Thomas Frank is set to meet his Tottenham squad at the end of this week and the new head coach will be needing further new faces as pre-season gets up and running.
The Spurs players are expected to start returning to training at Hotspur Way from the end of this week, with many returning on Saturday, but with certain squad members returning on different days depending on when they began their holidays following international duty last month.
Frank has already met a couple of the injured players who were doing rehabilitation work when he stopped by the training ground a few weeks ago, including vice-captain James Maddison and defender Radu Dragusin.
The last players to return to the Enfield training complex are likely to be those who took part in the U21 and U19 European Championships this summer, namely Archie Gray who grabbed a winner's medal with England in the former, as well as Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert who reached the semi-finals with France. In the U19s competition, Mikey Moore and development squad player Reiss-Alexander Russell-Denny went out in the group stages.
The loan players will return to Hotspur Way for the first time in a while, including players such as Bryan Gil as he looks to return from his knee surgery late last season, Manor Solomon, Yang Min-hyeok, Ashley Phillips and Alejo Veliz as well as academy players like Jamie Donley, Will Lankshear, Josh Keeley, Alfie Dorrington, George Abbott, Alfie Devine, Matthew Craig and Luca Gunter.
Luka Vuskovic, who was on loan with Devine at Westerlo, will finally arrive at Tottenham after signing two years ago from Hajduk Split as the big centre-back had to wait until his 18th birthday to make the move according to EU regulations.
Frank will want to look at many of his squad before deciding what comes next for them and therefore what further areas of the squad need trimming and strengthening.
But who will be the next new face to walk through the doors at Hotspur Way? All eyes will be on a new signing with Spurs interested in potential targets across the game such as West Ham's Mohammed Kudus and Southampton's Tyler Dibling as they seek a new attacking player able to play on the right and up front and a midfielder as a priority for the squad.
The likelihood is that the next Tottenham transfer could be a centre-back though in the shape of £5million arrival Kota Takai after his club Kawasaki Frontale confirmed that the 20-year-old Japan international will travel this weekend to finalise a move.
In a statement to their supporters, the J.League club said: "We would like to inform you that Kota Takai will be leaving the team at the end of the activity on Saturday, July 5 in order to complete the necessary procedures and preparations for a transfer to an overseas club. We will notify you further regarding future plans as soon as they are officially decided.
"After the match against Kashima Antlers in the 23rd round of the J1 League on Saturday, July 5, Kota Takai will be giving a speech to the supporters. In addition, Takai will not be participating in the Fan Appreciation Day on Sunday, July 6."
That would suggest that the young centre-back will be joining up with Frank's pre-season next week and in plenty of time for the club's tour to Hong Kong and South Korea next month so he can continue to bond with his new team-mates.
