With just over a week left to go until the opening of the summer transfer window, a new report has revealed that Tottenham’s recruitment department has identified their top priorities, even though it is not clear who the club’s manager is going to be at the start of next season.
Everyone associated with Tottenham Hotspur is still on a high after Wednesday’s historic success, with the club picking up their first European trophy in 41 years with their win over Manchester United in Bilbao.
The win in the final was extremely crucial for the club going into the summer as Champions League qualification has given Spurs a massive financial boost ahead of the transfer window.
It is now up to the Lilywhites to use the opportunity wisely to close the gap with the top teams in the Premier League and they reportedly have a clear plan on how to do so.
Tottenham’s summer priorities revealed
BBC Sport have now claimed that there is a sense within the club’s recruitment team that their young squad needs to be supplemented with experience this summer.
Signing experienced and seasoned campaigners is expected to be one of the club’s priorities, with an established central midfielder said to be at the top of Tottenham’s summer wishlist.
The report says that the Lilywhites will also look to secure a ‘ready-made replacement’ for Cristian Romero if they lose the Argentine this summer.
