Tottenham Hotspur may be in the relegation zone of the Premier League currently, but they are planning for life in the division next season when it comes to what they want to do in the transfer window.
The north London side are currently two points adrift of safety with just five games remaining, and are winless under new manager Roberto De Zerbi, as they prepare to take on already relegated Wolves next at Molineux in a huge clash this weekend.
A win could help them move out of the drop zone, depending on West Ham United's result against Everton, but the club have already identified one star who they want to add to their squad if they are able to complete a great escape.
Tottenham Eyeing Igor Thiago Swoop
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Tottenham are eyeing a move to sign Brentford sensation Igor Thiago this summer to bolster their forward line.
Spurs currently have Richarlison, Randal Kolo Muani and Dominic Solanke as striker options in their squad, but the Brazilian is expected to move on, while the France international's loan is not expected to be made permanent. Solanke's fitness issues are also a concern, which has seen the club make adding some muscle to their front line a priority this summer.
Thiago, who broke the record for the most goals scored by a Brazilian in the Premier League in a season earlier in this campaign, has netted an excellent 24 goals in 35 appaearances this season, which has sparked major interest from clubs across the division.
The Bees do not want to lose their star forward again, having lost Ivan Toney, Yoanne Wissa, and Bryan Mbeumo in the last two summer windows, but their analytical approach means they are already eyeing up potential replacements in case a big bid arrives.
Igor Thiago Could Help Tottenham Hugely
Spurs have been an absolute shambles this season all over the pitch, and if they are able to avoid relegation then they will have a massive rebuild on their hands ahead of next season.
A reliable source of goals will be an important addition considering the issues they have in their attack at the moment, and Thiago's form this season suggests that he can be exactly that. Any deal wouldn't be cheap considering Thiago's form and importance to Brentford, but a deal is doable and the Lewis family have made it clear they are ready to spend if they have to.
