Tottenham Hotspur supporters can look forward to a more dynamic summer transfer window after the club secured qualification for European competition, which is expected to significantly boost chairman Daniel Levy`s recruitment budget.
Tottenham Transfer Plans After European Qualification
Securing a place in Europe`s club competitions next season provides Spurs with a substantial financial uplift and dramatically enhances their appeal in the transfer market.
Tottenham have emerged as potential suitors for Bayern Munich forward Leroy Sane, whose contract is set to expire soon, despite previous interest from Arsenal. Reports suggest that Sane`s arrival could influence Tottenham`s plans regarding Mathys Tel.
With extensive experience at the highest level from his time at both Bayern and Manchester City, Sane represents the kind of established player many argue Spurs currently need.
| Tottenham`s best-performing regulars in the Premier League | Average match rating |
|---|---|
| Son Heung-min | 7.00 |
| James Maddison | 6.98 |
| Pedro Porro | 6.95 |
| Dominic Solanke | 6.84 |
| Dejan Kulusevski | 6.83 |
Tottenham management reportedly believes there is a need to bring in more experienced players to complement their relatively young squad. Sane`s status as a potential free agent makes him an attractive option for Levy to add quality without a transfer fee, regardless of who manages the team.
The main obstacle to signing Sane appears to be his significant wage demands. Reports indicate these include a fixed salary of £192,000 per week, additional performance-related bonuses, and a signing-on fee.
Such terms would likely make Sane the highest earner at the club, surpassing Son Heung-min. If Tottenham are unwilling to meet these demands, their search for experienced players could lead them to alternative targets.
Eberechi Eze, the Crystal Palace star, is another player with a similar profile to Sane who has been strongly linked with a move ahead of the summer window.
The 26-year-old`s journey to prominence suggests he possesses an elite mentality, having spent part of his youth career in Arsenal`s academy.
Eze`s current contract contains a release clause valued at £68 million, a figure that is reportedly being considered by Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham Prepared to Trigger Eberechi Eze £68m Release Clause
While some reports have previously stated Spurs` readiness to activate Eze`s clause, recent information suggests they might explore other avenues too.
Sources indicate that Tottenham remain ready to pay the £68m required for Eze, but they could also propose a deal involving a player exchange plus cash, which would potentially reduce the upfront cost.
It is not yet clear which Tottenham players might be included in such a potential swap deal. Tottenham`s strong interest is reportedly a concern for Crystal Palace, who are hoping to agree a new contract with Eze.
Manager Ange Postecoglou is reportedly well aware of the attacking midfielder`s quality, as Eze has delivered impressive performances against Tottenham in the past, causing difficulties for them.
Besides Tottenham, several other clubs are named as potential destinations for Eze, including Manchester United, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Bayern Munich, indicating he is not short of options. However, it is understood that Eze is privately hesitant to force a move, as he is content at Selhurst Park.
