Time will tell if Tottenham's transfer business for the 2025/26 season proves to be a big success or not. The north London club were active in the summer market as they added some fresh faces to Thomas Frank's squad.
Signing Kota Takai and Mohammed Kudus from Kawasaki Frontale and West Ham respectively, Spurs then struck a loan agreement with Bayern Munich for Joao Palhinha and they also completed the £51.8million signing of Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig.
Randal Kolo Muani was the last to arrive after Tottenham concluded a loan agreement with PSG on deadline day. Tottenham also completed the permanent signings of Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel following their loan moves in the second half of last season and Luka Vuskovic finally linked up with the club almost two years on from the initial agreement with Hajduk Split for the talented centre-back.
Following the closure of the Premier League transfer window at 7pm on Monday evening, clubs will now have to wait until January for the market to reopen. Here we take a look at three transfers Johan Lange and Tottenham may want to look at come the start of 2026.
Centre-back
Tottenham failed to bring in another centre-back option in what remained of the summer transfer window. Vuskovic's loan move to Hamburg could potentially leave Spurs a tad short there considering the current fitness of two players, especially if Frank wants to switch to a back three as he did against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup final.
Radu Dragusin and Kota Takai are working their way back to fitness at present and it remains to be seen when exactly they will return to first-team action. As things stand right now, Kevin Danso and Ben Davies can cover for Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven if needed.
The last thing Tottenham will want is for an injury crisis to strike again in such a key area of the pitch. It could be one to look at in January when the transfer window reopens.
Left-winger
Tottenham have added another option on the left-wing with Kolo Muani joining on a season-long loan deal from PSG. The French international is a striker but he also has experience of playing on the wing.
The exit of Son Heung-min to LAFC has left a big hole considering the goals, assists and top performances he brought to the team on a regular basis. Frank does have lots of choice on the left at present but Spurs may decide that they need an out-and-out left-winger to find the long-term solution to Son's exit.
Full-back
Tottenham may need to add to their options at full-back either in January or in next summer's transfer market. Djed Spence's versatility means he can cover Pedro Porro at right-back and Destiny Udogie on the opposite side of the pitch, with his best football for Spurs so far coming at left-back.
Davies can also fill in at left-back and Archie Gray has played in both positions in the past when needed. Tottenham could do with a specialist full-back, though, and which side may come down to what Frank believes is Spence's best position.
