Roberto De Zerbi has already made his presence felt at Tottenham Hotspur since coming in as manager, and now he is ready to put his imprint on the squad too.

The Italian helped Spurs to steer clear of relegation at the end of last season, and now he has already added Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Mateus Fernandes to the side, while a £100m deal for Sandro Tonali has also been agreed.

The north London club are now looking at potential departures, with a £50m deal agreed for Luka Vuskovic to depart to Brighton, but now the manager has made a firm decision on the future of a talented attacker at the club.

De Zerbi Tells Moore He's Not In His Plans

Spurs are understood to be in the market to strengthen their attack next, with a move for Man City star Savinho understood to be the priority target at this stage, with talks ongoing and the player keen on a move.

There are already a number of options in attack available at the club, despite some long-term injuries, and the club are also set to welcome back young winger Mikey Moore from his successful loan spell at Rangers last season.

However, it has now emerged that Moore, who has been described as 'special', will not be part of the first-team squad next season and will instead be loaned out once again, after being told by the manager that there is no pathway for him this year.

Rangers are very keen on re-signing the winger, while he also has interest from European clubs in the Bundesliga and Eredivisie. Spurs have zero interest in letting Moore leave permanently this summer, unlike Vuskovic, but they are open to letting him go on loan again to continue his development.

It remains to be seen if Rangers will go back in for him after changing manager, but Moore has publicly admitted he would be open to a return to Ibrox if a deal could be agreed.

Tottenham Can't Block Moore Pathway

When you have a talent as good as Mikey Moore, it is the responsibility of the club to get them into the first-team on a regular basis.

Spurs are in a strange position where they need to win now after consecutive 17th-placed finishes, and that means that De Zerbi cannot afford to make any gambles with his squad.

But while attacking signings are expected, and Moore is set to depart in the short-term, Tottenham cannot block his long-term pathway in the same way they did with Vuskovic, or they risk fumbling one of their best young talents in recent memory.

Tottenham Hotspur have been one of the most active clubs in the transfer window so far this summer, and they've made another decision on an outgoing.

Spurs have brought in five players already in Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Mateus Fernandes, while they have also agreed a £100m deal with Newcastle to sign Sandro Tonali too.

A deal to sell teenage sensation Luka Vuskovic to Brighton for £50m has been agreed to help balance the books, but with Roberto De Zerbi looking to rebuild his squad in the coming weeks leading up to the new Premier League season, they have now decided to part ways with another first-team star.

Tottenham Make Romero Transfer Decision

Club captain Cristian Romero has been heavily linked with a move away from north London this summer, amid concerns over the lack of ambition shown by the club in recent years following back-to-back 17th-placed finishes.

Spurs responded by splashing the cash this summer, including signing two new centre-backs to go alongside Micky Van de Ven, Kevin Danso, and Romero. But it has now emerged that De Zerbi and Spurs chiefs are ready to allow Romero to move on, despite having only signed a new contract last summer.

Romero, who has been described as 'world-class', had made the decision to make a move this summer, but there has been very little talk about a potential exit during his time with the Argentina squad during the World Cup.

However, Spurs now view this summer as the perfect time to cash in and let him move on after strengthening their squad, with the player having three years remaining on his deal and putting in good performances.

A host of top European clubs are understood to be keeping a close eye on the 28-year-old, including Atletico Madrid, and Tottenham will not stand in his way should they receive an acceptable offer.

Perfect Time to Cash in on Romero

Romero is one of the top defenders in the Premier League when he is at his best. However, as we saw last season, he also has some major flaws in his game, most notably when it comes to his disciplinary record.

With De Zerbi looking to implement a new system with players of his own, anyone who doesn't want to be in north London and potentially could cause a problem should be shipped out, and Romero certainly fits that bill.

His performances at the World Cup will likely attract more interest too, but with Spurs being open to letting him go, this is likely a deal that will accelerate once the tournament ends.

Tottenham could be one step closer to landing a pay day as they look to balance their huge summer spending. Spurs have already put together a club-record window, spending more than they every have to land Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, while they have also snapped up others on cheap or free deals.

Roberto De Zerbi is being backed like no other Spurs boss ever has, but his squad overhaul will not be done by recruitment alone. Players are going to have to leave the club, and there are some strong candidates.

One of the main candidates is goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who is being linked with a return to Italy this summer, and that eventuality may be one step closer.

Leeds United lead Suzuki race

According to MOT Leeds News, Leeds are currently winning the race to sign Parma and Japan goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, who impressed at this summer's World Cup. It's reported the keeper is happy to join Leeds, and that a £25million deal is in the offing, as long as the Yorkshire club decide to pay the lofty sum.

According to Italian journalist Gianluigi Longari, Juventus are interested in signing Suzuki this summer after missing out on Alisson Becker, who is staying at Anfield for another year. Juve, however, are said to clearly understand that Leeds have 'built up an advantage' in the race to Suzuki, and it may see them miss out.

Juve could finally pull Vicario trigger

Juventus are said to have Tottenham keeper Vicario and Aston Villa's Emi Martinez under serious consideration this summer, and they are much more likely to get hold of the former. Spurs are said to be open to a Vicario sale, given the player prefers to return to Italy, while they have thrown their weight behind Antonin Kinsky by handing the young stopper a new contract.

With Martinez still busy at the World Cup, and with Suzuki potentially out of reach, Juventus may finally now pull the trigger on Vicario, who is said to carry an asking price of €15million, which works out at £12.85million.

That could be a boost for Tottenham as they look to, at least somewhat, balance their huge spending this summer. Vicario is one of two major exits Tottenham are expecting this summer, along with Cristian Romero, who will move on to pastures new, and a replacement is already in the building in Van Hecke.

Tottenham may still make two more moves despite already racking up a record transfer spend this summer. Spurs have extraordinarily busy during the summer window so far, snapping up Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali.

The last three of those signings have cost Spurs well over £200million, signaling a clear change in recruitment strategy from the North London club, and they are not done yet.

Roberto De Zerbi still has areas of his squad he wants to improve, and we are likely to see further recruitment this summer.

Jacobs expects more Tottenham transfer business

Speaking on the Market Madness podcast, GiveMeSport's Ben Jacobs explained what Spurs have planned for the rest of the summer window. "As we've just heard, Tottenham are going to be ambitious. They had £100million of capital injected into the club. They want a left winger, very possibly a number nine, too, so keep an eye on Tottenham right up until deadline day, because there are more signings to come."

Spurs are not worried about Profit and Sustainability rules complications at this point, given they have always been safely in the green when it comes to those spending rules. A spending bill of more than £300million this summer, which now looks likely, will put them a lot closer, but many of the payments will be spread out over the coming years, and the main impact is likely to be lesser spending in the next couple of years, which is likely the plan anyway due to the amount of capital being committed this summer.

Tottenham's possible attacking targets

Spurs likely need a striker due to uncertainty over Richarlison's future, Dominic Solanke's injury record and the fact Randal Kolo Muani was not signed permanently. Any top team needs three good strikers competing for the position, and it would be a big surprise if De Zerbi didn't snap up another frontman.

We haven't seen too many number nines linked with Spurs this summer, beyond Dusan Vlahovic, who appears to be more likely to head to the Bundesliga on a free transfer this summer, with links to the Premier League cooling following his official departure from Juventus on June 30.

We have seen more wingers linked with Spurs, and one of the attractive targets will be AC Milan's Rafael Leao, a left-winger available for around £60million or a touch less. The Portugal international has asked to leave the Italian giants, and they are likely to accommodate a move at the right price.

Manchester City's Savinho has also been heavily linked with Spurs, but it appears the North London side are not in a rush to make a decision about the attacking spot, having concentrated on their midfield recruitment over the last couple of weeks.

Tottenham Hotspur have started the transfer window firing on all cylinders, significantly bolstering their backline and midfield with several marquee additions. Now, attention must turn to the final third, where further reinforcements are needed to give Roberto De Zerbi the attacking depth required to compete on multiple fronts.

De Zerbi is seemingly eager to imprint his footballing identity on his team after helping the Lilywhites avoid relegation last season.

Jan Paul van Hecke has arrived from Brighton for £52million, while Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Martin Dubravka have joined on free transfers from Liverpool, Bournemouth and Burnley respectively, drastically improving the defensive department at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Since fixing this area of Spurs' squad, effort has been made to improve the midfield. An £85million deal for West Ham United's Mateus Fernandes has been agreed, while the North London club are also goig to complete a £92.5million deal to sign Newcastle United's Sandro Tonali.

While these acquisitions will improve Tottenham, the forward line still needs work. With that said, GIVEMESPORT have identified five potential attackers De Zerbi should contemplate bringing to N17.

Maghnes Akliouche

Age: 24

Club: Monaco

With Xavi Simons rupturing his ACL and James Maddison returning from the same injury, adding a creative number ten who can also operate out wide should be a priority for Tottenham this summer. Their attack was meek for large periods last season, but still managed to look considerably worse without Simons, and thus, a new creative force is needed in De Zerbi's squad.

Maghnes Akliouche fits the bill, and Spurs have coincidentally been linked with the Monaco man. The 24-year-old enjoyed another productive campaign in France last term, scoring seven goals and providing ten assists across all competitions.

He's currently away with the French national team at the World Cup, which is likely to delay any potential transfer negotiations. However, once the tournament is over, Spurs should push forward with a prospective deal.

Graceful on the ball and an exceptional passer in the final third, Akliouche would effectively fill the void left by Simons until the Dutchman returns to fitness.

Christos Tzolis

Age: 24

Club: Club Brugge

With Simons and Wilson Odobert out with long-term injuries, Spurs lack options on the left wing. Mathys Tel can operate on this side but isn't an out-and-out winger, Richarlison is no longer an option out wide in almost any scenario, while Mohammed Kudus favours the right.

Thus, Tottenham should be exploring the market to source a new left winger, and they should look no further than one of the most productive players in Europe last season. Club Brugge's Christos Tzolis netted 23 goals and registered 29 assists across all competitions in 2025/26, prompting interest from a host of clubs.

Among those mooted as potential suitors for the Greek is Arsenal, who have expressed interest in completing a £34million deal. However, these reports surfaced some time ago now, and few concrete developments have followed.

Spurs should therefore look to hijack Arsenal's potential move for Tzolis, and they should be capable of convincing him to move to N17 rather than N5. While the 24-year-old would fill a squad role at the Emirates, De Zerbi can offer him a starting berth off the left at Tottenham.

Savinho

Age: 22

Club: Manchester City

An alternative to Tzolis could be Manchester City's Savinho. The Brazilian may not boast the CV the Brugge man does in terms of output, but he has Premier League experience, is two years Tzolis' junior and can play on both flanks.

Additionally, Spurs' interest in Savinho has been well documented for some time. The Lilywhites were linked with the 22-year-old last summer and in January, and are understood to be in talks with him again in this window.

While Savinho's reputation has taken a hit after spending another season on the periphery of City's squad, he remains one of the more exciting young wide forward talents on the market. Possessing blistering pace, impressive dribbling skills and technical security, it would make sense for Tottenham to take a slight punt on him at this stage of his career.

Junior Kroupi

Age: 20

Club: Bournemouth

Alongside a wide forward and an attacking midfielder, Spurs could do with an additional striker this summer. Richarlison and Dominic Solanke are both closing in on 30, and neither have set the world alight in North London. Last season, they combined for just 18 goals in all competitions.

While the pair are adequate number nines for Spurs' immediate goal of getting back into Europe next season, the club's hierarchy need to start thinking about succession planning. Logically, they should acquire a promising young striker this summer who can compete with the aforementioned strikers, and eventually succeed them.

Junior Kroupi is the most exciting centre-forward on the market under the age of 21, and Tottenham ought to be in the race to land him. The Frenchman put up 13 goals in his debut Premier League season, and has all the tools, physically and technically, to develop into something special.

Folarin Balogun

Age: 24

Club: Monaco

If Kroupi proves too expensive or Spurs are beaten to his signing by a Champions League club, then they could turn their attention to a slightly more experienced option. Folarin Balogun, Arsenal academy graduate and USA World Cup star, is expected to leave Monaco and is ready to dive back into English football after his spell in France.

In fact, reports emerged linking Tottenham with Balogun on Tuesday morning, although the Lilywhites may face competition from Chelsea for the striker's services. Spurs have reportedly made Balogun a 'priority' signing this summer, indicating that their supposed interest is indeed serious.

The American scored 19 goals in all competitions for Monaco last season - his best return since netting 22 whilst on loan at Rennes in the 2022/23 campaign. His elusive movement, expert finishing and immaculate combination play make him an intriguing prospect for the Premier League, and a good fit for a fluid De Zerbi system.

The Arsenal links will no doubt bring an element of controversy to the prospective deal, and may even make selling the move to the player more difficult, but this is likely something that can be overcome in negotiations if the money is right.

Tottenham are dominating the summer transfer window, snapping up signings at every turn in a bid to transform their relegation-battling squad. The Spurs board finally look to have seen enough after back-to-back bottom-half finishes, and Roberto De Zerbi is likely to have demanded summer spending before accepting the job.

But even De Zerbi will be pleasantly surprised by how much Spurs have been willing to spend this summer, with a record spend already committed between the signings of Jan Paul van Hecke, Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.

But the spending will not end there, and it's expected Tottenham want to sign both a winger and potentially a striker before the summer is out.

With starting goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario expected to leave Tottenham to return to Italy this summer, there have been a couple of goalkeepers linked with a North London switch this summer. One of them is Manchester City's James Trafford, who could be on the move just one year on from his £27million move from Burnley. Trafford looked to have signed as City's new number one, but the arrival of Gianluigi Donnarumma changed all that, and the Englishman has barely had a look in, despite being described as 'reliable' by Pep Guardiola,

But according to Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge, Tottenham have no intention of going after Trafford this summer. He posted on X: "Very busy few days for Spurs & more to come. However, understand James Trafford is not a Tottenham target."

Spurs are throwing their weight behind Kinsky

Part of the reason Spurs are likely not interested in a deal for Trafford is because they appear to be making Antonin Kinsky their number one, The youngster impressed at the back end of last season, when filling in for Vicario, and he has now been rewarded with a new contract this summer.

De Zerbi said upon the signing of the new deal: "Toni was outstanding over the final seven games of the season and a key part of what we achieved in that period. I am delighted he has committed his future to the Club. He has earned this new contract, not only with his performances but also his professionalism and desire to improve.

"We have huge belief in what Toni can become. He is still young, has enormous potential and I know that Spurs is the perfect place for him to continue to develop into one of the best goalkeepers in Europe."

Those comments, and indeed the deal itself, are telling about Tottenham seeing Kisnky as their number one, and they have also signed Dubravka to compete from the number two spot.

Tottenham Hotspur chiefs are now confident that they can sign Bournemouth striker Eli Junior Kroupi this summer.

Tottenham have already agreed six new signings this summer, with the latest additions of Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali setting the club back a huge £185m outlay.

Spurs' ambition is showing no signs of slowing down yet, and while their defensive and midfield options are looking stronger ahead of next season, we could see new faces arrive to boost the attack too.

The north Londoners remain in talks with Manchester City over a deal for left-winger Savinho, following their failed attempt to bring him to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 12 months ago.

However, Tottenham are also considering other options for that flank too, with links to a second raid on West Ham United for Crysencio Summerville, while they have been offered the chance to sign Rafael Leao from AC Milan by Jorge Mendes during the Fernandes transfer talks.

Spurs are also considering signing a new striker with doubts over the future of Richarlison, who has long been linked with a move away from the north London outfit.

Tottenham are seemingly ready to make their move to try and bring Junior Kroupi to the capital from the south coast.

Tottenham Believe They Can Sign Junior Kroupi

Tottenham are one of many top Premier League clubs linked with a move for Junior Kroupi this summer, following an outstanding and record-breaking debut campaign in the English top flight for the Frenchman.

The 20-year-old scored 13 goals in 33 Premier League games for the Cherries as they qualified for the Europa League, and the club are determined to keep hold of him for next season for their first ever European campaign.

However, according to a top Tottenham source on X, Spurs officials are confident that they can complete a deal for the youngster this summer.

The same source claims that Spurs have already scheduled talks with the Frenchman's representatives soon, although Bournemouth would want at least £90m to sell him in this window.

Kroupi Junior is also said to be open to a move to Spurs, following previous talks between the parties in March.

Tottenham Also Want 'One of the Best Players in the World'

Tottenham's level of ambition this summer is showing no signs of slowing down, and now they are also targeting a move for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, believing he can cover both the left wing and centre-forward positions.

The England international has been described as 'one of the best players in the world' on his day by Three Lions teammate Anthony Gordon, and it is hard to disagree when we see what he has done over the years for the Red Devils and then on loan at Barcelona last season.

The 30-year-old is said to prefer a permanent move abroad following his spell with Barca, although it appears as though Spurs are positioning themselves right at the front of the queue should he end up remaining in England.

Tottenham have received an official offer to sell one of their players in the summer transfer window from one of the 'big teams' in Turkey.

We could see a host of players leave Spurs in the summer transfer window, with Roberto De Zerbi's side looking to bring in a host of reinforcements.

Spurs have already confirmed the signings of Mateus Fernandes, Jan-Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, and Martin Dubravka, which could lead to a number of players leaving the club.

Midfielder Joao Palhinha has already confirmed that he won't be remaining with Spurs next season after the North London club had an opportunity to sign him on a permanent deal following his loan spell.

Yves Bissouma also departs at the end of his contract, but further exits are likely.

Tottenham Receive Official Offer

According to journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, Tottenham have received an official offer from one of the big sides in Turkey, likely meaning Fenerbahce, Besiktas or Galatasaray, for Brazilian forward Richarlison.

It's unclear which team has submitted an offer for Richarlison or how much. Either way, it wouldn't be a surprise if Spurs were willing to accept the deal.

Richarlison is unlikely to be the starting striker for Spurs heading into the new season. It wouldn't be a surprise if De Zerbi's men look to bring in a new centre-forward.

Tottenham to Make Big Loss on Richarlison

Regardless of how much Tottenham have received in terms of the offer for Richarlison, they look set to make a huge loss on the Brazilian forward.

Richarlison, who will reportedly be allowed to leave this summer, made the move to Spurs from Everton back in 2022, signing a five-year deal after Tottenham paid £60 million.

Considering he has hardly set the world alight during his time in North London, it is going to be difficult for Tottenham to even get near that in terms of a sale.

It would be a shock to see Tottenham receive even £30 million for Richarlison. They may have to accept that they are going to make a huge loss in order to get him off the books.

Tottenham Hotspur are already lining up their next blockbuster signing after Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Tottenham and ENIC have gone into overdrive in the summer transfer window and have shocked their fans and Premier League opponents with the aggression they are showing in the market.

Having wrapped up bargain free transfer moves for Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Martin Dubravka within the first couple of weeks of the window opening, Spurs have now started spending big money.

Jan Paul van Hecke cost just over £50m from Brighton and Hove Albion, while the north Londoners have just spent £185m combined on the double midfield swoop for Fernandes and Tonali.

Those two moving to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium means that a deal to sign Joao Palhinha on a permanent basis is now off, with the Portugal international saying his goodbyes on social media on Friday afternoon.

With the goalkeeping, defensive and midfield positions coming together nicely, attention is now expected to turn to strengthening De Zerbi's attack as Tottenham look to make a huge impact next season.

Tottenham have been linked with Manchester City star Savinho, but now they have their eye on a Premier League winner too.

Romano: Tottenham Want Cody Gakpo

Tottenham have been linked with many left-sided attackers, including Savinho, Rafael Leao and West Ham's Crysencio Summerville in recent weeks, but now they are said to have an interest in 2025 Premier League champion Cody Gakpo.

Rumours suggested that the £250,000-a-week Netherlands international was considering his future at Anfield following the dismissal of Arne Slot, but Romano claims that Liverpool have no intention of selling and hints it may take a big proposal to change their stance.

Issuing an update on his latest YouTube video, the Italian journalist said:

"Keep an eye on Tottenham for Cody Gakpo, because Tottenham have interest in the player. Then I can tell you that Liverpool, as of today, the beginning of July, are not opening doors to an exit. So, at the moment, Liverpool are not telling Gakpo, 'Okay, you can leave', they are not telling Tottenham, 'Okay, let's negotiate'. This is not happening now.

"So, at the moment, the door is closed from Liverpool, but we have to see later on this summer, in case Tottenham really open talks by sending a proposal. At the moment, it is interest. If they send a proposal, we have to see what's going to happen there. So it's a story to keep an eye on."

Tottenham Can Sign Gakpo Alternative for £51m

Gakpo is likely to cost Tottenham big money with Liverpool unlikely to want to sell to a Premier League rival for a smaller fee, but Spurs have been told they can sign an alternative to the Dutchman and Savinho for just over £50m.

According to Sky Sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, AC Milan could be willing to sell Rafael Leao for as little as €60m (£51m) this summer.

The player has already publicly confirmed his desire to move on from the San Siro this summer for a new opportunity, with suggestions that the Premier League would be his dream move.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham are all in the market for a left-sided forward, so it will be interesting to see who makes their move.
