Sandro Tonali has signed for Tottenham, part of a record transfer spend this summer. The North London club has already spent over £200million on Tonali, Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Martin Dubravka, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Mateus Fernandes.
What's Next for Tottenham?
Tottenham are not done yet, with Ben Jacobs expecting more transfer business. Jacobs explained on the Market Madness podcast that Spurs want a left winger and possibly a number nine.
Spurs have areas to improve, and Roberto De Zerbi wants to strengthen his squad. The club has £100million of capital injected, allowing them to be ambitious in the transfer market.
Transfer Targets
Tottenham likely need a striker due to uncertainty over Richarlison's future and Dominic Solanke's injury record. A top team needs three good strikers competing for the position.
Rafael Leao, a left-winger from AC Milan, is an attractive target for around £60million. The Portugal international has asked to leave, and AC Milan will accommodate a move at the right price.
Tottenham's Spending
Spurs are not worried about Profit and Sustainability rules complications, given they have always been safely in the green. A spending bill of over £300million this summer will put them closer to the limit, but payments will be spread out over the coming years.
The main impact will be lesser spending in the next couple of years, which is likely the plan anyway due to the amount of capital being committed this summer. Tottenham will continue to make moves, with Sandro Tonali already on board, and more signings to come before deadline day.
Dusan Vlahovic, a potential number nine target, appears to be more likely to head to the Bundesliga on a free transfer. Manchester City's Savinho has also been linked with Spurs, but the club is not in a rush to make a decision about the attacking spot.
Tottenham have concentrated on their midfield recruitment over the last couple of weeks, transforming their defence and midfield. Now, they are making their attacking moves, with Sandro Tonali already a key part of the squad.
The summer window is still open, and Tottenham will be ambitious. With £100million of capital injected, they want to improve their squad, and Ben Jacobs expects more signings to come. Sandro Tonali has already joined, and Spurs will look to add more players before deadline day.
