Tottenham Hotspur have started to take the transfer market by storm.
Just as Spurs are preparing to announce the £55m signing of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, talk of a swoop to sign Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest emerged from the blue.
Surprisingly, the deal accelerated in rapid fashion.
Gibbs-White is now set for a medical at Tottenham on Friday, after Spurs swiftly triggered a £60m release clause in the England international’s contract.
Now, a story from The Times shares what Tottenham plan to do next in the transfer window.
Tottenham targeting a new central midfielder and young player
Tom Allnutt and Charlotte Duncker now state that Spurs want to add a new centre-midfielder to the squad for Thomas Frank after wrapping up deals for Kudus and Gibbs-White.
The latter is more of a No.10 who plays in an attacking midfield role, as opposed to a more traditional central midfielder such as Rodrigo Bentancur, for example.
The Times add that Spurs are also keen to sign another young talent like Kota Takai, who arrived from Kawasaki Frontale in a £5m deal earlier this week.
Excitingly for Tottenham fans, it is also written that further additions are “to come” – so supporters should keep an eye out for more news once Kudus and Gibbs-White are signed.
Which central midfielder could Tottenham target?
There have already been several central midfielders linked with a move to N17 this summer.
The Sun have claimed that Hayden Hackney of Middlesbrough is a £20m target for Tottenham, who would actually tick both boxes of being a central midfielder and also a young talent, at the age of just 22.
In what would be a more difficult deal to complete, Football Transfers state that Spurs have internally discussed a move for Crystal Palace No.20 Adam Wharton.
However, the England international could cost as much as £70m.
Having said that, few people expected Tottenham to splash £60m to sign Gibbs-White, so anything is possible this summer.
