3 more Spurs transfer targets reported as De Zerbi revolution continues

2 July 2026 at 13:05

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.

The report adds that Milan’s Portuguese ace Leao has also been mooted as an option, which tallies well with our previous information on the player being offered to Premier League clubs as he looks for a move away from the San Siro.

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.

Spurs fans will hope that big names like Tonali and Fernandes coming in can help things, but there’s perhaps also some risk that comes with making too many changes too quickly.

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.

Tottenham push for “world-class” Manchester City ace as transfer plans intensify

1 July 2026 at 22:30

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing James Trafford from Manchester City.

They are looking to add more depth to the goalkeeping department, even though they signed Martin Dubravka as a backup option last week. Trafford has also been linked with clubs like Aston Villa and Newcastle United.

Spurs eye James Trafford

According to a report from the Independent, they are looking to make a move for the 23-year-old Manchester City goalkeeper who is struggling for opportunities at the English club.

Trafford needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham can get the deal done. The report claims that Tottenham are pushing for a deal. He will be expected to compete with Antonin Kinsky for the starting Spot next season.

Trafford could become a star

Trafford was excellent for Burnley before his move to Manchester City, and there is no doubt that he is one of the best goalkeeping talents in the country. He has the quality to develop into a star for club and country with regular opportunities. Trafford was hailed as “world-class” during his time at Burnley. 

The opportunity to join Tottenham will be hard to turn down for him, especially if they can promise him regular opportunities. It remains to be seen whether they can secure an agreement with Manchester City now. Convincing the goalkeeper to join the club will not be difficult.

If they can sign him for a reasonable amount of money, the 23-year-old could prove to be a huge bargain in future. He could sort out the goalkeeping position at Tottenham and establish himself as the first-choice goalkeeper for the club.

Guglielmo Vicario is expected to leave the club this summer, and it seems that Tottenham want three goalkeepers at their disposal for the upcoming campaign.
