Overview
- Talks for Brighton centre-back Jan‑Paul van Hecke remain active after Tottenham had two bids rejected and the club has ruled out offering young defender Luka Vuskovic as part of a swap.
- Discussions over Joao Palhinha’s future are continuing as Spurs seek a long-term solution for the deep‑lying midfield role rather than immediately exercising an option to buy.
- Tottenham are prioritising attacking wide reinforcements to add pace and one‑on‑one threat after losing significant minutes from injured attackers last season.
- Guglielmo Vicario is widely expected to return to Italy which has prompted Tottenham to back young goalkeeper Anton Kinsky while also being reported as very likely to sign a new first‑choice keeper.
- The club has already moved on some defensive fronts with free transfers linked for Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson and will likely make multiple first‑team signings as De Zerbi reshapes the squad.
