There is not long to go until the Premier League returns for the 2025/26 season, with Tottenham Hotspur looking for a better league season than last time out.
Spurs finished the 2024/25 campaign in 17th place in the Premier League table. But a win over Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League final means that Champions League football will be played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the coming season.
Spurs open their Premier League campaign on Saturday afternoon when they take on newly-promoted Burnley at home (3pm kick-off). That game is likely to see some new faces making their league debuts for the club.
So far, new head coach Thomas Frank has made five summer signings, with the permanent transfers of Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel, Kevin Danso, Luka Vuskovic and Kota Takai. Spurs have also completed a loan move for defensive midfielder Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich.
There could be more movement, both in and out of the club between now and the end of the window. Clubs playing on Saturday, Sunday or Monday this weekend have up until 12pm on Friday to complete deals for the player to be able to feature in this weekend’s games.
With that in mind, here’s a look at the possible deals that Spurs could do over the next few days.
Incomings
It has been reported that Spurs are in talks with Manchester City over a deal for winger Savinho. The Brazilian arrived at the Etihad Stadium from Troyes last summer in a deal worth £30.8 million.
It is claimed that negotiations have taken place over a package worth around £43.3 million. While City are not actively looking to sell the player, the club will not stand in the winger’s way if he wants to leave.
With negotiations ongoing, a quick breakthrough could mean a deal being done this week in time for Savinho to make his debut at the weekend.
Spurs are also targeting both a number 10 and a centre-back before the end of the window, but any move for a player doesn’t yet seem close. The need for an attacking midfielder only increased due to James Maddison’s injury during pre-season.
Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze and Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss have been mentioned as possible targets, but Spurs will face competition for both players this summer.
Outgoings
Youngsters Dane Scarlett and Luka Vuskovic have both been made available on loan by Spurs in the transfer window and are reported to be gaining a lot of interest. If the right destination is found for either or both, then a deal could potentially be done very quickly.
Another potential outgoing is winger Bryan Gil. The Spaniard spent last season on loan with Spanish side Girona, but returned to Tottenham this summer.
