Tottenham Hotspur are running out of time in the summer transfer window to upgrade a squad that finished an embarrassing 17th in the Premier League last season, but if they can manage to close out the window strong and add the right pieces alongside Mohammed Kudus and Joao Palhinha - two quailty Premier League footballers - then there is more than just hope of them securing a top five finish for the 2026/27 Champions League season.
Already, Tottenham have qualified for the 2025/26 Champions League campaign through an inspired Europa League title run, and that should be more than enough impetus to give Daniel Levy the extra push he needs to get ENIC to invest properly in August.
There is still time left, and according to information from Michael Bridges of Sky Sports, Tottenham have their eyes on three signings they want to make before the clock strikes midnight on Aug. 31 and ends the summer 2025 transfer window.
Tottenham aren't only looking at attackers
Firstly, Tottenham are, as every fan would expect, prioritizing signings to change the complexion of their attack. Spurs would like to sign a winger and an attacking midfielder. However, Tottenham are also looking at a third area of the squad they'd like to strengthen before September, and that is the defense.
Tottenham have been showing major interest in Savinho, and the Manchester City winger appears to be the new top transfer target for Thomas Frank and the key decision-makers at N17. Secondary to Savinho, Spurs are looking back to Crystal Palace hero Eberechi Eze as their top attacking midfield target, and there is a desperate need for a No. 10 after the ACL tear to veteran James Maddison.
Beyond the winger and attacking midfield positions, Tottenham could go for a grab bag in defense. The priority should, in theory, be a new left back to give depth to Destiny Udogie, because an injury to the Italian standout would force Djed Spence to cover and then leave Tottenham precariously thin at both fullback positions.
Although fullback is more of a depth issue, Tottenham could stockpile center backs and even use a back three more often under Frank, who was known to mix up his tactics and formations at Brentford over the years. Marc Guehi is likely out of reach, but there are other center back options that could intrigue Tottenham, whose ideas in defense remain far less concrete than their priorities on the front line.
