Tottenham are hoping to make ‘three top signings’ in the summer transfer window as Ange Postecoglou looks to build his ideal side, according to reports.
Postecoglou has turned Spurs into an exciting team to watch this season with Tottenham also currently fourth in the Premier League table as Champions League football next season become a real possibility.
Postecoglou has transformed Tottenham’s fortunes
Tottenham finished a lowly eighth last term but the signings of James Maddison, Micky van de Ven, Guglielmo Vicario, and Brennan Johnson have all improved this season, and Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski have had their loan agreements extended.
Additionally, a report on the Spanish website Fichajes claims that Tottenham would want to make “three top signings” as they attempt to “get closer to the fight for the Premier League title.” This indicates that Postecoglou and Spurs chairman Daniel Levy want to keep expanding.
They identify the three players they have their eye on as Nico Williams of Athletic Bilbao, Santiago Gimenez of Feyenoord, and Piero Hincapie of Bayer Leverkusen.
On Hincapie, Fichajes report: ‘ The Ecuadorian is the center back profile that Postecoglou wants for the left sector due to his good ball delivery and ability to defend in the open field. Leverkusen would be willing to sell him for an offer close to 40 million euros. He would be an ideal match for [Cristian] Romero, Van de Ven and [Radu] Dragusin.’
Tottenham see Williams as the ‘ideal piece’ as a rotation option on the wing with his release clause at Athletic Bilbao understood to be €60m.
And Feyenoord forward Gimenez is a ‘profile that the North London team really likes to rotate with Heung-Min Son or even to bet on a double striker in specific games’ and his price will be around €40m.
The report adds that by buying those three players, Tottenham would help realise Postecoglou’s ‘dream’ of “assembling a top squad,” with the three players probably costing a combined €140 million (£120 million).
Another player on Spurs’ radar is Pedro Neto, a winger for Wolves. According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Liverpool are also keeping an eye on the Portuguese talent.
Pedro Neto is a potential Premier League winger to keep an eye on, Romano noted in his Caught Offside column.
“I’m sure Arsenal like the guy since they put Pedro Neto on their shortlist already two years ago, and Arsenal works that way; they stick with players they think are good. I have no doubt that they are still closely monitoring Pedro Neto, even though they were unable to make it happen two years ago.
Fabrizio Romano: Tottenham are worth keeping an eye on too
Pedro Neto might be a great option for Tottenham, who are also worth watching because someone thinks the team needs a new winger in the summer. He is well-versed in the league, which may be a significant element; also, they think he may be a fantastic fit for Angel Postecoglou’s ideal football team.
Therefore, I believe that these two teams will be interested in Pedro Neto. I would also closely monitor Liverpool to find out more about their plans and to find out who would be managing and directing them. However, Liverpool has also been scouting Pedro Neto in recent months and years.
