“Tottenham set to seal transfer in the next few hours’ after club agrees to pay Spurs asking price whose transfer fee will be used to complete an important deal
Tottenham Hotspur’s summer transfer activity is in full swing as they balance new acquisitions with their pre-season preparations. Under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, the team returned to north London over the weekend to gear up for the upcoming campaign.
So far, Spurs have secured two signings this summer. They welcomed Timo Werner back on loan and brought in the promising talent of Archie Gray. The club’s chairman, Daniel Levy, has had a busy start to the summer, overseeing not only these additions but also facilitating several departures from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The exodus is likely to continue, with the Lilywhites anticipating another offer to arrive imminently.
In bolstering their defensive options, Spurs added Gray, an 18-year-old midfielder capable of playing right-back, having demonstrated his versatility at Leeds United. This move followed the departure of Joe Rodon, who went the opposite direction as part of the deal for Gray. Now, just a week later, Spurs might be on the verge of losing another defender.
According to Tuttomercato, AC Milan is expected to submit a new bid of around €15 million (£12.5 million) for Emerson Royal. The Brazilian right-back has been the subject of ongoing negotiations between the two clubs, though discussions have stalled over the valuation. Milan’s previous offer was approximately €12 million (£10 million), but Spurs, who acquired Emerson for £26 million from Barcelona in 2021, deemed it insufficient. The anticipated new bid could potentially break the deadlock and expedite the transfer process.
Significant changes have marked the early stages of Tottenham’s transfer window. For years, the club struggled to offload unwanted players, often holding onto them longer than desired. A notable example is Tanguy Ndombele, whose contract was terminated a year early this summer, representing a considerable financial loss for Levy. This move, however, signals the chairman’s commitment to supporting Postecoglou’s vision for the new season.
Spurs fans are now eagerly awaiting more new arrivals to bolster the squad ahead of the new campaign. The proactive approach in the transfer market under Levy’s direction suggests a fresh start for Tottenham Hotspur, aiming to provide Postecoglou with the resources needed to build a competitive team.
