Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and sporting director Johan Lange could put together a formidable side for Ange Postecoglou by the end of the summer transfer window.

Spurs have already made several major statements of intent - the latest being the £65million signing of Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth. But what could Postecoglou's line-up look like if Levy and co. splash out on two more recruits?

Tottenham's predicted XI (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper: Vicario

No changes needed in the goalkeeper department. Guglielmo Vicario was widely held to be one of the signings of last summer - just £17m from Empoli - after shining in his debut Premier League campaign.

Defence: Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie

Although Tottenham shipped more than 60 goals in the league last term, Postecoglou couldn't have asked for more from his death-defying quartet. Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven provide pace in the middle, while Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie are full of attacking threat on either flank. It's no wonder the north Londoners have not made a single defensive signing all summer.

Defensive midfield: Bissouma, Ramsey

Even with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg gone and Giovani Lo Celso going, competition for minutes at the base of midfield will be intense in 2024/25, made even more so by the big-money signing of Archie Gray. But Gray is only 18, and Spurs are thought to be keen on having one more star in the middle of the park before the window slams shut.

They reportedly offered Lo Celso in a player-plus-cash deal for Jacob Ramsey in early July, although Aston Villa were unwilling to play ball. It would surely take a huge fee to convince Villa to part ways with their highly-rated academy product, but the prospect of pairing the 23-year-old with Yves Bissouma could prove too enticing for Levy to pass up on.

Attacking midfield: Eze, Maddison, Son

Michael Olise got his big move away from Crystal Palace earlier this summer and Eberechi Eze is also attracting widespread interest. Spurs are reportedly front and centre in the hunt for the wide man, who bagged 21 Premier League goals in his past two seasons and made it into England's Euro 2024 squad.

James Maddison was superb under Postecoglou in 2023/24, particularly at the start of the campaign, and with so many talented stars around him, he could once again be trusted to pull the strings. The signing of Solanke would also allow Son Heung-min to slot in on the left, where he has proven so dangerous over the years.

Striker: Solanke

Big things will be expected of the 26-year-old who, at one point, looked as though his stellar reputation at youth level may never translate to the senior ranks. A goal-laden few years at Bournemouth has seen to that.

Solanke must fend off competition from Richarlison, Timo Werner and Son to keep his place through the middle, while the likes of Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski will also be thirsting for minutes in attacking areas.

Tottenham Hotspur appeared to drop a hint about Giovani Lo Celso's future after he was left out of the 26-man squad that faced Bayern Munich on Saturday night.

Spurs welcomed Harry Kane and Eric Dier back to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in their final pre-season friendly before the 2024-25 Premier League season. It was a rematch after the two teams played in South Korea last weekend, with Bayern winning 2-1.

The German giants were again the winners in the second showdown despite Dejan Kulusevski firing the hosts in front after just 24 seconds. Goals from Dayout Upamecano, Serge Gnabry and Thomas Muller had Bayern 3-1 up at half-time.

Kulusevski scored again to make it 3-2 on the hour mark but Ange Postecoglou's team were unable to muster a late equaliser.

Yet despite having a 15-player bench against Bayern, with Ange Postecoglou bringing 10 of those players on for minutes, South American playmaker Lo Celso was absent.

He returned to training earlier in the week after helping Argentina win Copa America. It was expected the 28-year-old would play a part against Bayern but that he didn't hints he may be headed for the exit door.

There haven't been many links involving Lo Celso, whose contract expires in 2025, but the north Londoners are looking to trim down the squad and raise cash for some more incomings this summer which appears to put him on the chopping block.

If he leaves, the man signed from Real Betis for £55million in 2019 will depart having made 108 appearances for Spurs, delivering 10 goals and eight assists.

He earned just 597 minutes under Postecoglou last term when he was mainly utilised as a substitute. Only four of his 22 appearances were starts and he was hit by injuries.

Tottenham meanwhile presented Dominic Solanke to supporters on Saturday after the striker completed an initial £55million move - which could rise to £65m - from Bournemouth.

Postecoglou and co. are also showing interest in Crystal Palace's £60m-rated forward Eberechi Eze as they plot to sign a winger and would like to sign a back-up left-back.

Djed Spence was forced to start out of position on the left side of defence against Bayern. Destiny Udogie came off the bench to play 38 minutes after recovering from injury.

Fellow defender Emerson Royal is soon expected to join AC Milan for just shy of £13m. Oliver Skipp is another who could leave at the right price but is a valuable asset given he is homegrown.

Postecoglou said pre-match that Skipp's future is effectively in his own hands. "Depending on the individual players, they've got a career that they have to manage themselves," he said.

"Whether they think that this is the right place to keep progressing. I've always respected that a lot of those decisions also come down to them." Winger Manor Solomon and Dane Scarlett (on loan) are two others who may depart.

Tottenham's 2024-25 Premier League season starts against Leicester a week on Monday (8pm) with Spurs eager to avoid an upset against the newly-promoted Foxes.

Dominic Solanke's impending transfer to Tottenham might have progressed at a rapid rate, but the £65million deal may well have been 12 years in making, according to a social media post.

The 26-year-old is poised to seal a club-record switch to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after Spurs agreed terms with Bournemouth on a £65m deal, surpassing the £63m they paid to sign Tanguy Ndombele in 2019.

Solanke, who missed out on England's Euro 2024 squad this summer, made it clear he wanted the move - and the clues were already evident from his adolescent years.

A tweet from Solanke has resurfaced on X (formerly known as Twitter) from September 2012, where Spurs fans noticed his excitement about heading to the club's training ground in Enfield.

"Going to Tottenham training ground today, heard it's amazing," Solanke wrote.

Nearly 12 years later, Solanke would be returning to the same training complex to undergo his medical ahead of his big-money switch.

At the time, the striker was only 14 and a promising youth prospect on the books at Chelsea. He spent a decade at Cobham working his way through the ranks before leaving in 2017.

Solanke caused a stir by leaving the Blues for Liverpool on a free transfer, with the Reds paying £6.5million, with add-ons and other clauses included, after the clubs avoided a tribunal.

But after scoring just one goal in 27 appearances for the Merseyside club, Solanke opted for a fresh start on the South Coast and signed for Bournemouth in a £19m transfer.

He rediscovered his knack for scoring goals when the Cherries were relegated to the Championship, bagging 44 goals in 86 outings in the second tier. And while his first season back in the top flight produced a modest return of seven goals in 35 appearances, he enjoyed his finest top-flight season to date last year, finding the net 19 times.

Speaking about their interest in Solanke, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou admitted they had been searching for the ideal profile for a striker after Harry Kane departed 12 months ago.

"What’s important is the type of striker we get. You know we play a certain way," the Australian said.

"We demand certain things from a physical perspective from the technical aspects of it that it’s going be a striker that fits that mould.

“It’s still the area of the park we’re really probably the thinnest when I talk about squad-wise at the moment, so obviously that’s a focus for us.”

Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Dominic Solanke could end up working in Arsenal’s favour, as the Gunners gear up for the final month of the transfer window.

Arsenal are unlikely to be done in the transfer market, with Riccardo Calafiori the only confirmed arrival so far.

Calafiori joined as part of a £42million deal from Bologna, but the Italian is set to be joined by further fresh faces at the Emirates Stadium.

It’s reported Arsenal are keen on Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino, with his namesake, Mikel Arteta eyeing up midfield reinforcements.

Meanwhile, centre forward has also been mooted as a position Arsenal could look to strengthen before deadline day on August 30.

Viktor Gyokeres has emerged as a potential target for the Premier League hopefuls, who finished two points behind eventual champions Manchester City last term.

Arsenal weren’t alone with their Gyokeres interest, with rivals Spurs also said to have been sniffing around the Swedish goal machine.

But with Solanke said to be Tottenham Hotspur Stadium-bound, Arsenal’s path to signing Gyokeres appears to have cleared up.

That’s if Arteta and Edu decide to pursue the move, with the Gunners boss having thrown his weight behind Gabriel Jesus following Arsenal’s pre-season friendly win against Bayer Leverkusen.

Speaking in mid-week, Arteta commented: “The first feeling when I saw him [Gabriel Jesus], it was something different. I could sense it.

“The energy was different. The way he looks is different. The way he moves is different… he looks good.”

It was justified praise from the Spanish coach, given Jesus was one of four Arsenal scorers during the 4-1 victory over the German champions.

The victory handed Arsenal fans a welcome confidence boost ahead of the new season, but Arteta is still looking for more from his players if they’re to challenge for top spot in the league.

And a move for Gyokeres would likely elevate Arteta's side to a whole new level thanks to his goal-scoring exploits.

After their victory against Leverkusen, Arteta added: “We can take a lot of positives from the game as well as the result. The way we performed, there were lots of positive aspects, collectively and individually. I think we’ll take a lot from it. A lot of things to learn from it as well.

“I think we can improve, especially in the second half when we made seven changes. But again, a really good test, a really good team who are really well coached and it was a good performance.”

The season gets underway in earnest when Wolverhampton Wanderers travel to the Emirates for the opening game next weekend.

Bournemouth are reportedly eyeing Tammy Abraham as a potential replacement for Dominic Solanke, who is set to join Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs have finalised a £65million deal with Bournemouth for the England international, who had already agreed personal terms with Ange Postecoglou's side.

With last season's top scorer expected to leave in a record-breaking sale, Bournemouth have begun their search for a suitable successor. Roma striker Abraham, who has spent three seasons in Serie A, is believed to be on their radar and is keen on a return to the Premier League.

The former Chelsea striker, who was a team-mate of Solanke during their time at the Cobham academy, missed most of last season due to a severe anterior cruciate knee ligament injury that kept him out for 10 months. However, after returning to the pitch in April against fierce rivals Lazio, he is now focused on overcoming his fitness issues.

Abraham has two years left on his contract with Roma, but after recently signing Artem Dovbyk, last season's La Liga top scorer from Girona, the Giallorossi are open to negotiations and will therefore entertain offers.

According to Italian sources, Roma are eager to keen to save money on Abraham's wages as he earns between £3.5million and £4m net per season, a significant salary that could pose a challenge for Bournemouth if they decide to pursue their interest.

No discussions have taken place at this point. Importantly, Bournemouth's President of Football Operations, Tiago Pinto, who brought Abraham to Roma in 2021, maintains a strong relationship with the player, reports the Mirror.

It is understood that Pinto played a key role in attracting the former Aston Villa and Swansea City striker to the Stadio Olimpico, despite intense competition, and awarded him the No. 9 shirt.

AC Milan's summer overtures towards Roma's hitman Tammy Abraham hit a snag. It is understood the towering striker could be snapped up for £20 million, with Roma may be open to the possibility of an initial loan deal that could blossom into a full transfer.

Daniele De Rossi, Roma's manager, recently heaped praises on Abraham, saying: "Tammy is a strong player in our squad, then the market tells you that even those you thought you were keeping leave and those you thought were leaving stayed and had incredible seasons.

"He is an important player for us and could have a lot of value. He has recovered, I saw him in the last six months when he returned from a very serious injury. I know that what I saw is not the real Tammy and we are banking on him."

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly agreed a £65million deal for Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke - a club record fee for the north London outfit.

Spurs' previous transfer record stood at £63m, paid to French side Lyon for the acquisition of Tanguy Ndombele in 2019.

That's about to be broken though, with The Athletic reporting Solanke is poised to sign for Spurs, penning a six-year deal in the process.

The Englishman enjoyed a stellar campaign with Bournemouth last time around, netting 19 goals across 38 Premier League appearances for the Cherries.

Solanke was unfortunate not to have been picked for Gareth Southgate's Euros squad, with Cole Palmer, Phil Foden and Ollie Watkins the only English players to have scored more goals last term.

However, his strong form was enough to earn him a transfer to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while plugging a gap in Ange Postecoglou's starting XI.

The Spurs boss revealed during pre-season he and his team were working to add a centre-forward to the club's ranks.

Speaking earlier in the summer, Postecoglou said: "What’s important is the type of striker we get. You know we play a certain way.

"We demand certain things from a physical perspective from the technical aspects of it that it’s going be a striker that fits that mould.

“It’s still the area of the park we’re really probably the thinnest when I talk about squad-wise at the moment, so obviously that’s a focus for us.”

There had been hope that Richarlison would step into the striker-shaped hole left behind by Harry Kane last season, but through a combination of injuries and bad form, things didn't work out for the Brazil international.

Richarlison managed 11 goals in 28 appearances for Spurs - a respectable return, but nowhere near the volume required to lead the line for Tottenham.

Spurs' summer isn't expected to finish there though, with two more positions on the club's transfer radar.

It's claimed Tottenham will look to add reinforcements at left-back and on the wing before deadline day later this month.

Postecoglou will be hoping Solanke and any more new arrivals can help Spurs go one better and qualify for the Champions League.

Tottenham missed out on a spot in Europe's premier club competition last time around, finishing two points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa.

Their pursuit of a top-four finish begins a week on Monday when they travel to newly promoted Leicester City.

Tottenham's pursuit of Dominic Solanke could hinge on making room for the striker by offloading some of their fringe players.

Ange Postecoglou wants to sign the 26-year-old, who bagged 19 goals for Bournemouth in the 2023-24 campaign, to bolster his frontline.

The former Chelsea academy graduate is also keen on a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, although Richarlison's decision to snub a £60m transfer to Saudi Arabia could put a dent in their plans.

However, the north London outfit still have other ways of raising the funds to sign the Bournemouth star. Express Sport looks at four alternative players who could be sold to raise the £65m needed to meet their demands.

Oliver Skipp

Ange Postecoglou handed only five Premier League starts and 698 minutes of action to Skipp in total last season, suggesting he could be open to letting the midfielder leave with interest from Leicester City, Southampton and Ipswich Town.

Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma are all ahead of Skipp in the pecking order for the two places in the double pivot. That makes him vulnerable to being sold, even after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's loan move to Marseille.

Transfermarkt value him at £12.8m, which may be less than Spurs would ask for in this market. Skipp is only 23 and qualifies as a homegrown player for any Premier League club, and with over 100 appearances is quite experienced already.

Skipp's contract still has three years to run until 2027, so he won't be forced out by any means. But if Spurs receive a tempting offer this summer, their loyalty to the youngster might be tested.

Giovani Lo Celso

Behind James Maddison and perhaps Alfie Devine in the Spurs pecking order, Lo Celso is expected to end his four-year spell in north London this summer.

The 28-year-old has scored only three goals in 49 Premier League appearances since joining from Real Betis in a £55m deal in 2020. The Argentinian has spent 18 months on loan with Villarreal, who didn't take up their option to sign him at the end of the 2022-23 season.

It emerged in July that Aston Villa were open to a swap deal involving Lo Celso and Jacob Ramsey, but the mooted deal did not materialise.

The playmaker is keen to return to Betis this summer and while the fee would be a huge reduction on what Spurs paid, anything in the region of £10m-15m would represent a welcome boost to their transfer funds.

Sergio Reguilon

Spurs flogged the left-back to two different clubs in the 2023-24 season, indicating the Spain international simply isn't a part of Postecoglou's plans going forward.

Reguilon was a £25m arrival from Real Madrid in 2021 but, like Lo Celso, has struggled to lock down a regular spot and has made 67 appearances in total for the club.

Having been signed as emergency loan cover by Manchester United to cope with their left-back crisis, the Red Devils only used him 12 times before sending the Spaniard back to London in January.

He moved on loan to Brentford, and the good news is that his performances for the Bees were quietly impressive, giving the 27-year-old a fighting chance of earning a permanent move this summer. They would do well to get anything close to £10m for the full-back, but every little helps towards the £65m needed for Solanke.

Emerson Royal

Richarlison could soon be the only Brazilian left at the club as AC Milan close in on the signing of his close friend Emerson Royal.

The ex-Barcelona defender has been a bit-part player since arriving at the club and isn't guaranteed first-team football under Postecoglou.

The Rossoneri are determined to land the Brazil international and reports in Italy suggest a deal is close, boosting Tottenham's transfer budget - even if it means taking a loss on the £30m paid to sign him three years ago. Sky Sport Italia's Gianluca Di Marzio and Calciomercato.com value the deal at £12.8m (€15m) plus £1.6m (€2m) in bonuses.

Add together all four potential sales of Skipp, Reguilon, Lo Celso and Emerson, and Postecoglou could get his man without spending a net amount.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly eyeing up a double swoop in the transfer market once they secure the services of Dominic Solanke.

Solanke is said to be on the verge of completing a £65million move to the north London outfit.

The Bournemouth man found the net 19 times in the Premier League last term, with Solanke unfortunate not to have made England’s Euro 2024 squad.

His arrival should help fill the gap left behind by record goalscorer Harry Kane, who penned a nine-figure move to Bayern Munich 12 months ago.

But Spurs aren’t expected to rest on their laurels when Solanke’s signature is secured. Tottenham will instead turn attention to securing two more players, as per The Times.

A left-back is believed to be on the capital club’s radar after Ryan Sessegnon and Ivan Perisic were let go earlier in the transfer window.

Spurs are also said to be targeting a winger, with Ange Postecoglou not currently content with his options in attack.

No team inside the top seven scored fewer goals than Tottenham last season, indicating attacking reinforcements might be needed if Spurs want to kick on and challenge for the top four spots.

It’s suggested Spurs like the look of Pedro Neto, having previously scouted the Wolverhampton Wanderers ace.

Eberechi Eze has also been mooted as a potential option for the two-time English champions, although Crystal Palace’s asking price could force Spurs to look elsewhere.

Their London rivals are rumoured to be demanding a fee in the region of £60million for Eze - a valuation Spurs aren’t willing to match.

Spurs have already spent big this summer, with Solanke set to join £30m man Archie Gray among the new arrivals at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The teenager excelled for Leeds United in the Championship last season and is being tipped to go on and become a full England international.

Whereas Yang Min-hyuk has agreed to a move from Gangwon FC, but the 18-year-old won’t join the Spurs squad until January 2025.

Postecoglou and co. will be keen to have the majority of their transfer dealings wrapped up before the return of the Premier League in just over a week’s time.

Spurs head to Leicester City in the first Monday Night Football of the season, before welcoming Everton to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium a week later.

Teenage starlet Mikey Moore, 16, has reportedly agreed to sign a professional contract with Tottenham later this week.

The forward has been one of Spurs’ breakout stars in pre-season and may have give Ange Postecoglou something to think about heading into the 2024/25 campaign as the Aussie looks to assess his options in the final third.

Moore became the youngest player to make a Premier League appearances for Tottenham in May when coming on as a substitute in Spurs’ 2-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City. He has since been involved with the first-team and made several appearances during his side’s pre-season tour of Asia.

According to The Athletic, Moore has now agreed to pen his first professional deal with Tottenham on Sunday when he turns 17.

He will sign a three-year deal with the north London outfit, which is the longest deal that a player under the age of 18 is allowed to sign due to FIFA regulations.

Though it is not only the contract length which indicates the sheer level of trust that Tottenham have in the ability of the England Under-17 international.

Moore has also reportedly been offered a bigger salary than Spurs have ever proposed to a player before they have turned 17 in the hope of fending off interest from other clubs - highlighting that the higher powers at the club have recognised his level of talent.

The playmaker highlighted what he has to offer in the Premier League next season by scoring three goals in pre-season, bagging against Scottish side Hearts, Vissel Kobe and a Japanese youth team.

Postecoglou heaped the praise on Moore following his side’s victory over Vissel Kobe by revealing that the teen has shown that he warrants consideration as a first-team player heading into the upcoming campaign.

He explained: “Mikey has been fantastic since we brought him in. He’s earned his spot on the roster at the moment, he did at the end of last year.

“He got a run with the first team because we could see in training that he was handling himself really well and that’s followed through into pre-season training. All we can do is keep allowing him to develop. We have to remember that last year he had some injuries and he is only 16, but yeah, super exciting.”

Tottenham Hotspur's hopes of signing Lille striker Jonathan David have been boosted by the forward rejecting Roma. The Canadian striker, who has a year left on his current deal in France, has been linked with a host of European clubs this summer after scoring 26 times last season.

And the Serie A side reportedly made the 24-year-old a contract offer in a bid to bring him to Italy.

However, according to L'Equipe, David has turned down the move, despite still being keen to leave Lille.

Ange Postecoglou wants to bolster his forward options this summer, with the future of current No.9 Richarlison still in doubt. Timo Werner has extended his loan stay from RB Leipzig, but has scored just twice for the club after joining in January.

The club have signed Archie Gray from Leeds this summer, while Lucas Bergvall and Min-hyeok Yang have joined from Djurgarden and Gwangon FC respectively. But that trio all signify midfield options, while Spurs have also been linked with Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke.

David has now spent four years at Lille after signing from Gent in 2020. And he made an immediate impression in his first season, scoring 13 times as the club beat PSG to the Ligue 1 title.

He's also become a critical figure at international level, already having 54 caps to his name. He's scored 28 times for Canada and his goals were pivotal as his country qualified fo the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Spurs were beaten 2-1 in their latest pre-season friendly by Bayern Munich on Saturday, and afterwards Postecoglou admitted he was still searching for signings. However, he stopped short of specifically naming targets, and also conceded his overhaul would be completed this summer.

"We've added the two young guys, but I also think there's been growth from other guys from last year, which naturally makes us stronger," he said. "But yeah, we obviously still got a hand in this window, but I think we'll go beyond this window.

"This was wasn't just tinkering around the edges when I took over, it needed, you know, a big shift from where it was. I was just thinking about last year's pre-season, you know, I reckon 50% of the people who were on that tour are probably not here now."

The Australian has also said the incresed schedule for his club next season will mean more signings are needed. Tottenham ended up fifth in the Premier League in 2023/24, meaning Europa League qualification.
