Tottenham have already been very busy this summer transfer window, yet all the noises suggest they’re far from done.
While Head Coach, Roberto De Zerbi, and Sporting Director, Johan Lange have beefed up the backline with Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Jan Paul van Hecke, and reshaped the midfield with Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, forward additions have been lacking.
This transfer business has all been unfolding against the backdrop of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, so let’s take a look at some of the stars that should be on the radar of the higher-ups at N17.
Here are five wide players that Tottenham Hotspur should consider as they continue their transfer revolution.
Tottenham are linked with Crysencio Summerville
Crysencio Summerville has been linked with Spurs this summer. At the World Cup, he proved just why that has been the case.
He scored two goals and made two assists across four games for the Netherlands. His first goal came in a 2-2 draw versus Japan, cutting inside and finding the far corner via the post. The second a beautifully placed low drive from the edge of the box, adding a cherry on top of a 5-1 demolition of Sweden.
Qualifying top spot, they advanced to play Morocco but lost 3-2 on penalties. Summerville missed the final spot kick for the Dutch.
But still, he more than showed what he’s capable of across those four games with his pace and purposefulness on display. With excellent movement, strong work-rate and the ability to really stretch teams, it’s not hard to see Summerville fitting in well in a Roberto De Zerbi team.
Antonio Nusa has been on Tottenham’s list for years
On Saturday night, England will come up against Norway and alongside the obviously – Erling Haaland – Antonio Nusa is a player they will have to be wary of.
Nusa signed for RB Leipzig in the summer of 2024. Aged 21, he’s one of the most exciting prospects in football. Capable of playing on both wings, Nusa is fast and direct, which sounds ideal for a De Zerbi team once breaking the press.
He describes Neymar as his role model, owed to his ability to create chaos on the pitch with his dribbling – “just like me”.
Nusa scored in Norway’s 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast on their way to the quarter-finals. He cut inside from the left and bent the ball beautifully into the far corner, before Haaland’s late winner set up that clash versus Brazil.
Nusa has been linked with Tottenham again this summer, and the Lilywhites have been scouting him for over two seasons now.
Nestory Irankunda – Watford/Australia
Australia’s Nestory Irankunda could be a bit of a wildcard move for Tottenham.
While perhaps a little raw, he has all the assets to become a very dangerous player in the Premier League. He has a fantastic left foot on him, bundles of pace and skill, and was on the books at Bayern Munich for a few years before a switch to England with Watford.
Full of confidence, it’s unlikely a move to N17 would faze Irankunda. De Zerbi ball could really exploit the chaos he promises too.
At the World Cup, Irankunda scored once in Australia’s four matches, giving them the lead in their 2-0 victory over Turkey.
Kenan Yıldız – Juventus/Turkey
Turkey were touted as World Cup dark horses. Ultimately they underperformed, exiting in the group stage.
Kenan Yıldız was part of their squad and he’s been linked with a Premier League move. Yıldız plays for Juventus and scored 10 goals in 36 Serie A matches last season.
Yıldız is best suited playing on the left, where he makes the most of his technical brilliance and strength. He’s versatile too, though. With Roberto De Zerbi suggesting there will be flexibility this season, Yıldız could become a real asset.
Andreas Schjelderup – Benfica/Norway
Andreas Schjelderup assisted both of Erling Haaland’s goals for their 2-1 victory over Brazil, setting up a World Cup quarter-final with England.
After a promising loan at FC Nordsjælland, Schjelderup returned to Benfica in 2024 and became part of the first-team picture. Last season, he scored 10 goals – including two against Real Madrid – and made seven assists in all competitions.
While a left-winger, Schjelderup has all the attributes befitting of a number 10. He has a low centre of gravity – standing 177cm tall – making him elusive under pressure and an excellent dribbler.
Furthermore, he’s intelligent. While perhaps not as explosive as his international counterpart, Nusa, he makes excellent use of space. He can unlock things for others – just as he did as a supersub for Haaland versus Brazil.
