Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to flex their muscle in the summer transfer window after they secured the Champions League qualification, with the North London club set to turn their attention to three of the best talents in Europe.
Tottenham were not in a strong financial position heading into the summer, and it was widely reported that Spurs would have to sell before they buy in the transfer window.
However, that has changed following the club’s qualification for the Champions League, with Tottenham’s coffers set to be boosted by around £80m to £90m.
Ange Postecoglou has told Daniel Levy that Spurs need to sign players with Champions League experience, and a new report indicates that the Australian may get his wish.
Tottenham want to sign three budding superstars this summer
According to Fichajes, Tottenham are ready to make a huge investment into their squad as they seek major reinforcements ahead of their return to the Champions League.
It is revealed that Spurs have already started working on signings that can improve the quality of their starting eleven.
One of the first players they are expected to turn to is Johnny Cardoso, who they have a €25m (£21m) option to buy this summer, but the Real Betis man would need to greenlight the move.
Fichajes claim that RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko is also in Tottenham’s sights after ending the campaign with 21 goals and six assists.
The outlet adds that Sesko’s Leipzig teammate Xavi Simons is also admired by the Tottenham Hotspur recruitment department, with the Netherlands international described as the North London club’s ‘dream signing’.
While the attacking midfielder is expected to be expensive, priced at around €80m (£67.1m), Spurs believe that they can convince the player about a transfer, with the 22-year-old said to be keen on trying his luck in the Premier League.
Tottenham will face heavy competition for these players
This report will excite Spurs fans as these are the sort of ambitious moves the fans have been crying out for from the club.
However, none of these three players will be easy to get as they will be on the radar of many top clubs around Europe.
Some reports have indicated that Atletico Madrid are trying to beat Tottenham to Cardoso’s services. Meanwhile, it has also emerged over recent months that Liverpool and Chelsea are ready to challenge Spurs for Sesko’s signature.
