Tottenham Hotspur have just saved their season by winning the Europa League.
Indeed, with victory in Bilbao, Spurs have qualified for next season’s Champions League, and, with that, Spurs have landed a serious financial windfall.
Man United were budgeting an extra £100m to spend on transfers if they’d won the Europa League, but that cash has now ended up in Spurs’ pocket instead.
That should allow Tottenham to spend big this summer, and according to Dean Jones, writing on the Ranks FC Ultras Patreon page, Spurs are now pushing to get three transfer deals done in the very near future.
Tottenham pushing for three transfers
According to Jones, Tottenham are now trying to get three incoming signings sewn up quickly.
According to the journalist, Spurs are pressing ahead to sign Mathys Tel permanently from Bayern Munich.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are also looking to bring in Angel Gomes and Johnny Cardoso in the midfield.
“They are pressing ahead in negotiations for Mathys Tel and are also looking to close out agreements for Johnny Cardoso and Angel Gomes. All of this is happening while serious internal conversations are unfolding about Ange Postecoglou’s future. Sunday night in London saw key decision-makers discussing whether to stick or twist with the manager,” Jones wrote.
What Ange Postecoglou said about signing Mathys Tel
Tottenham are looking to sign Mathys Tel permanently, and that’s something Ange Postecoglou already alluded to months ago.
Tel hasn’t been amazing for Spurs since arriving, but he’s only a young player and he has plenty of room to grow and improve.
Back in February, Postecoglou said in a press conference that Tel was signed with the idea of being at Spurs for longer than six months.
“He will play a significant part in our end to the season for sure and beyond,” Postecoglou said
“He wants to make an impact and I expect him to do that.
“He will be a Tottenham player. I think he will show everyone he will be a Tottenham player in the next six months. I didn’t bring him here for six months.”
Of course, a lot has changed since February, and it’s unclear whether Postecoglou will even be at Spurs for much longer.
Indeed, Postecoglou could still be sacked, and there’s no guarantee that Spurs’ next manager would even fancy Tel or Cardoso or Gomes for that matter.
Spurs are playing a risky game here in looking at new signings before their managerial situation is sorted.
