Tottenham have made a fast start to the summer transfer window as they look to put last season's disastrous campaign well and truly behind them, and their early business doesn't look like stopping.
Roberto De Zerbi has already brought in two new additions to his squad in left-back Andy Robertson and centre-back Marcos Senesi on free transfers from Liverpool and Bournemouth respectively.
Spurs need wholesale reinforcements after narrowly avoiding relegation from the Premier League. They conceded the fourth-most goals in the top-flight last season (57), but also scored the joint-eighth fewest goals (48).
As part of a significant rebuild this summer, Tottenham will be monitoring an array of players across Europe as De Zerbi looks to stamp his authority on his squad following the Italian's arrival in March. It appears as though the Spurs boss could look to his home country for solutions.

According to Italian outlet Tuttomercato, Tottenham are amongst the clubs that are monitoring the situation of Atalanta right wing-back Raoul Bellanova.
The 26-year-old's future is uncertain after a mixed campaign for the Nerazzurri, with the report claiming that Spurs, as well as Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest and Fulham, are amongst the clubs keeping tabs on the Italian. AC Milan are also said to be long-term admirers.
Bellanova, described as 'outstanding', registered just two assists and no goals in his 36 matches last season, having recorded an impressive 11 assists in the campaign prior and struggled for consistency. However, the report states that Atalanta could seek as little as 15-20million euros for the wing-back's services.
Bellanova could be a bargain addition
Despite an inconsistent season last term, Bellanova has shown that he is a competent wing-back, particularly during an excellent 2024/25 campaign.
If Tottenham could land the 26-year-old's services for a fee of around 15million euros, that would be seen as a bargain in today's market.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Spurs don't want to sell right-back Pedro Porro this summer amid interest from Real Madrid, but struggled with squad depth last campaign amid an injury crisis, particularly on the right-hand side.
The Lilywhites need to improve at both ends of the pitch and Bellanova could help do just that with his offensive and defensive capabilities.
