Tottenham appear to be in the market for good quality, sensible free transfers this summer.
Deals are agreed in principle for Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi to arrive at the club, following the end of their contracts at Liverpool and Bournemouth respectively.
Spurs have also been linked with moves to sign John Stones, following his release from Manchester City, and Harry Wilson, who is leaving Fulham at the end of his contract at Craven Cottage.
All four, should Tottenham complete deals, would be impressive deals for Roberto De Zerbi and would give him the strength in depth he is looking for in his Spurs team ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
Free transfers would allow Spurs to spend in other areas of the pitch
Even if it is only the first two, or three of the four that come in, it would represent good business from a club that has so often been derided for its work in the transfer market in recent seasons.
Signing players out of contract would allow Tottenham to spend big on other players, spreading the overall cost of improving the squad in the summer transfer window somewhat.
And there is another free transfer that Spurs should definitely be looking at - Dusan Vlahovic - and it appears as though they are after reports they are in talks with the Serbian's representatives.
It was revealed on Wednesday that there would be no agreement between the 'world-class' striker and Juventus over a new deal to remain at the Allianz Stadium, meaning he is out of contract this summer.
Tottenham are likely to be in the market for a new No.9 this summer, with question marks over the futures of both Richarlison - who was Spurs' top scorer in the 2025/26 season - and Dominic Solanke.
GIVEMESPORT senior football correspondent Ben Jacobs said last month: "Richarlison has had an excellent season, but is drawing interest from Saudi Arabia, and Dom Solanke even has some formative interest too, and regardless of what happens with either of them, I expect Tottenham to attack the market for a No.9, and a new winger is possible too."
Vlahovic has spent the last four-and-a-half seasons with Juve, after signing in a £66.6million deal from Fiorentina in the January transfer window of the 2021/22 season.
The big Serbian is only 26 years old and entering his prime as a striker and his profile would surely fit the Premier League. Upon signing for Juventus, a BBC analysis described him as being "strong in the air, skilful on the ground".
Former Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri said after signing him: "He is a young boy, with little international experience, who however has quality, wants and can improve, and has plenty of time to do it. He has an absolute nastiness. Juventus made an important purchase. In the world, he, Kylian Mbappé, and Erling Haaland are the strongest of their generation."
High praise indeed from someone who has been around the football block.
Vlahovic has the stats to back up his price tag if you dive deep enough
On the face of it, Vlahovic's numbers do not stand out as exceptional. He notched 10 goals this season and provided a further two assists. But delve a little deeper and you find that these goals and assists came from just 23 appearances, so he averaged a goal contribution better than every other game.
Delve even deeper and you see that he only played 1,162 minutes of football. That means he actually averaged a goal contribution very 96.8 minutes on the pitch - not bad at all.
It was a reasonably similar story last season when he netted 17 goals and gave five assists to teammates in 44 matches. He was on the pitch for 2,696 minutes that season, meaning he averaged a goal contribution every 122.5 minutes on the pitch.
He has had his injuries and he has had his problems at Juventus, but when he plays, he has an impact where you want him to most.
Tottenham need a striker and while he may not be one that you can rely on to play every single game, a profile of his in squad rotation could be perfect for De Zerbi and on a free transfer, it's a no-brainer.
