Tottenham Target Three Forwards as Transfer Chains Hold Up Business

Overview

• Tottenham have already completed six first‑team signings this summer with reported spending around £237 million on those deals.
• The club's stated priority is to add up to three attackers — Savinho from Manchester City, Cody Gakpo from Liverpool and a new out‑and‑out centre‑forward — as ENIC’s preferred end‑of‑window business.
• Moves for the two wide targets are stalled because selling clubs want replacements first, with Manchester City seeking cover before allowing Savinho to leave and Liverpool prioritising incoming signings such as Bradley Barcola before negotiating on Gakpo.
• Football365 reported a mid‑August offer for Napoli midfielder Stanislav Lobotka but said the player has decided to stay in Serie A, making that transfer unlikely.
• Spurs are also working to move players on, with goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario linked with Juventus, and the club’s ability to finish the forward recruitment will depend on other clubs completing their deals and meeting registration deadlines.
