Tottenham's search for another striker has become one of the summer's busiest pursuits.

Tottenham are in the mix to sign another teen talent, with the focus on youth investment despite Roberto De Zerbi's preference for proven Premier League experience.

Cristian Romero is set to join Atletico Madrid in a £34.2m deal with a 15 per cent sell-on clause, ending his five-year Spurs spell after 124 appearances and 12 goals.

Cristian Romero confirmed his Spurs exit on Instagram ahead of a move to Atletico Madrid in a deal worth about £34.2m, saying he leaves proud after helping end the club's 17-year trophy drought.

Tottenham have shortlisted Amar Dedic as a possible Djed Spence replacement, but Newcastle are moving first for the Benfica full-back and no formal Spurs approach is known.

Tottenham's centre-back rebuild has brought ball-playing quality, but concerns remain over Van Hecke, Senesi and Van de Ven against quick dribblers after Romero's exit.

Tottenham's 35m euro sale of Djed Spence to Inter is framed as strong value, with the piece arguing Spurs could not block a 26-year-old full-back wanting a bigger role.

Tottenham are still working on Cody Gakpo, with personal terms no issue but no financial agreement yet. Liverpool could reinvest in two wingers if Spurs complete the deal.

Tottenham are pushing for Cody Gakpo and Savinho, but Victor Osimhen is not advanced. Wages are an issue and the likeliest outcome is Osimhen stays at Galatasaray.
