Tottenham Ready To Complete Three More Transfers With One Signing Unknown - GiveMeSport
Description

With less than a week before the new 2026/27 Premier League season starts, Tottenham still have business to do in the transfer market.

Roberto De Zerbi has done well to transform the squad he inherited from Igor Tudor already this summer, bringing in six new faces and letting 11 players leave - nine permanently and one on loan with an obligation to make the move permanent next summer.

But all of the work on incoming signings has been made at the back or in midfield, with no new faces arriving in the forward line, yet. De Zerbi remains keen on improving his attack at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with a number of players linked with a move to the club.

Savinho has been the most heavily linked, with Spurs in talks with Manchester City to sign the Brazilian as far back as last summer, when they thought they would get a deal over the line but the rug was pulled from under them at the last moment.

Spurs have also been linked with a move for Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, with reports surfacing that the Dutchman has asked to leave the Reds to make the move to Spurs after talks between the two clubs.

Savinho and Gakpo would both be wide additions and De Zerbi remains keen on another central striker too, particularly with question marks over the future of Richarlison, who scored again in pre-season against Hoffenheim on Saturday.

De Zerbi remains unsure whether the Brazilian will stay in N17 this season or not and a reliance on just him and Dominic Solanke would be a gamble too.

I like him as a player and as a guy. He's unbelievable in terms of attitude and behaviour. But, in the end, we have to respect what he wants to do. I didn't understand well because sometimes he says he wants to stay, sometimes he wants to leave. We have to speak anyway. There is not any problem. He's a lovely guy.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Spurs' idea is to sign Savinho, Gakpo and a No.9 too, although the identity of that central striker is as yet unknown.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said: "For Tottenham, I keep telling you guys, Savinho and Gakpo, Gakpo and Savinho, Savinho and Gakpo, plus a center striker. This is the idea at Tottenham.

"Pedro Neto is a backup in case something happens for Savinho, something happens for Gakpo, Pedro Neto is a backup, but he's not the top priority."

Liverpool Must Not Sell Cody Gakpo to Tottenham or Face Disaster

Liverpool Must Make Unpopular Transfer Decision to Prevent Disastrous Season for Iraola - GiveMeSport
Description

Liverpool cannot afford to let their already thin squad get even thinner by selling Cody Gakpo to Tottenham Hotspur this summer, or they face a disastrous season under the new boss.

The Reds' attacking department has been decimated over the last 12 months, with the likes of Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah all departing, leaving new manager Andoni Iraola seriously light on forward options heading into the new season. Victor Munoz has arrived from Osasuna to provide the Basque head coach with some additional depth, but the youngster isn't ready to carry the burden of playing significant minutes for a team with Premier League title aspirations.

Bradley Barcola continues to be linked with a switch to Anfield, but Paris Saint-Germain's excessive £140 million price tag is delaying negotiations on this front.

It's entirely possible that the Merseysiders don't recruit the volume of attackers they need, and thus, they could easily end up regretting their decision to sell Gakpo.

Cody Gakpo Sale Would be Smart Move For Liverpool in Isolation

Spurs are reportedly closing in on the signing of Gakpo, and while a fee is yet to be agreed, Liverpool are expected to cite Anthony Gordon's £70 million move to Barcelona as a benchmark in their negotiations with the North London club, as per Ben Jacobs.

In isolation, this would be an exceptional sale for the Reds. Gakpo produced an underwhelming 2025/26 season, scoring just seven goals and providing just five assists in 36 Premier League appearances.

While the Dutchman is a valuable player who provides some useful attacking attributes, he is limited in certain respects and far from indispensable.

At 27, £70 million would be an outstanding return for Liverpool, for a player they paid £45 million for, if they can pull it off.

Selling Gakpo Would Still Be a Mistake For Liverpool

While this prospective Gakpo sale would be an astute piece of business in isolation, in the context of Liverpool's squad, it could potentially be disastrous.

Centrally, the Reds are relying on Alexander Isak, a notoriously injury-prone player, to remain fit for almost the entire season whilst Hugo Ektike recovers from an ACL injury. Behind the Swede, Gakpo is the only senior player capable of doing a job as a striker, before Iraola is forced to turn towards a false-nine option.

Off the left — Gakpo's primary position — there are a few more candidates to take the Netherlands international’s minutes, although they're inexperienced at the top level. Munoz looks promising, but it'd be a huge gamble to rely on a mixture of him and 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha as the exclusive left-wing options for the entirety of next season.

While not often deployed on the right, Gakpo could've filled in on this side if needed. If Liverpool sanction his departure, they'd be left with the following fit senior attackers:

Alexander Isak

Federico Chiesa

Victor Munoz

Rio Ngumoha (if he registers as 'senior')

The likes of Florian Wirtz, Harvey Elliott and Jeremie Frimpong can be drafted in as forwards, while new signings can still be made, but time is running out for Iraola to construct an attacking unit deep enough to compete on multiple fronts. Selling Gakpo might only make things worse, even if rejecting such a significant offer from Spurs might not be popular.

Tottenham Have 'High Chance' of Signing £250,000-a-Week Liverpool Star

Tottenha Have 'High Chance' of Signing £250,000-a-Week Liverpool Star - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur now reportedly have a 'high' chance of completing the signing of Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, after formally expressing their interest in the player earlier this week.

Gakpo endured a difficult 2025/26 season for the Reds as they slumped to a fifth-place finish in the Premier League, netting just seven goals and providing five assists. Despite this underwhelming form, Spurs have courted the Dutchman throughout the summer as Roberto De Zerbi looks to bolster his squad's attacking department ahead of the new season.

The Italian is said to be pushing hard to secure Gakpo, and the chances of the deal materialising are now understood to be 'very realistic'.

That said, Liverpool still need to decide to sanction the 27-year-old's departure, and this may be dependent on their ability to land a replacement.

Spurs Could Sign Gakpo Before Season Opener

Tottenham focused on strengthening their midfield and defence early in the summer, signing Sandro Tonali for £100 million alongside several other players.

While their squad looks significantly improved as a whole, they have neglected their attack up until now. Their season commences next Saturday when they visit Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, and De Zerbi is currently on course to name a front three consisting of the likes of Mathys Tel, Richarlison and Mikey Moore.

However, Dutch reporter Blaauwhof gave Spurs supporters hope that Gakpo could be added to the Italian's ranks before the visit to West London, claiming that the Lilywhites have formally expressed their interest in the Netherlands international earlier this week.

The journalist then provided another update suggesting that the chances of the deal going through are now 'quite high'.

It remains to be seen what sort of fee Liverpool will be looking for, although given Gakpo's hefty wages, they may be forced to settle for a modest sum. The wide forward is currently on £250,000-a-week at Anfield, and if he were to earn this in North London, it would make him Spurs' highest-paid player.

Tottenham Could Have a Completely New Wing Pairing Next Season

Alongside Gakpo, Tottenham are closing in on the signing of Manchester City's Savinho. The Brazilian is expected to predominantly be deployed on the right in N17, with Mohammed Kudus and Wilson Odobert still recovering from serious injuries.

Gakpo will take the mantle off the left in Xavi Simons' absence, meaning Spurs could line up with an entirely new pairing on the flanks next term.

As shown by the data above, De Zerbi may look to run his attack through Savinho as the team's creative outlet, and this could suit Gakpo's ability to arrive on the end of moves on the other side.

Fabrizio Romano Issues Savinho to Tottenham 'Negotiations' Update

Fabrizio Romano Issues Savinho to Tottenham 'Negotiations' Update - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham are still pushing for a deal to sign Manchester City winger Savinho as they look to address their attack this summer. It has already been an incredibly busy summer for Spurs, who have put together a record spend of more than £235million, but much of the spending has revolved around the defence and midfield.

Roberto De Zerbi now wants to address his front line, and it seems as though he could sign two wingers, with Tottenham clearly not concerned about their spending this summer, albeit there will be some sizable exits to follow the earlier summer exits of Luka Vuskovic and Cristian Romero.

Man City star Savinho has been chased by Spurs for much of the summer, and transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has now provided an update. He said on his YouTube channel: "Tottenham want two wingers. They called Gakpo and we spoke about him in the last video But for Savinho, negotiations are taking place, discussions are taking place, conversations are taking place. So the Savinho story is absolutely on, and we have to keep the name of Savinho in mind for Tottenham Hotspur."

"Just the moment to make the steps to be a decisive player and add goals and assists, especially goals he will be a top-class player. Top class." - Pep Guardiola on Savinho

Reports suggest Savinho could cost as much as £85million, while Gakpo is going to cost £60million or North of that figure.If Spurs sign both players, their summer spending could be within touching distance of £400million, although it would be balanced somewhat by the exits of Vuskovic, Romero and Guglielmo Vicario.

Speaking in late July, De Zerbi made it clear he wants his front line addressed next. He said: "Yes, yes, the target now is to complete the attacking positions. We want the first target, the first level, because we have already important players. But I think to start a new project we need another couple of important players for sure."

Tottenham's list of wingers currently

Mathys Tel

Wilson Odbert

Mikey Moore

Mohamed Kudus

Dejan Kulusevski

Savinho will add much-needed competition for Spurs out wide

As can be seen above, Spurs do lack a little in the wide areas, even if they do have some talented options there. Dejan Kulusevski has had more than a full season off football, while Wilson Odobert has also been out for a lengthy spell and won't return until the winter.

Savinho would certainly add competition, and the Brazilian would almost certainly walk in as a starter.

Pep Guardiola has said of the winger previously: "Savinho made an incredible performance again like he did against Everton. He’s a guy who can play on both sides, today he finally scored a goal. He has an incredible ability and quality he’s proven in that period.”

Tottenham Add Newcastle Target to Transfer Shortlist Amid Hijack Risk

Tottenham Add Newcastle Target to Transfer Shortlist Amid Hijack Risk - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur have added Newcastle United transfer target Amar Dedic to their shortlist of Djed Spence replacements, according to GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Ben Jacobs.

Tottenham have already signed six new players for Roberto De Zerbi this summer, and they are working on two more deals for Savinho and Cody Gakpo of Manchester City and Liverpool respectively.

With so many players coming to Spurs, it is inevitable that some first-team players will be on their way too, with Spence and Cristian Romero set to join Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid in the coming hours and days.

While Tottenham are well-stocked at left-back, it is a different story on the opposite flank where World Cup winner Pedro Porro is the undoubted first-choice right-back after signing a new long-term deal this summer, but he has little specialist competition for his spot.

Archie Gray can play there but his main position is in midfield, meaning it is no surprise that the north London outfit are likely to bring in a replacement for Spence before the September 1 deadline.

Fabrizio Romano has reported in recent days that Newcastle are closing in on an agreement with Benfica to sign Dedic, who has agreed personal terms on a move to St James' Park.

He is a player of interest to Spurs too as they consider their right-back options too, according to Jacobs, speaking on the Last Word on Spurs live stream late on Wednesday night.

He said: "Another hotly sought-after fullback that I believe is capable of playing both sides is Amar Dedic, who is at Benfica, a player that Matthias Jaissle knows very well, and it's Newcastle moving at the moment, and they've got confidence.

But he's made the Tottenham shortlist as one possibility as well. I'm not aware of any kind of formal approach yet to the player side or to Benfica, but it just shows you that they're starting to shortlist names now.

"I feel they'll be better prepared because they will have known for quite some time that there was a concrete possibility that Spence could go."

Tottenham Need to Make Fast Move to Land Dedic

As mentioned, Newcastle appear to be close to wrapping up a deal for the Bosnia and Herzegovina international, meaning it would need a last-gasp Tottenham transfer hijack to land the 23-year-old from under their noses.

The Magpies will be more than wary of that happening though, given they have already lost out on deals for Victor Munoz and Johan Manzambi this summer.

Dedic is only one of the names on Spurs' shortlist, with further links to Neco Williams of Nottingham Forest and Daniel Munoz of Crystal Palace.

De Zerbi's preference for players with Premier League experience is no secret given all six confirmed arrivals this summer have it, along with Savinho and Gakpo.

That could mean that while there is clearly an appreciation for Dedic, other targets could be prioritised given the player appears to be moving closer to joining Newcastle.

Tottenham Really Like 6ft 5in Striker Who's 'Like a Basketball Player'

Tottenham Really Like 6ft 5in Striker Who's 'Like a Basketball Player' - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur signing a new striker before the transfer window closes has not been ruled out, with Freiburg striker Igor Mantanovic one player the club likes, according to GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Ben Jacobs.

Tottenham have signed six players this summer as they look to soar up the Premier League table under Roberto De Zerbi this season, but there are more signings to come.

Spurs are already working on deals to bring Manchester City winger Savinho and Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as De Zerbi looks to add at least two new faces to his attack before the September 1 deadline.

Ideally, he would have at least one of those in place for the opening day trip to Brentford next Saturday.

A new striker is also a possibility, especially if Richarlison ends up leaving the club in the next few weeks having been linked with a summer exit, with Jacobs revealing one lesser-known name who is on the north London outfit's shortlist.

Speaking on the Last Word on Spurs live stream, the GMS senior correspondent said:

"I heard Igor Mantanovic the other day at Freiburg, who has had a good year or so of goalscoring and is quite a young and interesting profile.

He's basically like a basketball player. I think he's about six foot five, and he's done very well since joining Freiburg. He's been capped for Croatia.

"I think it was about 15 goals in all competitions last season. Not necessarily the finished product, but one name to keep an eye on."

Mantanovic Would Add Different Profile for Tottenham

Neither Richarlison nor strike partner Dominic Solanke are particularly short, but the 6ft 5in Mantanovic would give De Zerbi a new profile to work with, being more of a proper target man and focal point.

After a slow start to his career in terms of goalscoring, the Croatia international has burst into life over the course of the past two seasons, scoring 29 goals, while he also has two in 12 caps for his country.

Mantanovic's strength in the air is shown by the fact that he won 83 aerial duels in the Bundesliga last season, with Richarlison and Solanke winning 89 combined in the Premier League.

The Croatian's hold-up play and ability to win headers could play perfectly into the hands of Savinho and Gakpo if they end up at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Savinho and Gakpo would have opportunities to run in behind the 23-year-old, who would also give both players a big target to aim for with crosses from out wide.

Mantanovic is far from just a hold-up player though, as shown with 11 goals from just 14 starts in the German top flight last term.

That clinical finishing ability will appeal to De Zerbi as he looks to bring more goals to his Spurs side this term.

What we do also know is that the Italian boss likes players with Premier League experience, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he opted to bring in a new striker who has played in England before.

Nevertheless, Mantanovic is an interesting target on the shortlist.

Fabrizio Romano: Tottenham 'Movement Expected' to Sign £157m Duo

Fabrizio Romano: Tottenham 'Movement Expected' to Sign £157m Duo - GiveMeSport
Description

Fabrizio Romano is anticipating Tottenham Hotspur to be busy in the coming days as they eye two attackers but a move for a former Arsenal star is not on the cards.

Roberto De Zerbi has been backed with six new signings so far this summer and his bosses have spent a staggering £237 million. Sandro Tonali became the club's record signing, arriving from Newcastle United for £100 million.

Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke, Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Martin Dubravka have also joined the Lilywhites. Transfer activity has quieted since Tonali's arrival on July 6th, but the club is looking to bolster De Zerbi's attack.

Savinho is a long-term target, and the Manchester City winger is believed to be keen on a move to Spurs. The Brazilian isn't the only Premier League attacker whom the North Londoners want to sign.

Tottenham Plans Include Gakpo and Savinho

Liverpool's Cody Gakpo has become one of De Zerbi's top targets and Romano has confirmed the club are trying to sign both players. He said on his YouTube channel:

More movements are expected at Tottenham in the next days, because don’t forget their top targets remain two players: one is Cody Gakpo, the other one is Savinho. On the wings, they are working on these two deals.

Savinho has endured a difficult spell at City amid a lack of regular game time and Enzo Maresca replacing Pep Guardiola hasn't appeared to change the situation. GIVEMESPORT sources understand that Spurs are growing increasingly confident of sealing a deal for the Brazilian.

As for Gakpo, he has been a more prominent member of the Liverpool team during his spell at Anfield. The Dutchman's future is in doubt, though amid the Reds' interest in Paris Saint-Germain left-winger Bradley Barcola.

Romano also touched on rumours linking the North London club with AS Monaco striker Folarin Balogun:

"No negotiations for Folarin Balogun. I know there have been many reports in the last 24 hours, but Tottenham are not working on a Balogun deal. The two top targets [for] wingers remain Cody Gakpo and Savinho. [The] alternative is Pedro Neto, who is very expensive."

A new center-forward has been on the agenda, but previous top target Junior Kroupi suffered an injury during Bournemouth's pre-season. It's been suggested that the club will wait until next year to revisit pursuing the French star.

Pedro Neto has emerged as a possible alternative should they fail to sign either Savinho or Gakpo. While reports claim contact has been made with Chelsea over a potential deal for the Portuguese star, it appears his price tag would be a stumbling block.

Tottenham Will Be Overpaying

Savinho appears to be the most likely arrival of those mentioned by Romano and reports in Brazil claim Tottenham have made an £85 million bid. That is a ridiculously high fee for a player who has yet to impress in English football, only showing glimpses of promise.

Paying such a huge price for the 22-year-old could come back to bite the Lilywhites, especially if he doesn't realise his potential under De Zerbi. It's a risky move and one that undoes the club's impressive work in the window thus far.

Stats courtesy of Premier League - correct as 14.08.2026

Tonali was expensive but he's proven his worth as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. The same can be said for Fernandes, who is young but made his mark at West Ham United with inspired performances last season.

Tottenham first-team transfers (summer 2026)

Sandro Tonali - £100m

Agreement Close: Tottenham Expect to Finalise Savinho Transfer in Next 7 Days

Agreement Close: Tottenham Expect to Finalise Major £70m Transfer in Next 7 Days - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on the signing of Manchester City winger Savinho, with the deal expected to be worth in the region of £70 million, according to a Spurs insider.

Savinho scored just one Premier League goal for the Citizens last season, as he was kept on the periphery of Pep Guardiola's squad. Enzo Maresca's arrival doesn't appear to have changed the Brazilian's status at the Etihad, and this has subsequently prompted the wide man to push for an exit.

Spurs have emerged as the frontrunners in the race to land Savinho, and this protracted saga may now finally be approaching its end.

An agreement is said to be close, with a consensus between all the relevant parties likely to be reached by the end of next week.

Roberto De Zerbi Wants Savinho Available for Premier League Opener

Spurs' rampant summer is set to continue with another significant acquisition. Sandro Tonali has already joined from Newcastle United for £100 million, while Mateus Fernandes and Jan Paul van Hecke's arrivals bring their spending up to £237 million for the summer so far.

This figure is set to eclipse the £300 million mark, with the transfer fee for Savinho expected to reach around £70 million.

The saga around the Etihad's forgotten man has dragged on for some time now, but he's finally on the cusp of securing a move to his new home.

A top Spurs source on X has now revealed that the agreement is 'close', with Roberto De Zerbi pushing for the deal to be completed so that the player is available for selection for the start of the Premier League season.

Spurs kick their new season off next Saturday when they travel to West London to take on Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Assuming Savinho completes his medical and signs the relevant paperwork near the start of next week, there's no reason why he couldn't make the squad for this opening fixture.

Savinho's Statistics Should Excite Tottenham Fans

On the surface, the signing of a winger who scored one Premier League goal last season and who was ousted to a squad role at City might not excite Spurs supporters.

However, Savinho's encouraging underlying numbers suggest that he might actually be undervalued, and that he could be primed to explode if he's put in the right environment.

As shown by the data above, Savinho's debut campaign at City was promising, and led to him being labelled 'extraordinary' by Pep Guradiola. He was a genuine goal threat but endured a rough finishing streak, while he was creative and a prolific dribbler.

With De Zerbi excellent at platforming wide men with talent, Savinho might just be able to recreate this positive form and go up another level as the main man in Spurs' attack.

Tottenham Table £85m Bid to Sign 'Extraordinary' Forward, He Wants to Join

Tottenham Table £85m Bid to Sign 'Extraordinary' Forward, He Wants to Join - GiveMeSport
Description

Tottenham have tabled an £85m offer to sign Manchester City forward Savinho, according to a report.

The north London club have made adding to their attack a priority in the final weeks of the window, having already spent over £230m to bring in Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Jan Paul van Hecke, while they have also signed Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, and Martin Dubravka on free transfers.

But Roberto De Zerbi has made it clear that he feels the team needs more, describing their business as only being 60% done so far, and now the club have made their move to bring in their top attacking target.

According to a report by Brazilian outlet GE Globo, Tottenham have now tabled a huge £85m offer to sign Brazil international Savinho after he made it clear to Man City that he wants to leave.

The 22-year-old skipped training on Thursday, with reports from Man City stating he was ill, but Fabrizio Romano has reported that he once again informed the club hierarchy of his desire to leave this summer, with Spurs his preferred destination.

The winger is keen to be a more regular first-team player at his next club, and he believes that Tottenham would be the perfect place to continue his development, working under De Zerbi in the process.

Talks over a deal have stalled in recent weeks, but it's understood that the new bid from Tottenham matches the value that the Cityzens have put on the player since the start of negotiations.

Savinho was upset that a lack of regular minutes at Man City last season cost him a potential place in Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil squad for the World Cup, and all parties are now confident that a deal will be completed.

Guardiola Feels Savinho is 'Extraordinary'

Spurs were close to signing Savinho last summer before Pep Guardiola blocked the move, and convinced the player to sign a new long-term contract at the Etihad Stadium.

Speaking after the Community Shield, Guardiola heaped praise on the young forward, calling him 'extraordinary'.

"If they want to leave, they will come to me. If they want to leave, they will knock on my door. Whether it's Tottenham in that case or any other club, a player should call the club.

"I am only concerned right now that Savinho will be with us for the rest of the season and hopefully many years, because of the potential he has at 21. He has to improve in final positions but he is an extraordinary player.

"At the end, as always, the desire of the players is above everything but then they have to find an agreement with the club. If they don't make an agreement, the player will be here because the club spends money on those players."

He was also previously hugely excited about the prospect of working with the former Girona man, and was full of hope about his potential.

“Last season he started well and then played a little less because of my reasons but he is a player with incredible potential," he said.

“We cannot forget he is so young. He needs to make more decisive actions in the final third. The moment he makes this step and says he wants to be the player that is decisive, he will be an extraordinary player.”

Tottenham Hotspur defender Djed Spence looks set to join Inter Milan imminently, and Spurs are big admirers of Crystal Palace right-back Daniel Munoz as they look at replacing the England international.

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi is making big changes to his squad this summer, with six new arrivals already confirmed and the potential that at least two more will join as the club eyes moves for Manchester City winger Savinho and Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo.

Naturally, when so many players come into the building, others need to leave and the likes of Radu Dragusin, Will Lankshear, Luka Vuskovic and Manor Solomon have departed.

They look set to be joined shortly by Spence and Cristian Romero, who are closing in on switches to Inter and Atletico Madrid respectively.

Romero's exit is not too surprising given reports have long suggested he would be on his way out of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer, but De Zerbi has decided to axe Spence too, despite a standout 2026 World Cup for England.

With a £27m deal agreed, reliable Spurs insider Paul O'Keefe has now claimed on X that the north London outfit are big admirers of Munoz as they consider bringing in a replacement for Spence.

The interest in signing a replacement is no surprise given that Tottenham are much better stocked on the left side of defence than they are on the right. New signing Andy Robertson, Ben Davies, Destiny Udogie, Souza and even Micky van de Ven can all play at left-back, but there are fewer options for the right-back slot once Spence goes. Archie Gray has filled in there previously, but his best position is in central midfield, which then relies on Pedro Porro remaining fit throughout the campaign.

Savinho Keeps Pushing Man City to Approve Tottenham Move

Munoz is Perfect for De Zerbi's System

De Zerbi showed at the end of last season, and with his summer transfer business so far, that he prefers Premier League experience and know-how, and Munoz would arrive at Tottenham with bundles of that. The Colombia international recently turned 30 years of age and has plenty of English top flight games under his belt for the Eagles.

Daniel Munoz in the Premier League Games 82 Goals 8 Assists 12

Despite having two years remaining on his contract at Selhurst Park, Everton are also showing interest in the South American, and it is no surprise given what he offers from an attacking point of view from either full-back, or wing-back. 12 assists in 82 Premier League games is impressive, and the 30-year-old is a player who loves to press and can run all day long, which suits De Zerbi, as has been proven by his praise of Conor Gallagher's similar traits previously. He isn't just an attacking full-back though, and is tackling is arguably his biggest strength, along with his ability to make interceptions, as WhoScored confirm. The other huge positive for signing Munoz is the tactical flexibility he would allow De Zerbi, between playing a system with four or five at the back in certain matches. There is a good reason why Munoz has been labelled as the 'best wing-back in the Premier League' by Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher, and he would be the perfect competition for the World Cup-winning Porro.
