The Premier League transfer window officially opened on Friday and Tottenham Hotspur are in the rare position of having already made two signings with plenty more to come.
Spurs go into this transfer window in a position of strength, having finished fourth in the Premier League with Champions League football to offer next season. On top of that they have one of the world's best coaches in Antonio Conte in charge once again and if that was not enough, the club's owners have overseen a £150million cash boot to the coffers with the majority of it set to go on transfers, on top of any funds that are recouped through sales.
Tottenham's managing director of football Fabio Paratici and Conte met in Turin at the end of last month to discuss their transfer targets and which players could leave the club this summer if suitable offers arrived. Spurs' recruitment efforts are also set to be boosted by the arrival of Rangers chief scout Andy Scoulding later this summer, with his arrival filling some of the gap in the club's structure left by technical performance director Steve Hitchen, who is currently seeing out his gardening leave after his resignation earlier this year.
