Tottenham Hotspur are moving full steam ahead with their transfer plans under Roberto De Zerbi.
The Italian came in last season and helped rescue Spurs from what would have proven a disastrous relegation, with the North London club securing their survival on the final day.
Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson have both arrived on free transfers as De Zerbi looks for more players who can provide experience and leadership for next campaign.
They are in talks with Manchester City over a deal for Savinho and have submitted two bids for Jan Paul van Hecke.
After finishing 17th in the Premier League, there will inevitably be exits from the club before the 2026/27 season gets underway.
There are reports Mathys Tel’s future at the club is in doubt, just 12 months on from his £30million switch from Bayern Munich.
Mathys Tel open to Tottenham exit
That is according to TEAMtalk, who report that a 'shock' move to Bournemouth is on the cards for Tel. The Frenchman joined Spurs permanently 12 months ago, after spending the second half of the 2024/25 campaign on loan in North London.
Tottenham's preference is keep to Tel but the player is said to be frustrated by his 'limited' role at the club and is keen to move somewhere he will play more regularly.
The Cherries are named as 'concrete suitors' for the player, as he explores his options. Porto are also credited with an interest alongside Ligue 1 side Lille and Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt.
Tel has struggled to establish himself at Tottenham since his move and despite showing flashes of potential, he remains a fringe player. He scored four goals in 31 Premier League appearances last season. He was only named in the starting XI for 13 of those games.
Tottenham should use swap deal to sign Alex Scott
GIVEMESPORT has reported that Spurs target Alex Scott is valued at £80million by Bournemouth. With no European football, Tottenham will have to be shrewd in the transfer market.
They have already made smart moves for Senesi and Robertson, with both players arriving on free transfers.
Manchester United and Liverpool are also clubs credited with an interest in Scott. If Spurs could offer Tel as part of a player-plus-cash swap deal, it could give them the edge in the race for the in-demand Scott.
United and Liverpool can both offer the player European football but if they are unwilling to meet the Cherries' £80million asking price, they will struggle to get any potential deal over the line.
For Spurs, negotiations could be made easier if Tel is included in any deal. Scott, according his former manager Nigel Pearson, is 'destined for the elite' - and this summer could be Tottenham's best chance to sign a player who supported Tottenham as a boy.
