Daniel Levy and Tottenham now need to step up their quest to strengthen at the heart of defence after making their first few moves in the summer transfer market. Having turned Dejan Kulusevski's 18-month loan deal from Juventus into a permanent transfer, Tuesday evening saw Guglielmo Vicario sign on the dotted line in N17 following a £16.3million switch from Empoli.
James Maddison was then announced as Tottenham's third signing of the summer 24 hours later after the Spurs chairman struck a £40million agreement with the Foxes for the highly-rated England international. Amid interest from Newcastle United in the attacking midfielder following their Champions League finish, the 26-year-old has instead opted to join Spurs despite the team having no European football on the calendar in 2023/24.
Defence is very much the priority for Tottenham this summer after their woes at the back last campaign and all will be hoping that Levy can bring in a new centre-back for head coach Ange Postecoglou. So far a number of names have been linked with a summer move to the Lilywhites, including Edmond Tapsoba, Micky van de Ven and Marc Guehi.
