According to The Athletic, Tottenham Hotspur are prioritising signing a defensive midfielder and a versatile forward during this summer’s transfer window.
Spurs have already extended Timo Werner’s loan spell at the club, with the German international set to remain at the club throughout the 2024-25 season.
The Lilywhites will also be boosted by the arrival of Lucas Bergvall, with the Swedish startlet set to link up with the squad at the start of pre-season.
Tottenham looking to improve multiple positions this summer
According to The Athletic, the Lilywhites will look to sign a top-class number six when the transfer window opens, with the club said to be keen to shore up their midfield.
Tottenham want a midfielder and a new forward
The report claims that the North London side also wish to sign a versatile wide-attacker, who can also play as a centre-forward if required.
It is explained that any further moves would depend on potential outgoings from Hotspur Way, with the club likely to make additions to replace Emerson Royal, Ben Davies, Giovani Lo Celso and Richarlison if those players depart.
Spurs Web Opinion
It is unsurprising to learn that a defensive midfielder and a forward are Postecoglou’s biggest priorities.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is among those tipped to leave this summer while Yves Bissouma has never looked comfortable when asked to operate in the holding role.
Tottenham need to ensure they bring in a quality replacement in the number six position with Atalanta’s Ederson being one such player who could really make a difference.
With Emerson Royal now looking certain to depart, I would also expect Tottenham to move for a full-back while it would appear that the club are also after a number eight.
