Five players Tottenham can sign with Champions League riches as Postecoglou eyes first transfer

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has suddenly become a this summer. By securing qualification to the Champions League, Ange Postecoglou has got his hands on the most valuable bargaining chip in football.

Now, it's up to Daniel Levy to bolster their squad. Fortunately for the Spurs chairman, in an effort to build on the European triumph.

"We're still building this team," said Tottenham's boss following their UEFA Europa League final. "It's a young team, we need to add experience. My thought process has been about .

"But I'm the manager - that decision is not in my hands. It doesn't affect me. You would have seen that in the build-up. All I care about is [the medal] as .

"I don't feel like I've completed the job. We're building. The moment I accepted the role, I had one thing in my head - win something. We've done that now, ."

So, with that being said, football.london has looked at what players Tottenham could attract this summer;

Kevin De Bruyne

If Postecoglou wants experience, then Levy must do whatever it takes to sign Kevin De Bruyne. The 33-year-old midfielder will depart Manchester City when his contract at the Etihad Stadium expires later next month, making him available on a free.

De Bruyne would significantly strengthen Spurs' starting line-up, while he'd also be a great mentor for the younger players, especially the likes of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall. Of course, it wouldn't be easy to secure the Belgian's signature but, with Champions League football on offer, Spurs have a ticket in the raffle.

Martin Zubimendi

Alternatively, Tottenham could try to throw a spanner in the works and go for Martin Zubimendi. The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal for a while now ,as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his options in the middle of the park.

Zubimendi would be a good addition to Postecoglou's side. The Gunners also have Champions League football on offer, so it would be down to Levy to pitch the Real Sociedad star a better deal than what's (seemingly) on offer at the Emirates Stadium.

Rafael Leao

Alternatively, if Tottenham wanted a winger, then they could always try their luck with Rafael Leao. The 25-year-old forward has been linked with a move to the Premier League on numerous occasions in the past following his eye-catching displays for AC Milan.

Had Spurs not secured qualification for the Champions League, they'd have been lucky to sign Dwight McNeil. But, with the most valuable bargaining chip on the table, they have a seat at the table if Leao decides to leave the San Siro.

Xavi Simons

A more realistic option for Tottenham would be Xavi Simons, who could be available after RB Leipzig missed out on Champions League football. It's the first time the German outfit haven't finished inside the top-four in six years, and the first time they've missed out on Europe since their promotion to the top-flight in 2016.

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder would be an excellent addition. Postecoglou would be spoiled for choice in attack!

Rayan Cherki

Last, and by no means least, Rayan Cherki. The 21-year-old maestro was heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge a couple of years ago before Chelsea decided to sign Cole Palmer instead.

He's already announced that he'll be leaving Olympique Lyonnais in the summer, and he could be available for a cut-price fee. Cherki lifts fans from their seats, so his arrival would certainly be welcomed by the home faithful.
