’s list of targets, with the Argentine free to leave Manchester United this summer.
The 21-year-old has fallen out with Ruben Amorim, and the Red Devils are now believed to be open to offers worth around £40m.
Last season, the winger still managed to match Son’s goal tally of 11 goals, and he is keen to remain in the Premier League with his next move.
Frank’s assistant coach, Justin Cochrane, worked with Garnacho at United, and his good relationship with the player could help bring him to Spurs.
Ademola Lookman
Tottenham have been linked with Ademola Lookman since at least 2018 and he has been through a lot since then.
The winger has gone from Everton to RB Leipzig to Fulham to Leicester and then finally to Atalanta, where he has exploded into life.
The winger netted an extraordinary hat-trick in the 2024 Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen to become a contender for the last Ballon d’Or.
Lookman handed in a transfer request on Sunday, but he looks set to remain in Italy and move to Inter Milan, so that deal could be tricky to hijack.
Kenan Yildiz
A surprise name for the left wing could be Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz, and this is where Paratici’s expertise on the Italian market could come into play.
The Turkish international has established himself as one of the best wingers in Serie A, but for the right offer, perhaps Juventus could be tempted to sell.
