Tottenham are set to make four transfer deals official today, including £17m sale
Tottenham Set to Confirm Four Major Transfer Deals Today Amid Summer Rebuild
Tottenham Hotspur are poised to announce four separate transfer moves—both incoming and outgoing—on Tuesday, marking a significant step in their summer rebuild. As reported by Alasdair Gold of Football.London, the North London club is preparing to officially complete these transactions now that the calendar has rolled over into July, a key date in the football contract cycle.
With Spurs fans growing increasingly frustrated at the perceived lack of urgency in the transfer market, these updates will come as welcome news. There has been rising concern among supporters regarding the slow pace of squad development, especially with pre-season fast approaching. However, movement behind the scenes suggests the club is quietly making progress, particularly in its pursuit of top targets like Ghanaian star Mohammed Kudus.
Why July 1st Matters in the Transfer Calendar
Gold explains that June 30th is the standard expiration date for many football contracts, particularly loan deals. As of July 1st, players on expiring contracts become free agents, and obligations tied to loan-to-buy agreements are activated. This means Spurs can now formally confirm several key moves that had already been agreed in principle.
Four Deals to Be Made Official by Tottenham Today
1. Mathys Tel – The exciting French forward, who spent last season on loan from Bayern Munich, will now officially join Spurs on a permanent basis. The deal, which had already been wrapped up behind the scenes, is worth £29.8 million, with an additional £4.2 million in performance-related add-ons. His loan spell officially ended on June 30, allowing the full transfer to go through.
2. Kevin Danso – Spurs had a £21 million obligation to buy the Austrian-born centre-back from Lens after his loan ended on Monday. That clause is now active, and Danso will be confirmed as a permanent Tottenham player today.
3. Luka Vuskovic – The Croatian teenager, signed two years ago from Hajduk Split for around £12 million, has completed his loan at Belgian club Westerlo. With that spell now over, Vuskovic is finally set to link up with Ange Postecoglou’s squad, adding youthful depth to the backline.
4. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg – The Danish midfielder’s loan stint at Marseille has also concluded, with the French club obligated to pay £17 million to make the deal permanent. That clause, too, is now activated, and Højbjerg will no longer be a Tottenham player.
Departures Also Officially Confirmed
On the outgoing front, Spurs have also confirmed the departures of several senior players whose contracts expired on June 30. Sergio Reguilon, Fraser Forster, and Alfie Whiteman are all now free agents, as the club had previously announced in May.
In addition, Timo Werner’s loan deal has also come to an end, meaning the German forward is no longer officially tied to the club, though Tottenham remain interested in potentially bringing him back under revised terms.
Wage Bill Freed Up – and More Signings Imminent
These exits clear significant space on Tottenham’s wage bill, providing additional flexibility to register incoming players ahead of the new season. With several squad gaps now more clearly defined, the expectation is that further signings will follow quickly.
One of the next names through the door is expected to be Kota Takai, a highly-rated Japanese defender. Reports suggest that a deal to bring the teenager to North London is well underway and could be finalised soon.
As Spurs gear up for the new campaign—with the added pressure of competing in the Champions League—these confirmed moves mark the beginning of a busy transfer window at Hotspur Way.
