Tottenham Hotspur are working to complete seven signings this summer as ENIC go into overdrive in the transfer window.
Tottenham know that they got away with one after only avoiding relegation to the Championship on the final day of the Premier League season, and club chiefs know they now need to back manager Roberto De Zerbi in the market to ensure it never happens again.
One of Spurs' big weakness in recent seasons has been their defence, with the club conceding 183 Premier League goals across the previous three seasons.
The North Londoners have already moved decisively to try and fix their defensive issues, bringing in the experienced Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi on free transfers, while they have also reached a full agreement to sign another centre-back in Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton and Hove Albion in a deal worth £52m.
Tottenham are not done there though, with top sources reporting talks for Manchester City's Savinho, Newcastle United's Sandro Tonali, West Ham United's Mateus Fernandes, as well as trying to sort a permanent deal for Joao Palhinha following his successful season-long loan spell from Bayern Munich.
Spurs have spent just over £50m so far, and that number could soon go up significantly.
Tottenham Working to Complete Seven Signings
According to renowned Tottenham source Paul O'Keefe on X, Spurs are far from done with their summer business after already completing three agreements.
O'Keefe believes that the club will look to bring in four more signings in the remainder of the window, with four key positions identified.
Those include central midfield, where Spurs are already said to be holding talks over Palhinha, Tonali and Fernandes, with the suggestion that perhaps only one of those will join unless there is another major player exit from the engine room.
Then, De Zerbi also wants to strengthen his frontline, with a new left-winger, right-winger and a centre-forward wanted.
Who Could Still Leave Tottenham?
Tottenham will surely need to make some more room in their squad if further new players are to arrive, with major doubts over the future of captain Cristian Romero.
The Spurs skipper has been linked with a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for months now, and the arrival of two new centre-backs only hints more that he could be on his way, at a time when the club really wants to keep Micky van de Ven.
In midfield, it has been claimed by David Ornstein that De Zerbi wants to sign both Tonali and Fernandes for his midfield, and if that was to happen then surely there would be one or two exits in midfield as well.
There could be doubts raised over the likes of Pape Matar Sarr and Lucas Bergvall, who has attracted interest from other Premier League clubs in the past.
