Tottenham Hotspur are set to make an ambitious move to sign James Trafford in a potential big-money double deal, according to TEAMtalk.
Tottenham chiefs know that big changes need to be made this summer if they are to bring the club back up the Premier League table next season.
The first stage of that process was to appoint Roberto De Zerbi on a long-term contract, and now they need to provide the Italian with a squad capable of finishing higher up the league in England's top tier.
Yves Bissouma was confirmed as leaving the club on Wednesday following the expiry of his contract, but Ben Davies has signed a new deal to remain at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
They have also completed two incoming agreements in Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi on free transfers, with the former already officially announced by the club.
More new additions are set to follow though, with the club also in talks over a deal to sign Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton and Hove Albion.
The Dutchman would be the second centre-back signing should a deal be agreed with the Seagulls, with the player already deciding he only wants to sign for Spurs, suggesting a big exit could be coming in that position.
Tottenham Primed to Make James Trafford Move
As well as Van Hecke, Tottenham are also in talks over a deal to bring Manchester City attacker Savinho to north London.
Spurs attempted to sign the Brazilian winger this time last year, although they were unable to get a transfer over the line.
Tottenham chiefs are hoping for better luck this time around, and the £60m-rated 22-year-old could end up being part of a double transfer agreement if the north Londoners have their way.
According to TEAMtalk, Spurs are primed to make a move for City goalkeeper James Trafford, as their busy summer of recruitment continues.
The report says that the club see the 'world-class' stopper as a reliable, long-term option for the goalkeeper position, despite a tough season for the England international at the Etihad due to limited minutes.
Should Vicario leave Tottenham, then De Zerbi has identified £40m-rated Trafford as an ideal fit for his possession-based style of football.
Tottenham Face James Trafford Transfer Competition
Tottenham might not have it all their own way in any bid to land Trafford though, who is attracting interest from a number of Premier League clubs having found himself being the number two option at City behind Gianluigi Donnarumma this term.
The 23-year-old is emerging as a strong candidate to replace Emiliano Martinez at Aston Villa, with the Argentina international currently being linked with a move to Juventus.
Newcastle United also have a long-term interest in the England international, having tried to sign him before his move to the Etihad.
The report suggests that Trafford would be keen on a switch to St James' Park even without European football next season, if he was guaranteed more first-team minutes.
Leeds United are also keen on the former Burnley man as they look to secure a new number one before the 2026-27 campaign gets underway.
