Tottenham’s summer rebuild could be about to move into another exciting phase, with Rafael Leão, Savinho and Antonio Nusa all reportedly under consideration as attacking targets.
According to a source on X, Spurs have recently held positive talks with Leão’s camp as they continue to explore options for a new wide forward.

The AC Milan star is the standout name on the list, but Manchester City winger Savinho and Norway international Antonio Nusa are also said to be in the frame.
Tottenham have already been one of the busiest Premier League clubs in the market.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side have strengthened heavily in defense and midfield, and the next clear priority appears to be adding more pace, flair and end product in the final third.
Leão, Savinho and Nusa offer different profiles
Leão would be the headline signing. The Portuguese winger has the experience, power and star quality to instantly lift Tottenham’s attack.
TEAMtalk reports that Spurs have shown interest in the AC Milan forward, while TNT Sports claims Milan could be open to a deal worth around €60m.

Savinho would be a different type of move. Tottenham pushed for him last year and his creativity, dribbling and Premier League experience would suit De Zerbi’s style.
Nusa, meanwhile, would be more of a long-term project, but his direct running and ability to play across the front line make him an interesting option.
Spurs should prioritise Leão if the price is right
Tottenham should make Leão their first choice from this list. Savinho and Nusa are exciting, but Leão feels like the player who could immediately change the level of the attack.
Spurs need more than just depth. They need a winger who can scare defenders, carry the ball over long distances and produce moments in tight matches. Leão can do that.
The risk, of course, is consistency. He has not always delivered every week at Milan, and his wages would likely be high. But under De Zerbi, in an aggressive attacking system, he could be a brilliant fit.
If the positive talks are genuine and Milan are willing to negotiate, Tottenham should push hard.
This could be the statement signing that completes their attacking rebuild.
Rafael Leao has been linked with a move away from AC Milan this summer.
According to reports from Italy via SportWitness, the player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, is taking his client to England. Apparently, the player has been offered to Tottenham.
It remains to be seen whether the North London club is prepared to get the deal done. The 27-year-old Portuguese international is valued at €60 million.

Rafael Leao could help Spurs
He has done reasonably well at the Italian club this past season, and he could prove to be an interesting acquisition for Tottenham. It is no secret that Spurs need pace and flair in the final third. The 27-year-old can operate on the left side as well as centrally. He will help create chances for his teammates and add unpredictability going forward.
Tottenham have done well to improve the team so far, and they have been very active in the market. However, they need to improve the attacking unit before the window closes. Adding a quality winger and a reliable striker will be a priority for them.
There is no doubt that the 27-year-old has the physicality and technical attributes to thrive in English football. If he can add more consistency to his game, he could prove to be a very handy option in the attack for Tottenham. The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be exciting for Leao as well.
Tottenham reportedly look like they have more ambitious transfer targets in mind as they eye up the likes of Savinho, Rafael Leao, and James Trafford.
Spurs already have deals agreed for Mateus Fernandes (as per BBC Sport) and Sandro Tonali (also via BBC Sport) in big-money transfers, but it seems they’re far from done yet.

With new manager Roberto De Zerbi doing well to narrowly save Tottenham from relegation in the 2025/26 season, it’s surely now vital for a big summer of changes for the north London club.
According to the Independent, this could mean a potential double raid on Man City for Brazilian winger Savinho and English goalkeeper Trafford.
Will Tottenham’s ambitious transfer strategy work?
THFC clearly want to put things right after two really poor seasons in a row, with finishing so close to the relegation zone again surely not an option for a club of this size.

We’ve seen Manchester United fall into this trap in particular for so much of the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, with big names and expensive transfer fees failing to really turn the team’s form around.
While the likes of Tonali, Fernandes, Savinho, and Trafford should in theory strengthen this Spurs squad, it can also be hard for players to adjust to so much change.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can also turn this into a meaningful improvement on the pitch, or else they’ll surely find themselves teetering dangerously close to breaking Financial Fair Play rules.
The club were in the Champions League last season so should be in decent shape from that, but they won’t have any European football in 2026/27, so would do well to return there fast to help pay for these signings.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan winger Rafael Leao might be available this summer for a cut-price fee of £43million, and such a deal would be of interest for Manchester United. The Portugal international played well for Milan in the first half of the season, but fitness issues largely contributed to what has been […]
