Tottenham’s summer transfer activity continues at a relentless pace as the club works to reshape Roberto De Zerbi’s squad across multiple positions.
Several major deals have already been completed, with significant investment made to strengthen the defensive unit at Spurs.
Jan Paul van Hecke has been the most expensive arrival of the window so far, joining in a £52 million deal agreed with Brighton.
The Netherlands international was one of Tottenham’s leading defensive targets and joins Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi as notable additions at the back.
All three defenders have arrived as part of a concerted effort to improve depth and experience in defence ahead of the new season.
Further forward, Tottenham have continued to explore a move for Manchester City winger Savinho as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
Midfield has also become a major area of focus, with Sandro Tonali among the most prominent names discussed internally at the club.
Reports over the past fortnight have indicated that Tottenham held talks with representatives of the Newcastle midfielder, with the Magpies valuing the player at around the £100 million mark.
An opening proposal worth £80 million was reportedly submitted by Spurs but fell short of what Newcastle demanded, leaving negotiations ongoing.
Mateus Fernandes of West Ham has also been linked with a move to north London, with several Premier League clubs monitoring his situation during the transfer window.
Attention has now shifted towards the goalkeeping department, with football.london’s Alasdair Gold reporting that Tottenham are in advanced talks to sign Martin Dubravka on a free transfer.
The move would represent one of the more unexpected pieces of business in what has been a busy and ambitious summer for the club.
Dubravka spent several years at Newcastle before joining Burnley last summer, having made well over 170 appearances for the Magpies across all competitions during his time at St James’ Park.
The Slovakian international brings extensive experience from both domestic and European competition, which is believed to be one of the major attractions for Tottenham.
Spurs’ interest in adding a goalkeeper appears to be connected to uncertainty surrounding current first-choice stopper Guglielmo Vicario, with reported interest from Juventus fuelling speculation about the Italian’s future.
With Vicario’s situation unresolved, Tottenham have been assessing multiple scenarios within the goalkeeping department to ensure they are covered regardless of the outcome.
Securing Dubravka on a free transfer would allow the club to add proven experience without committing a significant transfer fee to the deal.
That financial flexibility could prove particularly valuable given Tottenham’s investment in other areas of the squad, especially with a potential pursuit of Tonali still ongoing.
