Tottenham Hotspur's summer recruitment drive hasn't quite got off the ground yet, mainly due to uncertainty surrounding Ange Postecoglou and his long-term future, but that hasn't stopped some transfer plans being made.
Tottenham transfer plans after vital Europa League triumph
While Postecoglou is set to learn his fate as soon as this week, according to ESPN and other reliable media sources, technical director Johan Lange, chairman Daniel Levy and the incoming Fabio Paratici will be debating ways to improve the Spurs squad regardless of who is in charge next season.
Their triumph in the Europa League final has opened many doors for Spurs, with the Lilywhites set to compete in next season's Champions League as one major positive of their victory against Man United in Bilbao.
The greater transfer market pull and financial windfall that comes with competing in Europe's most prestigious competition will undoubtedly assist Levy when it comes to bolstering the team this summer, with Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge reporting that Spurs want to strengthen the entire squad in all areas bar goalkeeper.
"Spurs don't have to sell to buy, with Champions League qualification huge for the club," said Bridge.
"All areas, apart from the goalkeeping department, will be looked at. Midfield and forward would be the priority if Cristian Romero stays."
Dejan Kulusevski's lengthy injury lay-off, combined with uncertainty surrounding the long-term futures of Richarlison and even Mathys Tel, means a new attacking player or two could be highly likely at Spurs.
Tottenham are considering the sale of Richarlison after another season marred by injury for the Brazilian, while there are some reports that Tel could return to Bayern Munich if Spurs make significant progress on a deal for Leroy Sane.
Sane has been heavily linked with a move to N17 in the last week, with the Bayern winger out of contract at the end of this month. He recently employed super-agent Pini Zahavi to help negotiate a new deal with Vincent Kompany's side, but no agreement has been reached, so the representative could assist in finding him a new club instead.
Leroy Sane "wants a move" to Tottenham from Bayern Munich
Spurs face competition from north London rivals Arsenal, who are also believed to be in talks with Zahavi, but Levy has been handed a fresh boost in their rumoured pursuit of the 29-year-old.
Once valued at £137 million by Man City, the winger could soon be available at zero transfer cost, with Tottenham News sharing an update on the Lilywhites' chances of beating Arsenal to his signature.
The outlet reports that Sane "wants a move" to Tottenham after they qualified for the Champions League, and they're current favourites to win the race in light of the forward's fresh stance on joining.
This is also regardless of whether Postecoglou is at the club next term, so it appears Sane is pretty keen on a switch to Spurs.
