Tottenham to break transfer record for ‘biggest signings in their history’ in January
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly preparing to make a major statement in the upcoming January transfer window, with growing speculation that the North London club could reignite their pursuit of Brazilian superstar Rodrygo if he becomes available.
The left-wing position has been a persistent issue for Tottenham this season. Despite the emergence of Wilson Odobert and the arrival of Xavi Simons, neither player has managed to deliver consistent performances in that area. Manager Thomas Frank has rotated his options in an effort to find balance across the front line, but the lack of a reliable left-sided attacker remains a notable weakness in an otherwise promising Spurs side.
Now, reports suggest that Spurs could once again turn to Real Madrid’s Rodrygo, a player who was strongly linked with a move to N17 during the summer transfer window. According to a recent report from TBR Football, the Brazilian forward is considering his future at the Santiago Bernabeu as he seeks more regular playing time, and Tottenham are ready to capitalize if the opportunity arises.
Spurs preparing a record-breaking offer for Rodrygo
Transfer insider Dean Jones has revealed that Tottenham are ready to back Thomas Frank with significant funds in the next two transfer windows. The club’s hierarchy, led by Daniel Levy and new sporting director Johan Lange, reportedly view this period as a chance to push Spurs toward elite status both domestically and in Europe. Strengthening their attack has been described as a “clear priority,” with marquee names already being discussed internally.
Jones told TEAMtalk:
“Before the January transfer window opens, I think we’ll start to see just how ambitious Tottenham are willing to be. It’s never easy to make a statement signing in January, but we’ll soon get a clear idea of their intent and their long-term strategy heading into 2026 and beyond.
“I’ve already reported that wide attacking options are a major priority, and Spurs have been working on a shortlist over the past couple of weeks. Some of the targets might be unrealistic in the short term, but Tottenham are definitely planning something big.
“If the likes of Rodrygo at Real Madrid or Kenan Yildiz at Juventus become genuinely available — either in January or next summer — Tottenham will not hesitate to enter the race. I think we could see some of the biggest signings in Spurs’ history in the next couple of windows.”
Jones added that Tottenham’s new investors, who are expected to inject fresh capital into the club, could further boost their transfer ambitions — but warned that such spending power often comes with inflated price tags. Still, Tottenham appear determined to compete financially with England’s top clubs if it means securing a world-class winger capable of transforming their attack.
Premier League rivals circling for Rodrygo
Tottenham’s pursuit of Rodrygo won’t be straightforward. TEAMtalk’s report notes that the 24-year-old Brazilian is open to testing himself in the Premier League, but Spurs will have to fend off serious competition. Liverpool are reportedly viewing Rodrygo as a potential long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, whose future remains uncertain amid interest from Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Manchester City are also understood to be admirers of the versatile forward, seeing him as a dynamic option for their evolving front line.
Adding to the challenge, Arsenal have also been credited with interest in the Real Madrid attacker, potentially setting up a fierce North London transfer battle in January.
Despite the competition, Tottenham’s growing ambition under Thomas Frank — coupled with their financial readiness to make a club-record bid — could make them a serious contender for Rodrygo’s signature. The Brazilian has long been admired for his pace, technical ability, and knack for scoring crucial goals in high-pressure moments, qualities that would fit perfectly into Spurs’ attacking philosophy.
Should Tottenham succeed in landing Rodrygo, it would not only solve a major tactical issue but also signal a dramatic shift in the club’s transfer strategy — one focused on elite talent capable of propelling them into the Premier League’s upper echelon.
With the January window fast approaching, all eyes will now be on whether Spurs can turn their renewed ambition into reality and finally land the kind of world-class winger that could define their next era under Thomas Frank.
