Roberto de Zerbi says his side are targeting another attacker signing alongside their pursuit of Manchester City's Savinho.
The Brazilian in advanced talks over a move to north London, with Spurs also pursuing another unnamed target.
De Zerbi omitted the name of the player by design - but it will leave Spurs fans guessing who it could be.
Arguably the biggest available name is Paris St-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, who is valued at more than £140m and exploring his options away from the European champions. Liverpool are believed to be preparing an opening bid for the France international, who has also been on Arsenal's radar.
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has a £40m release clause in his contract, although his £325,000-a-week deal, which runs until 2028, could prove a stumbling block.
There is also a sense that, following his loan spell at Barcelona, the England international would prefer another move abroad after the Spanish champions opted against triggering a £26m option to buy.
Other potential targets could include Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen, Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, Chelsea's Pedro Neto or AC Milan winger Rafael Leao.
However, any suggestion remains speculative until Spurs reveal their hand or one of the clubs involved confirms an approach from chief executive Vinai Venkatesham and sporting director Johan Lange.
