Managing Tottenham as transfer record smashed in double deal and £20m star sold off

Tottenham Hotspur will hope to get over their UEFA Super Cup heartbreak by bolstering their squad with quality ahead of the new Premier League season.

Spurs failed to capture a second European honour on Wednesdayafter losing on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain. Despite being 2-0 up with minutes to go, they conceded two late strikes with the Champions League winners ending up victorious from the spot.

As is the usual with football, there is no time to waste and with the north London side beginning their league season on Saturday at home to Burnley, there is more work to be done to improveThomas Frank's side.

While there have been seven new arrivals this summer, Mohammed Kudus is the only signing that was both clinched this summer and also expected to play a significant role in Spurs' season.

The club's interest in Eberechi Eze and Savinhohas been discussed at length as they look to make last season's Europa League triumph the beginning of a winning mentality in N17. Here, Football London takes a closer look at some of the moves Spurs could clinch with just weeks left of the transfer window.

Spurs informed of Savinho's price

Spurs have been locked in negotiations with Manchester City over Savinhowho endured a disappointing debut campaign for the Citizens last season. The Brazilian scored just one league goal but did end the season, following the Club World Cup, with 16 goal contributions in 48 games, with 13 of those being assists.

The departure of Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevki's injury which could keep him out of action for the rest of the calendar year has left Frank's squad a tad short in the wide areas.

Discussions surrounding a £43m package for the 21-year-old was reported, but according to the latest claims, it'll take a club-record fee for Spurs to prize the Brazilian away from Pep Guardiola's side. According to , Spurs held talks with Savinho's agent who told the club that a £67m bid would be enough to convince Man City to part ways with him.

Spurs' hurdle in Eze record transfer fee

Spurs' interest in Eze this summer has been well-documented as the latest update on the transfer saga claims the club are set to make an official bid for the Crystal Palace talisman.

Fresh off winning the Community Shield after the Eagles' victory over Liverpool on Sunday, the England midfielder could be set for a move across London if a deal between the two Premier League sides can be agreed.

While Eze has been subject to interest from Arsenal, it's Spurs that have seemingly moved ahead of their rivals in the race for the 27-year-old's signature. Should Spurs succeed in their acquisition of the talented star, they'll reportedly have to fork out what would be a club-record £68m fee which is the figure said to be Eze's release clause. Football London understands the clause expires before the start of the Premier League season.

The ex-QPR man is said to be attracted to the opportunity to play in the Champions League and remain in London but reports suggest Spurs value him around the £55m mark – the fee they paid West Ham for Kudus.

Banking £20m for bit-part star

Manor Solomon may have signed for Spurs in 2023 but the Israeli has made just six appearances for the club. A meniscus injury just three months into his career in north London ended his 2023/24 campaign.

The following campaign saw the winger sent on loan to Leeds United as he resurrected his career by playing a major role in the Whites' promotion to the Premier League. While he scored 10 goals and providing 12 assists for Daniel Farke's side, his return to Spurs this summer has been less triumphant as he missed the club's tour of Asia due to injury.

With the likes of Kudus, Wilson Odobert, Richarlison, Mathys Tel and Brennan Johnson all ahead of Solomon in the rotation, Frank could look into cashing in on the 26-year-old. Spurs are said to be looking for £15m to £20m for his services with a return to Leeds being mooted given Farke's displeasure with his lack of attacking options.

The German was damning in the club's faltering attempts to improve their forward line as he recently said: "In comparison to our Championship side, we have not improved in the offence.

"We are not prepared yet for a long Premier League season. We are capable of playing at a good level but in order to be ready and to win games at this level… you need players who can score goals and give assists."
