With their Premier League status now secure, Tottenham Hotspur may be set to announce two early signings this summer.
While everyone associated with Tottenham is relieved that they managed to get the job done against Everton, there is also the realisation that the club should never have come so close to disaster.
Roberto De Zerbi explicitly stated that Spurs need to rebuild so they never suffer like this again, and the club may be about to make a fast start to the transfer window.
It has been reported over recent weeks that two of Tottenham’s summer deals hinge on them avoiding relegation, and the door may have now opened for those agreements to be finalised.
Andy Robertson set to join Tottenham Hotspur
One of those two is Andy Robertson, who said goodbye to the Liverpool fans alongside Mohammed Salah after their 1-1 draw against Brentford at Anfield yesterday.
It has been widely reported that the experienced full-back has already verbally agreed to sign for Spurs if they can stay up.
Journalist Ben Jacobs has now backed up that an agreement in principle has already been reached between Tottenham and Robertson, with the transfer now expected to be finalised after the Lilywhites avoided relegation.
Marcos Senesi could be set to follow Robertson to Spurs
The other deal that reportedly hinged on Tottenham’s Premier League status is Marcos Senesi, whose departure from Bournemouth has been confirmed.
The centre-back’s move to the North London club allegedly hinged on Spurs’ top-flight status, which means that we could see some progress over the coming days.
It looks like Tottenham could begin the transfer window by signing two experienced defenders on free transfers, which may open the door for the departures of Cristian Romero and Ben Davies.
