Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly aiming to conclude their summer transfer activity with three more signings as they prepare for next season. However, Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen has been ruled out of a potential move to North London, adding to the list of developments during this transfer window.
Spurs narrowly avoided relegation last season, finishing just two points above the drop zone. With their Premier League status now secured under manager Roberto De Zerbi, the club is keen to avoid a repeat of last year’s struggles. Tottenham have already made real moves by signing six players this summer, marking a strong start to their transfer campaign, as reported by Football365.
Targeting high-profile attackers: Gakpo and Kroupi
According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham’s next priority is Manchester City winger Savinho, who has been described as the “next big name on their list.” Alongside Savinho, Tottenham’s targets include Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo and Bournemouth’s Eli Junior Kroupi. Ben Jacobs from Football365 confirms that negotiations for Savinho are ongoing but not yet finalised.
Gakpo under consideration amid high price tag
The North London club is reportedly interested in Gakpo, who struggled to impress during his previous season at Liverpool. The anticipated cost for the winger is around £70m, posing a real investment ahead of the new campaign. Should Gakpo join, he would likely slot into the left wing, strengthening Tottenham’s attacking options.
Big bid lined up for Kroupi
Furthermore, Spurs are believed to be preparing an £85m bid for Kroupi, a young forward from Bournemouth. Kroupi could play a central role in Tottenham’s attacking line-up if the deal proceeds, complementing Gakpo and Savinho’s presence on the wings.
The SportiveNews view
Tottenham’s strategy this transfer window seems focussed on bringing in attacking talent to enhance their squad for next season. The feasibility of these anticipated moves will hinge on financial negotiations and convincing the players of Tottenham’s ambitions, particularly if competition from other clubs emerges.
