TL;DR: Relax.
This is shaping up to be Tottenham’s busiest and most exciting transfer window in decades. There is an enormous amount happening behind the scenes, both in terms of arrivals and departures.
One thing I’d urge supporters to remember: signing elite players that their clubs desperately don’t want to lose takes time. These aren’t straightforward deals. They require patience, persistence and often weeks of negotiations. The wait can be frustrating, but it’s usually worth it.
The important point? Spurs do not need to sell to buy.
The club are financially capable of making two marquee attacking signings, with the possibility of adding up to three attacking players before the window closes.
That said, there are plenty of outgoing conversations taking place.
Spurs are actively open to offers for Vicario, Romero, Sarr, Solomon and Richarlison, while Djed Spence and Kevin Danso are both attracting significant interest despite not being players the club are actively looking to move.
Latest on the departures:
• Vicario – Active conversations with Juventus. Their goalkeeping shortlist is essentially down to him or Martínez. Fiorentina’s interest continues to grow also. Spurs open to loan with obligation.
• Romero – Inter Milan remain very keen, while Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid all continue to monitor his situation. Won’t kick a ball for Spurs again unless something drastically changes.
• Sarr – Interest from several Premier League clubs, as well as Ange Postecoglou’s Al-Nassr.
• Solomon – Wanted by multiple Premier League and Championship clubs, with Benfica also in the mix.
• Richarlison – Would jump at the opportunity to return to Everton on a long-term contract. Brazilian interest exists but no club likely to meet Tottenham’s valuation.
• Spence – Admired by Liverpool, Manchester City and several of Europe’s biggest clubs.
• Danso – A player Crystal Palace rate extremely highly. We feel they may test the waters here.
Incoming targets:
* Kroupi remains Tottenham’s No.1 striker target. He wants the move, his representatives have held positive talks with Spurs and discussions continue to progress. This is a deal the club are pushing hard to complete.
* The club absolutely love Diomandé. If Spurs can convince him that North London is the right destination, they’ll move decisively.
* Yıldız has been discussed during conversations with Juventus over both Vicario and Romero. Juventus insist he’s not for sale and it would take an enormous offer, but we continue to monitor the situation closely.
* Savinho remains the leading option for the left wing. Talks are ongoing, although Spurs won’t meet Manchester City’s current asking price.
* Nusa is admired but there are internal doubts over whether he genuinely improves the starting XI enough to justify the investment. As things stand, this one feels unlikely.
* Even after the arrivals of Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, Spurs would still explore a deal for Alex Scott if the opportunity presented itself. The club are aware Tottenham is his dream destination.
The club’s view is simple: if a world-class player becomes available, Tottenham believe they should be in the conversation.
That includes Julián Álvarez should Atlético Madrid decide to sanction a sale. Spurs have already used previous dealings involving Romero and Bentancur to make enquiries and establish whether there is any possibility of a deal.
There is still a long way to go in this window. A lot of conversations are happening, patience required. There will be at least another 2 big incomings before the window closes and expect another 7-8 to depart.
The future is bright, it’s lillywhite. Title challenge incoming!
Youth update incoming ⏳🔜
🚨 #THFC have announced FOUR new appointments as part of Roberto De Zerbi’s coaching staff: 👀🇮🇹
- Andrew Crofts (Assistant head coach)
- Ali James (Head of Medical Services)
- Tom Tombleson (Head of Athletic Development)
- Agostino Tibaudi (Strength and Conditioning Coach)
De Zerbi worked with both Andrew Crofts and Agostino Tibaudi throughout his entire time at Brighton. 🤝
Tom Tombleson joins from Manchester City, whilst Ali James joins from Aston Villa.
If the rumoured deal for Luka Vušković (50m) goes through, with Radu Drăgușin (1.5 m) going out on loan & Alejo Véliz's sale to Bahia (7.7m)
That's around 60m in for sales/loans so far, with further expected.
I continue to be impressed by the negotiations & effectiveness the club is displaying this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur reach agreement with Newcastle United for transfer of Sandro Tonali
Package worth up to €110 million settled between clubs this morning
Player agreed personal terms this week - always wanted move
#THFC have their new midfielder ⚪️
#NUFC#Spurs
The Tonali and Fernandes deals could be a huge watershed moment for this window.
If we fail to close either, you’ve not only shown your cards but there’s a huge momentum swing in terms of how you’ve presented Spurs now being different and the “project” and other players know they’re not your first choice.
We have to close at least one. If we have to overpay, so be it…. that’s the result of back to back 17th finishes and a poor approach for years and we actually have an opportunity to turn the tide quickly with the right recruitment this summer (and less fixture congestion next season).
I thought Fernandes might move quicker today but it looks like I misjudged things.
Tonali is the one and the deal is done for circa £75m. £275k per week on a six year contract.
Savinho likely to be pushed next.
COYS
TONALI “HERE WE GO” TODAY
Apparently the delay was Newcastle waiting to see if anyone else come in for him
This proved to be a dangerous game as Arsenal don’t want Tonali
They want Bruno G
Man City about to sign there most expensive ever player
The player agreed terms weeks ago
Newcastle will accept Spurs 3rd bid now
So they can work on replacing him
🚨 TOTAL AGREEMENT between Sandro Tonali and #THFC for a contract until 2032. 😳✅
Tottenham are now confident to reach a deal with Newcastle to sign the midfielder, who wants to leave Newcastle and has chosen to join Spurs.
Roberto De Zerbi has had a key-role! 🇮🇹
@NicoSchira
He has got a few things right recently, so let’s hope this is true…🙏
Are @SpursOfficial actually serious about getting Tonali, or is this just all PR?
If you have an agreement with the player then pay the money. £100m is overpaying yes but sometimes you have to push a little extra to make that statement, to make you appealing to other top talent
Odd update overnight: The Mail claims that Tottenham Hotspur asked Newcastle to reconsider their initial decision to reject their opening offer for Sandro Tonali.
The offer is believed to be 75m. The Magpies, however, stayed firm.
Newcastle reportedly holding out for an asking price closer to the £100m mark for the 26-year-old, and an acceptable package has not yet been presented.
If this is true, it's a very odd negotiation tactic.
