Significant Squad Changes Expected at Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur is poised for a busy summer transfer window, with the club expected to make significant changes to its squad. According to insider Paul, around five to six new players could join as Tottenham plans to part ways with several current squad members including Sergio Reguilón, Djed Spence, Joe Rodon, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and Giovani Lo Celso.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg Set to Depart
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is confirmed to be leaving this summer, with the midfielder absent from the team’s tour to Australia as a part of the mutual agreement for his departure. Tottenham values Hojbjerg at approximately €15m, but initial offers from clubs like Fenerbahce have fallen short.
Joe Rodon Attracts Interest Amid Financial Uncertainties at Leeds
Joe Rodon, currently on loan at Leeds, has garnered interest from newly promoted Premier League clubs. Despite Rodon’s successful stint, Leeds’ financial struggles may prevent a permanent move, setting the stage for other clubs to potentially secure his services.
Ben Davies Offered Flexibility Over His Future
Tottenham holds Ben Davies in high regard and is willing to let the Welsh defender decide his future at the club. Whether he stays as a backup or seeks more regular first-team football elsewhere, Spurs are supportive of his decision.
Manor Solomon and Oliver Skipp Could Depart
Manor Solomon is set to leave Tottenham this summer. Oliver Skipp might also exit due to his desire for more regular playing time, although his status as a homegrown player complicates potential transfer decisions.
Yves Bissouma Likely to Stay Unless a Significant Offer Arrives
Spurs anticipate keeping Yves Bissouma unless they receive an offer exceeding £40 million. The club is not actively seeking to sell the midfielder, expecting that such high bids are unlikely.
Firm Stance on Cuti Romero Amid Speculation
Despite speculation about interest from other clubs, Tottenham remains adamant that Cuti Romero will not be sold. The club is prepared to reject any discussions unless an extraordinary offer, close to £100 million, is received.
Emerson Royal Close to AC Milan Move
Negotiations between Tottenham and AC Milan for Emerson Royal are nearing completion, with only slight differences in valuation to be resolved. Emerson’s desire for regular playtime next season is central to his potential move.
Eberechi Eze: A Priority Target
Tottenham has prioritized the signing of Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, though the deal hinges on the financial structure of the transfer fee, which could amount to £60 million. Spurs are evaluating whether they can meet these financial terms.
Defensive and Midfield Reinforcements Scouted
Tottenham is exploring options for the left center-back role with Murillo, Riccardo Calafiori, and Marc Guehi under consideration. Additionally, midfield targets include Ederson and Amadou Onana, with Spurs potentially ready to invest significantly in this area.
Youth Integration and Future Prospects
Lucas Bergvall is expected to be integrated into the first team next season, with Tottenham holding high hopes for his impact.
Analysis
As Tottenham gears up for the 2023/24 season, the focus is clearly on refreshing the squad with strategic acquisitions while managing exits that align with the club’s future vision. This summer’s transfer activity will be crucial in shaping Tottenham’s capabilities and ambitions under the current management, emphasizing both immediate impact and long-term potential.
I’d like us to keep Skipp around and try him in the no. 6 role. He’s not an no. 8.
Eze would be a brilliant signing.
