As August unfolds, it’s shaping up to be a crucial month for Tottenham Hotspur. Manager Ange Postecoglou could see his squad drastically reshaped if several deals go through.
High on Tottenham’s list are centre backs Edmond Tapsoba and Micky Van de Ven, with the club reportedly ready to do whatever it takes to provide Postecoglou with the resources he needs. Fabrizio Romano, the revered Italian journalist, reports that the Spurs are carefully studying both defenders to determine the best fit for Postecoglou’s system.
In the backdrop of these potential acquisitions is the ongoing saga of Harry Kane. The prolific England striker continues to be the subject of intense transfer speculation, with German giants Bayern Munich persistently linked. According to Romano, Tottenham is bracing for a busy month, particularly if Kane’s deal goes through, which would necessitate finding a new striker.
Kane’s future at Spurs seems to hang in the balance, with Rob Guest of Football London reporting that the striker plans to remain at Tottenham if he features in the season opener against Brentford on August 13. Meanwhile, Florian Plettenberg reports that Bayern’s package for Kane is around €95m, including possible add-ons, and that there are no new meetings scheduled between Bayern and Spurs Chairman Daniel Levy. Despite this, all parties involved are reportedly confident of finding an agreement.
In other Tottenham news, Chris Powell, the club’s Head of Coaching for the U17-U21s, has departed his role, as reported by Henry Winter.
Stay tuned for more updates as the transfer window continues to heat up and Tottenham Hotspur prepare for a potentially transformative month.
