Tottenham Hotspur is gearing up for at least two more significant signings before the transfer window slams shut, according to journalist Ben Jacobs. After a busy summer revamping the squad, the North London club appears poised for an exciting final phase of recruitment focused on bolstering their attack.
Speaking on the Last Word On Spurs podcast, Jacobs highlighted the club's comprehensive strategy under manager Roberto De Zerbi. "They’ve sorted out their defense. They’ve sorted out their midfield, in particular with those two statement signings of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes. And now it’s all about attack," he stated, pointing to a complete squad overhaul that has shifted expectations dramatically.
De Zerbi was granted considerable control over transfers as part of his long-term commitment to the club, backed by a substantial budget. This financial power has transformed the narrative around Spurs, moving them from a relegation battle to a position of high ambition.
With the defensive and midfield areas solidified, the focus has now shifted squarely to the flanks. Manchester City's Savinho is a primary target, with reports indicating Spurs have lodged an £85 million bid. The player himself is reportedly pushing for a move after missing training, making a transfer increasingly probable.
Adding further attacking depth, Tottenham is also strongly linked with Liverpool's Cody Gakpo. De Zerbi reportedly admires the Dutch international's versatility, seeing him as capable of operating on the wing or as a central striker. The club is reportedly exploring the possibility of acquiring both Savinho and Gakpo, a move that would represent a significant financial investment but aligns with their aggressive spending this summer to build a top-tier attacking unit.
