Tottenham are now being linked with a talented youngster as they look to continue their bold summer transfer window. Spurs have already put together a record spend this window, splashing out more than £235million, with Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali taking up the bulk of that spending.

Roberto De Zerbi is being handed a huge budget, but it will come with the expectation of leading Spurs into Europe next season despite the club finishing firmly in the bottom half for the last two campaigns. That's going to be a big challenge, but the resources have been committed, and there is more spending expected before the summer is out.

Spurs now chasing young talent

According to TeamTalk, Tottenham are now eyeing young midfield talent Ousmane Diabate, who is currently with Turkish SuperLig side Genclerbirligi. The 18-year-old is a defensive midfielder who broke into the first team last season, albeit he only made four league appearances, but he has been impressing in the youth ranks.

That has been enough to draw the attention of numerous Premier League clubs, according to the report, with Aston Villa, Brighton and Brentford also said to be interested. Spurs and Brentford are said to have made advances at this stage.

The Guinea senior international has been compared to N'Golo Kante by some, according to the report, and a move within the next 12 months is said to be likely, even if it doesn't come this summer. It's claimed the player's contract allows for a cheap deal, at least by Premier League standards. But Diabate will want to play, and it will be interesting to see which of the Premier League clubs can convince the youngster of whatever path they are offering to their first team.

Tottenham need to keep up young recruitment

Summers like this one highlight why Spurs are going to need to keep recruiting young. Under Profit and Sustainability rules, clubs are rarely able to keep up hundreds of millions worth of spending summer after summer. It's for that reason why young recruitment is a wise move, as we have seen with Tottenham's rivals Chelsea.

At Chelsea, they have signed young players they can develop, and even if they end up selling those players, they contribute to the profit equation of PSR in a major way. Spurs have done a good job overall, with players like Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray likely to prove wise investments, but even younger and even cheaper is where the true return lies.

Tottenham Hotspur have made a surprise enquiry to sign Nottingham Forest defender Neco Williams this summer.

After an action-packed first month of the summer transfer window that saw them confirm six big signings, it has unsurprisingly gone a bit quiet at Tottenham in recent days.

Spurs have already transformed their defence and midfield engine room with half-a-dozen new faces, and now focus has switched to boosting Roberto De Zerbi's attack.

Of course, securing deals for forward players can often take longer than in other positions because of demand and asking prices, with Fabrizio Romano already confirming that Tottenham's top winger target is the same one they had 12 months ago, Manchester City's Savinho.

The north Londoners have been linked with other wide players such as Antonio Nusa of RB Leipzig and AC Milan's Rafael Leao, but it is the Brazilian with Premier League experience who is their number one choice to bolster the left flank.

Spurs are also considering bringing in a new centre-forward to provide competition for Dominic Solanke and Richarlison next term, with the latter potentially leaving having long been linked with an exit from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Bournemouth's Eli Junior Kroupi appears to be the top target there, but a move for Williams at Forest would be a surprise.

Tottenham Make Neco Williams Enquiry

One position Tottenham do look to be well-stocked in right now is the full-back area.

On the left-hand side, they have new signing Andy Robertson competing with Souza and Ben Davies, with Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence also able to play there.

On the opposite flank, Pedro Porro will be first-choice under De Zerbi next season fresh from committing his long-term future to the north London outfit, while Spence will be back-up there too, and Archie Gray has performed well there too.

However, Spurs have made an enquiry about signing Neco Williams, according to a top Spurs source on X.

The 'outstanding' defender has primarily played left-back for Forest in recent times, but he is also versatile and can play effectively on the right too, but a move makes little sense right now given the depth they have.

Spence is being linked with a move away from the club fresh from his exploits with England at the 2026 World Cup, so perhaps interest in Williams could become more concrete should he depart.

Arsenal Overtake Tottenham in Junior Kroupi Race

Tottenham are said to have suffered a blow in their bid to sign Junior Kroupi from Bournemouth this summer, with one outlet suggesting that they have been overtaken by arch-rivals Arsenal in the bid to land the exciting Frenchman.

The Cherries are determined to keep hold of the 20-year-old after a stunning breakthrough Premier League season in which he scored 13 goals in 33 top flight appearances.

Bournemouth are said to value the striker sensation at the £100m mark which, according to Football Insider, could price Tottenham out of a move given the business they have already done this summer.

Newcastle United have been dealt another major blow after their deal for Johan Manzambi was hijacked by Aston Villa, and now they are on the hunt for alternatives.

The Magpies reached an agreement with Freiburg on a deal worth €60m (£51.2m) to sign Switzerland's star man following a breakthrough World Cup campaign, and had agreed personal terms with the 20-year-old too. However, Villa swooped in and struck an agreement, leaving Newcastle empty-handed once again.

It's a familiar feeling for Eddie Howe's side, following similar situations with Benjamin Sesko, Hugo Ekitike, and Victor Munoz over the last 12 months, and now they are finding a way to strengthen the midfield without their top target being in contention.

Newcastle Eyeing Archie Gray Move

According to The Chronicle Live, Newcastle are now eyeing up a move to sign Tottenham star Archie Gray as an alternative to Manzambi.

Gray, who has bene described as 'phenomenal', was one of the club's top performers in 2025/26 as they narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship, and there is big belief that he could go on to become a future England star in the coming years.

The 20-year-old won a clean sweep of Spurs' player of the season awards for the campaign, and that has caught the attention of Newcastle and Howe, as they look to replace Sandro Tonali in their midfield too.

It was revealed earlier this month that Newcastle had a formal bid rejected by Tottenham for the midfield talent, who can also play across the back four, but they are now considering returning for him after their latest transfer window setback.

It's unclear if Spurs would be willing to sell him, despite having signed both Tonali and Mateus Fernandes for a combined £185m this summer, but Newcastle could be ready to swoop to offer him more regular first-team football.

Gray a Typical Newcastle Signing

Newcastle would absolutely love to bring in a player like Archie Gray this summer, but the circumstances around their interest have likely put a dampener on things.

Gray is an incredibly talented young footballer, and someone that Eddie Howe would love to work with, to help develop, and also to help improve the team across a number of positions.

It won't be cheap, but they clearly need to make an impact in the market at this stage, and with Gray's game time likely to be more limited in north London, it's one to keep an eye on in the coming weeks.

Arsenal are said to have leapfrogged Tottenham in the race to sign a Premier League attacker who is expected to move this summer. The Gunners have had a quiet summer so far, aside from the surprise goalkeeper signing of Illan Meslier, but they are expected to pull off a couple of big-money moves.

Mikel Arteta wants a left winger and a box-to-box midfielder as priorities, while he may end up needing a striker and perhaps some other positions based on potential exits. Meanwhile, Tottenham are now going all-out for attacker signings having taken care of their defence with the signings of Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi, and the midfield with the signings of Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali.

Despite racking up a record spending total, Tottenham are going to continue to spend, and they now want an attacker, but rivals Arsenal might just get in the way.

Arsenal now lead race for Tottenham target Kroupi

According to Football Insider, Arsenal are now leading the race to sign AFC Bournemouth star Eli Junior Kroupi. It's claimed Arsenal and PSG are the most likely destinations because of a likely asking price of £100million from Bournemouth, who do not want to sell.

Pete O'Rourke said on the Transfer Insider podcast: "Spurs won't be alone in their pursuit of Kroupi if there's any indication that he could leave. PSG are admirers and Arsenal are also keeping tabs on the situation, so it'll be a difficult race to win. Bournemouth don't want to sell and the price tag could maybe put him out of Tottenham's reach."

Spurs are likely to spend another big fee to sign an attacker, but £100million is likely to be too rich for their blood after spending £235million already. Exits are likely, which could help, but it would likely take a big Richarlison or Dominic Solanke exit to allow them to go into the market for a £100million attacker.

As for Arsenal, they are going to prioritise a Morgan Rogers deal, but Aston Villa could price them out of that deal, leading them to look elsewhere, although they will prioritise a left-wing signing over a striker recruit, and Kroup is mainly a centre-forward.

Kroupi a 'generational' talent

Kroupi impressed in a game against Arsenal last season, scoring a superb 25-yard strike in the 3-2 defeat. Speaking after that game,

Bournemouth star Marcus Tavernier said: "I’ve said before, Junior is a generational talent. The club has done an amazing job to pick Kroupi up.

“That boy has an unbelievable future ahead of him and today he showed why he’s such a good talent in the world of football.”

Bournemouth signed Kroupi for just £12million, and they are now set to make a giant profit if they do ultimately decide to sell.

Tottenham Hotspur are set to complete another major transfer today with Luka Vuskovic expected to complete a move to Brighton and Hove Albion, according to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg.

Tottenham have been the busiest Premier League club by a mile in the summer transfer window, adding half-a-dozen new faces to Roberto De Zerbi's squad as they look to forget successive 17th-placed finishes and move up the standings next term.

The Italian boss will want the north London outfit competing at the top of the table and it isn't as ridiculous as it sounds, given they have no extra European football to contend with during the 2026-27 campaign.

Last time out, Manchester United finished third in similar circumstances, and if De Zerbi can land the attackers he wants in the remainder of the window, he may well be targeting doing the same and securing Champions League football for Tottenham again.

While Spurs' defence and midfield has been transformed in a matter of weeks with new signings, attention has now turned to strengthening the attack with Fabrizio Romano confirming that their top winger target is Savinho, while they are also being heavily linked with Eli Junior Kroupi at Bournemouth.

With all the incomings, players will inevitably leave and Vuskovic looks set to be the next out the door.

Brighton to Seal 'Dream' Vuskovic Signing Today

According to Plettenberg, posting on X, Monday is Luka Vuskovic day and he will have a medical and sign his contract to become a new Brighton and Hove Albion player.

Tottenham were reluctant to lose the highly-rated centre-back, but his first-team opportunities would have been limited at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season following the additions of Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke, with Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero also both still at the club as things stand.

The deal is set to be worth a total of just under £50m for Spurs, who have also secured a 20% sell-on clause for the Croatia international.

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler played a key role in the move, helping persuade the teenager to move to the Amex for regular minutes.

According to a separate report, Tottenham have also held talks over a deal to bring Harry Kane back to the club in a sensational move for next summer.

Spurs are said to be keeping 'close contact' over a potential transfer for their former captain, with the outlet's sources believing that the north Londoners could be in a position next summer to offer the Bayern Munich star a route back to London.

Kane only has 12 months remaining on his contract with the Bundesliga champions, but it is expected that he will sign new terms to remain at the Allianz Arena.

The 32-year-old has been in sensational form for Bayern after joining them from Tottenham in 2023, scoring a remarkable 146 goals in 147 appearances for the Bavarian giants.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are also said to have an interest in the England captain if he does become available.

Tottenham Hotspur chiefs are now growing in confidence that they will seal a deal to sign Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi this summer, according to TEAMtalk.

There is no doubt that Tottenham are winning in the transfer window in terms of Premier League clubs, having made six quality signings since the window opened four weeks ago.

The free transfer additions of Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Martin Dubravka were impressive enough, with all three bringing huge Premier League experience and Robertson having won both the Premier League and the Champions League during his time with Liverpool.

It's only got better too since the north Londoners started spending money for signings, with Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali joining for a combined fee of around £235m.

The latter two in particular were also wanted by big clubs in the Premier League and in Europe, and both represent quite the coup for a team that finished in 17th position in the English top flight last term.

Having transformed the defence and midfield engine room, now attention has turned to strengthening a frontline that suffered from injuries and general poor form last term.

Tottenham Preparing Junior Kroupi Bid

Tottenham have received a huge boost in their bid to land exciting Bournemouth attacker Eli Junior Kroupi this summer, with Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain turning their attention to a deal to sign Barcelona forward Ferran Torres instead.

According to TEAMtalk, PSG had identified Junior Kroupi as a 'dream' replacement for Goncalo Ramos following the Portugal international's big-money move to AC Milan, but the youngster isn't willing to accept a move to the Parc des Princes to be a back-up player.

Now, the Ligue 1 giants are making progress on a move to sign Torres, with personal terms already agreed and club-to-club talks advancing.

It all means that Spurs officials are increasingly confident of sealing a deal for the 'world-class talent', as they get ready to test Bournemouth's resolve with a bid, in the hope that a deal worth around £85m will be enough to convince the south coast outfit to sell.

Joining Tottenham Really Appeals to Junior Kroupi

The second big boost for Tottenham in their pursuit of another exciting Premier League player is the fact that he is said to see the prospect of linking up with De Zerbi in north London as being 'hugely appealing'.

The youngster is said to value regular first-team football over playing for a huge club where he will be out of the starting XI more often than not, which could make Spurs the perfect move.

Tottenham believe that both the player and his representatives are open to the move this summer, and they see him as a player who is capable of leading their attack for many years.

The biggest challenge will be producing an offer that is good enough to tempt Bournemouth to sell, given they are insisting he is untouchable ahead of the club's first ever European campaign under new manager Marco Rose next term.

Tottenham have held talks to sign one of the best players in the world in a sensational move for the club.

It's already been a successful summer transfer window for Tottenham, who have made a host of new additions.

Spurs have prioritised strengthening their defence and midfield while also bringing in a back-up goalkeeper.

Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, and Andy Robertson have all made the move to Tottenham this summer.

Spurs don't appear to be finished there, though, as they look to switch their attention to strengthening in the forward positions.

Signing a striker and a winger could be their next priorities, but they'll be happy with the business they've already done in early July.

Tottenham hold striker transfer talks

According to a report from Team Talk, Tottenham are ready to sign Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane in the summer transfer window, looking to bring him back to Hotspur Way in a sensational move.

Spurs have held talks over a possible move for the England international, and they are well informed on developments surrounding their former player.

Tottenham could be in a position to bring Kane back to the club, potentially next summer, with intermediaries actively sounding out a potential next move for the striker.

Bayern Munich are in talks to extend his contract, which is no surprise given how crucial he's been since his move to the Bundesliga.

Despite that, clubs are lurking in the background, including Tottenham.

Kane still one of the best in the world

Kane is proving at the World Cup that he's still one of the best players in the world.

He certainly shouldn't have had anything to prove, though, if his 25-26 season was anything to go off.

The English striker scored 64 goals in 56 appearances for Bayern Munich last season in all competitions, meaning he now has 146 goals in 147 games for them.

At the age of 32, he remains one of the best, with journalist Dom Smith describing him as 'the best footballer in the world'.

Convincing Bayern Munich to part ways with the forward is going to be a difficult task, but Tottenham will certainly try if it's possible.

Savinho is now one of two Manchester City stars who are on Roberto De Zerbi's wishlist as he kickstarts a new era at Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs have been eyeing the Brazilian winger since last summer and Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that he remains a "top target." The Lilywhites want to bolster their attack after overhauling De Zerbi's midfield.

Sandro Tonali arrived from Newcastle United in a £100 million deal, while Mateus Fernandes followed him to North London from West Ham United for £85 million. With the midfield seemingly sorted, attention has turned to the attack, which needs a reboot.

Tottenham Now Eyeing Marmoush

Spurs narrowly avoided relegation last season and a major issue during a campaign to forget was a lack of firepower. Richarlison topped the goalscoring charts with 11 goals and loanee midfielder Joao Palhinha came second with just five.

To address this issue, De Zerbi's transfer chiefs have now reportedly set their sights on Omar Marmoush, per TEAMtalk. The City forward has endured a difficult spell at the Etihad since arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2025 for £60m.

Marmoush started just eight of 21 league games last season, managing three goals and as many assists. That's a disappointing tally for a player who starred in the Bundesliga.

The 27-year-old registered 37 goals in 67 games for the German club and had been on Spurs' radar before joining City. His lack of game time could lead to a summer exit, although he's thought to want to speak to new manager Enzo Maresca before making a decision over his future.

Marmoush is a Possible Solution For De Zerbi

It's an exciting time to be a Tottenham fan as the club's higher-ups are putting their money where their mouths are. They seem intent on handing De Zerbi a new superstar centre-forward and Marmoush fit the bill before his Etihad struggles.

Both Spurs and Newcastle are thought to admire Marmoush's ability to play as a striker, second striker and a winger. His versatility could be of great use to De Zerbi, who began his reign without Dejan Kulusevski and Mohammed Kudus due to injury.

Tottenham are interested in signing Eli Junior Kroupi, but they have alternative options, with Bournemouth potentially demanding in the region of £100m.

After heavily focusing on bringing in new defenders and midfielders, attention for Tottenham could turn to improving their forward line.

Marcos Senesi, Jan-Paul Van Hecke, and Andy Robertson joined the club to improve their defence, whilst Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes improved their midfield options.

Signing a new centre forward could be one of their priorities. Randal Kolo Muani spent last season on loan at Spurs, but it appears that they will not be signing him on a permanent basis.

Kroupi does appear to be a key target for Tottenham, but whether they will pay the asking price remains to be seen.

Tottenham eyeing free-agent striker

According to a report from Team Talk, Tottenham are considering a move to sign free-agent striker Dusan Vlahovic if they fail to agree a deal for Kroupi.

Roberto De Zerbi wants to bring in a new striker and a new winger during the summer transfer window. Bournemouth are set to charge in the region of £90 million to £100 million for Kroupi, but Spurs are considering making a £75 million bid.

Vlahovic is being eyed as an alternative and would certainly be a lot cheaper, considering he is a free agent.

You could certainly argue that Vlahovic would be the better value-for-money signing, especially if Bournemouth are unwilling to drop their asking price.

Vlahovic the more proven option

Vlahovic is certainly the more proven option between him and Bournemouth forward Kroupi, at the age of 26.

Kroupi has had just one season at Premier League level, although it was an incredibly impressive one.

The 20-year-old is set to cost a huge amount of money, which is very common for clubs selling from Premier League to Premier League.

Tottenham might be better off bringing in Vlahovic on a free transfer and signing a younger, unproven striker alongside him.

Kroupi is simply too expensive for Tottenham, although that hasn't put them off with other deals during the summer transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur have been offered the chance to sign a big-money striker as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of next season, according to GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Ben Jacobs.

Tottenham and ENIC have gone into overdrive in the summer transfer window to ensure Roberto De Zerbi has the squad he needs to lead the club up the Premier League standings, having only confirmed survival on the final day of last season.

Spurs have already brought in half-a-dozen players to transform their defence and central midfield, including breaking their transfer record twice to first sign West Ham United's Mateus Fernandes, and then Newcastle United's Sandro Tonali.

The north London outfit will surely need to sell some players next for financial reasons as well as reducing the size of the squad, with Cristian Romero, Luka Vuskovic, Guglielmo Vicario and Richarlison among those heavily linked with an exit from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham's next transfer priority is to boost their frontline, with talk that they want to add a new left-winger and a new centre-forward to De Zerbi's squad, especially if Richarlison does go.

Eli Junior Kroupi of Bournemouth is a confirmed target, but they have been offered another player.

Tottenham Offered Chance to Sign Kolo Muani

After an underwhelming season-long loan spell at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spurs had seemingly decided not to try and sign Randal Kolo Muani on a permanent deal from Paris Saint-Germain.

Instead, the €90m (£77m) forward has been keen to join Juventus with talks underway between the two clubs, but PSG have grown frustrated by the lack of progress over a move.

The Champions League holders have now performed a big U-turn and have opened the door for other European clubs to sign the 27-year-old.

According to Jacobs, speaking on the latest episode of GIVEMESPORT's Market Madness Podcast, Tottenham are one of the clubs who have been contacted over a move for the France international.

The journalist said: "Now, what's happening is PSG have moved from giving preference to Kolo Muani's desired move to opening the door to both English and, I'm told, German suitors as well, because they want to get this deal done, they want to facilitate the sale, and it's currently not progressing with that move to Juventus.

"So now PSG have to start looking at other options, and that's where Spurs come in. I'm not aware that Spurs have made a decision on Randal Kolo Muani yet, and if they want to try and do that deal, and the expectation was that he would just go. But it's PSG driving the possibility to other clubs and offering him back to Tottenham and others to see whether there's a deal to be had because they're not making progress at the moment.

"But Kolo Muani has got one preference; he wants to go to Juventus, and we still shouldn't discount that move."

Tottenham Have Number One Winger Target

Tottenham are determined to land a new left-winger this summer, but despite links with the likes of Rafael Leao and Cody Gakpo, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Manchester City forward Savinho is their 'number one, two and three' target for the position.

Spurs tried to sign the Brazilian last summer and it appears as though their interest in the player is still strong, even though De Zerbi only joined the club a few months ago.

The north London outfit need to offer a number that will convince City to sell, with the former Premier League champions knowing they have money to spend after their £185m outlay on Fernandes and Tonali.
