Against all the odds, Ange Postecoglou has guided Tottenham Hotspur to their first European honour since 1984 while also steering the North London side back into the Champions League for next season. It’s an outcome very few saw coming after the club’s worst domestic campaign of the Premier League era.
In the end, after a 4-1 home defeat to Brighton which encapsulated the overall standard of performances in the league, the Lilywhites finished in 17th position, picking up just 39 points, and falling to defeat on 22 occasions - which is their most since 1975.
However, Tottenham’s triumph in Bilbao over Manchester United could prove to be the catalyst for brighter times domestically for the club and potentially a new era of exciting arrivals. Champions League qualification crucially leaves the club on a much sounder footing in terms of Financial Fair Play heading into the summer and crucially gives the club added pulling power when it comes to attracting some of the biggest stars from around the globe.
It could prove to be a defining moment for the club after a calamitous league campaign as Postecoglou looks to get Spurs playing the same football that they did in his opening three months in charge while making them a force to be reckoned with once again.
With that in mind, we take a look at how Tottenham could rebuild the team next season, according to AI:
AI backs Tottenham to finally land £70m defender and ex-Man City hero
Tottenham Hotspur are expected to return to the table with a fresh approach to try and sign Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi. The England international has been the subject of interest from both Spurs and Newcastle United in recent windows and is now entering the final year of his contract at Selhurst Park. Guehi helped Palace achieve their first ever major trophy against Manchester City in the FA Cup final and is now guaranteed Europa League next season if he remains with the Eagles.
However, Tottenham after having a £70m bid rejected in January could look to take advantage of the defender’s contract situation and produce a fresh offer this summer. It’s a position Spurs definitely need to spend after conceding a staggering 65 goals in the league this term.
Elsewhere, AI expects Tottenham to target 29-year-old German international Leroy Sane after the expiration of his contract at Bayern Munich. The 69-time German international played in England with Manchester City, winning two league titles, one FA Cup and three League Cups while being named as the PFA Young Player of the Year.

Sane is blessed with exceptional speed, great agility, excellent ball control and has a superb record of scoring goals and making assists. He’s currently a free agent and has been linked with a move to North London in recent months.
Tottenham could offer Jack Grealish England lifeline
Jack Grealish was left out of the squad entirely during Manchester City’s 2-0 win over Fulham on the last day of the season. It’s a decision which only fulled more speculation about the former Aston Villa man’s future at the Etihad Stadium. Grealish joined City for a British record figure of £100m back in 2021 but has struggled to live up to expectations on an individual basis despite getting his hands on plenty of silverware.
He’s blessed with great technical qualities and is viewed as a maverick that’s capable of changing a game with a moment of magic. He’s expected to be available for a cut price figure this summer and could fit well into Ange Postecoglou’s style of play as he looks to revive his England career ahead of the World Cup in 2026.
