The transfer window is now open and Tottenham have been amongst the busiest clubs so far.
Ivan Perisic’s arrival on a free transfer signalled a win for Antonio Conte, with Daniel Levy seemingly changing his approach.
Spurs rarely sign a player of his profile, suggesting the assurances Conte demanded to stay at the club have been put into action.
That is undoubtedly exciting. A sign of ambition, it will be fascinating to see how the rest of the summer plays out.
Here’s the latest Tottenham transfer news and rumours.
Marc Cucurella
Despite Perisic’s arrival, Conte is reportedly keen on adding another left-wing back to his squad.
Goal claim Spurs are interested in Brighton’s Marc Cucurella after his impressive first season in the Premier League, although they could face competition from the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City.
Sergio Reguilon is one of the players Tottenham are open to selling this summer and any fee picked up for him could help fund a move for Cucurella, with Brighton said to be demanding as much as £45m.
Lautaro Martinez
Lautaro Martinez was a player Tottenham heavily admired even before Conte’s arrival, although the Inter forward remained at the club despite a period of financial turmoil.
Now, however, Spurs are reportedly ready to firm up their interest.
Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla claims Conte is keen on reuniting with the forward, who scored 17 Serie A goals under his watch as Inter marched to the 2020/21 title.
Sven Botman
One of the most in-demand central defenders in Europe after impressing for Lille over the past two seasons, Spurs are said to be in the race for Sven Botman.
Signing a new defender is one of Conte’s priorities this summer and the Dutchman has been linked with a move to north London after declaring his intent to leave France.
90 Min suggest Spurs are just one of a number of clubs keen on a move for the 22-year-old, though PSG have contacted their domestic rivals over a potential move.
Marc Guehi
Elsewhere on the defensive front, Marc Guehi could be an option.
The defender has broken into the England squad after a wonderful first season at Crystal Palace, vindicating his decision to leave Chelsea.
The Athletic suggest Spurs are big admirers of the 21-year-old, though the fact he has four years left on his Palace deal could make any negotiation difficult.
Gabriel Jesus
Spurs, along with Arsenal, are interested in a move for Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus.
The forward is set to hold talks with Manchester City after the international break and, according to noted transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, there is an expectation from the Etihad that the Brazilian international will move to another Premier League club.
