"We're trying to integrate the incoming players as best we can and complete the squad, because we still have some work to do on the market,"

Tottenham Hotspur are braced for further interest in Lucas Bergvall.
The Swedish midfielder has been heavily linked with a move away from Spurs, with Nottingham Forest a potential destination. As reported by football.london, Tottenham have already rejected bids from Forest and Newcastle this summer.
Forest are interested in Manchester City's Tijjani Reijnders but the midfielder is reportedly a target for Saudi Pro League club Al Qadsiah, which could lead the side to step up their pursuit of Bergvall.

The Daily Mail reports that Spurs are not targeting a deal for Monaco striker Folarin Balogun.
The USA International has been linked with a move to Tottenham. However, the Daily Mail disputes that Spurs are pursuing the 25-year-old, insisting the club are not interested in Balogun.
However, it is reported that Tottenham are intent on adding to their forward line. Balogun scored 19 goals for Monaco last term.
Tottenham are reportedly "confident" of reaching an agreement for Manchester City winger Savino in the coming days.
ESPN Brasil reports that City have priced the forward at around £70m, with talks ongoing, but it is thought Spurs "will reach the figures demanded". It is claimed that Enzo Maresca's side have not rushed Savinho's exit as the club are yet to find his replacement.
Meanwhile, Savinho has reportedly made it clear that he wishes to leave City and has spoken to Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi about how he fits into the manager's plans.
Spurs have already been given an encouraging sign to target Victor Osimhen.
Spurs are being linked with a move for the striker, who is reportedly priced at around £55million by Galatasaray. Tottenham are claimed to face competition from Al Hilal for the 27-year-old, though the Saudi Pro League club would also need to offload Karim Benzema.
However, Spurs could have an advantage in the battle for his signature, as Osimhen has previously expressed admiration for the Premier League.

Spurs defender Djed Spence is nearing a move to Inter Milan.
Tottenham have reached a reported £26.9m deal with Inter for the full-back, according to Fabrizio Romano. The 26-year-old is claimed to have reached an agreement with the Italian giants.
Spurs have Pedro Porro as their first-choice right-back, while new signing Andy Robertson will challenge Destiny Udogie for the left-back berth. Liverpool had also been linked with a move for Spence, who starred for England at the World Cup.

Roma are in no rush to move for Destiny Udogie, according to La Repubblica.
The Giallorossi are said to currently be at odds with Spurs over the nature of any deal, with the Italian club preferring an initial loan.
Spurs have already recruited at left-back, with Andy Robertson arriving on a free transfer, though they may want another addition before selling both Udogie and Djed Spence.
Chelsea could stop Tottenham Hotspur from finally signing Savinho this summer.
The Manchester City winger has been heavily linked with a move to the Lilywhites for a while now as Roberto De Zerbi looks to bolster his frontline, but a deal appears to hinge on whether Enzo Maresca can draft a replacement before the transfer window slams shut.
football.london understands that Spurs are interested in signing Savinho, whose contract at the Etihad Stadium expires in June 2031, and they've already held talks with City over a potential fee.
However, it is claimed that Maresca has identified Pedro Neto as the ideal replacement for the Brazilian. But it would take a substantial fee to tempt Chelsea into selling the 26-year-old winger.
Former senior Tottenham scout Bryan King has told Football Insider that Djed Spence joining Arsenal would be a bigger deal than Cristian Romero's moving to the Emirates, with the Argentina defender recently linked with the Gunners.
He also believes Spurs should be demanding big money for England World Cup star Spence.
"I'd have thought it would have been a bigger coup if he'd gone to Arsenal than Romero. What a player to bring in," King said.
"Now he would be a player of interest. If it'd be Liverpool then I'd want big money for him. I would want a lot of money for him. They took the boy [Joe] Gomez, who was a South London boy, but Spence is a better player than him."
Paul Scholes believes Manchester United should attempt to hijack a move for Cristian Romero.
The Spurs centre-half is believed to be closing in on a move to Atletico Madrid, but Scholes reckons United should make a play for the Argentinian.
Scholes said on The Good, The Bad and The Football podcast: "You might laugh at this. I'll get a lot of stick for this. A centre-half I'd go and get now... Cristian Romero from Tottenham. I know he's a nutter. I know he's got disciplinary issues.
"But I just think he can be a very good centre-half and I think someone like Michael [Carrick] could really calm him down. And you're talking 30 or 40 million quid. This is a fella who's played centre half and won the World Cup. Now, like I said, I know he's got issues, disciplinary issues.
"I'd go and get Romero. I actually think he'll go to Atletico Madrid, but, you know you talk about 'mavericks'? And I know he's a centre half, but do you know what I mean? He's got that bit of an idiot about him. It's not a very nice thing to say, you know, a bit like [Eric] Cantona did.”
At the start of the transfer window, Fabrizio Romano claimed Destiny Udogie was seen as an essential component for Roberto De Zerbi.
However, journalist Alfredo Pedulla has stated the Italian full-back is no longer ‘untouchable’ at Spurs.
The report claims Roma are set to hold talks with Spurs over a deal to sign the 23-year-old.
Randal Kolo Muani has opened up about his short-lived Spurs loan deal, which yielded just one goal.
The French star returned to Juventus on a permanent deal this summer after spending the 2024/2025 season on loan at the Serie A side.
"There were several things that didn't work [at Spurs]," Kolo Muani told TuttoSport (via Chris Cowlin). "For me, it was something more personal. I think my mind was a bit elsewhere: I wanted to return to Juventus. It's also an episode in a player's career: not every season can be positive, we can say that.
"For me, it was a year in which I learned something: I had injuries, my first injuries, but luckily I was able to recover from all of them. I think it's due to all these things, but now it's a new championship, it's a new chapter for me. So I think it's a new version of me, let's say."
Man United legend Paul Scholes believes Spurs have signed the better player out of Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes, who has joined Arsenal. Tonali joined Spurs for a deal worth £100m earlier in the window.
“I think Bruno Guimaraes will make Arsenal a better football team,” Scholes said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast.
“I don’t think the football we watched from them was great. You need midfield players to make your team play good football – is he going to do that enough for Arsenal?
“I know they won the league but I don’t think they got the midfield right last season. Maybe this is the answer to it but I do think Sandro Tonali is a better player, he’s got more legs about him.
“I don’t think Bruno is amazing physically but he might be more suited to Arsenal.”
Cristian Romero looks to be moving closer to Atletico Madrid. The defender has been linked with an exit all summer, with Arsenal even credited with interest at one stage.
However, according to transfer reporter Matteo Moretto, Atletico are closing in on an agreement with Tottenham, with only minor details remaining to be resolved between the clubs.
