Tottenham can raise £167m on eight player sales as two attacking signings eyed

Tottenham have already splashed £237million on new signings but Roberto De Zerbi has now indicated they are only 60 per cent "done" in the transfer market this summer

At some point, the focus at Tottenham will shift to outgoings but for now, Roberto De Zerbi has indicated there could be more glistening new arrivals very soon.

Speaking in Sydney, the Italian told football.london that another "bomba" is on the way very soon.

The indications are this could potentially be a separate attacking arrival on top of Savinho, who is a long-standing Spurs target.

The Manchester City man has already informed his current employers that he wants to pursue an exit with Tottenham primed to pounce, providing both clubs can find middle ground on a fee.

Once Tottenham have bolstered their attack, it's clear they will have to raise some cash through departures, purely based on the fact their squad is already somewhat bloated.

Here's a look at which stars could go and how much their exits could raise - subject to how negotiations advance.

Guglielmo Vicario - £20m

The problem with Vicario is Juventus are seemingly the only club keen and they are never likely to blow a big fee on the Italian. They know Spurs want to sell and will probably seek to structure a loan-to-buy deal.

Some may feel £20m is below market value but given the lack of interest, it's hard to see Tottenham receiving much more than that.Souza - £16mThe young Brazilian arrived from Santos in January in a deal worth around £13million. Since then, Spurs have signed Andy Robertson and Djed Spence lit up the World Cup with England - then there's Ben Davies.

It's safe to say they're well-stocked at left-back so if a decent offer that would see them overturn profit lands on the table (Porto are reportedly interested) then Spurs may talk.

Cristian Romero - £40m

Romero is worth more than £40m but again, given the clubs that are interested, it's hard to see them earning his true market value.

It's clear he would be keen to move on, so that weakens Spurs' hand. Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have all been linked but there's not been any concrete movement to date.

Ashley Phillips - £8m

There's a chance Spurs could get a bigger fee for Phillips, who made the Championship Team of the Season last term following a bright spell with Stoke City.

The 21-year-old made 40 Championship appearances last season and is being courted by Middlesbrough.

He was not named in the club's pre-season tour squad, indicating a departure is probable.

Pape Matar Sarr - £20m

Given he joined for £14.6m plus bonuses from Metz in 2021, Tottenham will be pushing for a fee upwards of £25m, though that might not happen.

Sarr is a great age at 23 but is unlikely to get regular playing time at the club following the arrivals of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes. A departure feels likely with Brentford and Aston Villa among those linked.

Manor Solomon - £8m

We have a decent idea of the player's value given Spurs included an £8.6m (€10m) buy-option in Solomon's loan to Fiorentina in January.

While they did not trigger it, Tottenham will be seeking close to that figure amid reported interest from West Ham and La Viola.

Solomon's reps are working on his departure and a transfer seems likely to materialise.Dane Scarlett - £5m

Scarlett has had a positive pre-season on the back of various loans with Portsmouth, Ipswich, Oxford and Hibs.

Still, he's unlikely to feature in Roberto De Zerbi's plans for the upcoming campaign. His deal is up next summer and Spurs will be seeking a small fee for his services.Potential: Lucas Bergvall - £50m

Bergvall's future is still a tad uncertain despite De Zerbi's insistence that he wants to keep the Swede.

Regular minutes are unlikely due to Tottenham's stacked midfield roster and Newcastle saw a £46m verbal offer rebuffed earlier this month.

If they receive a £50m bid, it's one that might be considered if Bergvall pushes to depart.
