“I’m hearing” – Fabrizio Romano now shares next signing Tottenham could make after Solanke
As Tottenham Hotspur prepares for a pivotal Premier League campaign, the club is actively exploring options to reinforce their squad, particularly in the midfield, before the summer transfer window closes. The need for additional midfield strength has become a significant focus, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano providing insight into the club’s ongoing efforts. Speaking exclusively to GIVEMESPORT, Romano suggested that the potential sale of Giovani Lo Celso could expedite Tottenham’s plans to bring in new midfield talent.
Tottenham has been moderately busy in the transfer market this summer, making several strategic acquisitions. The club’s marquee signing so far has been Dominic Solanke, who is expected to play a crucial role in leading the attack. Solanke’s arrival signifies Tottenham’s intent to enhance their offensive capabilities, a crucial aspect as they aim to compete at the highest level in the Premier League. Alongside Solanke, Tottenham has also secured the signings of two promising young players, Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall. Both are central midfielders by trade, with immense potential to grow into key players for the club. However, given their youth and lack of experience at the top level, it is unlikely that they will be regular starters in their debut seasons, instead potentially being gradually integrated into the first team.
Currently, Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr are expected to maintain their positions at the base of Tottenham’s midfield. Both players have shown promise, and their performances will be critical in providing stability and defensive cover in the middle of the park. Additionally, Rodrigo Bentancur, who had an injury-riddled campaign last season, is anticipated to feature more prominently in the upcoming season. Bentancur’s potential return to form could be a significant boost for Tottenham, offering creativity and drive from midfield. However, despite these options, Tottenham’s management, led by Ange Postecoglou, continues to explore the transfer market for additional reinforcements.
Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey has emerged as a potential target, and discussions are reportedly underway between Postecoglou and Villa’s manager Unai Emery regarding a possible player swap involving Ramsey and Lo Celso. Ramsey, known for his energy, versatility, and ability to contribute both defensively and offensively, could be an ideal fit for Tottenham’s midfield needs. The potential swap deal could also work in favor of both clubs, as it would address specific requirements for each side ahead of the new season.
Fabrizio Romano, known for his reliability in transfer matters, emphasized in his interview with GIVEMESPORT that Tottenham is not only focused on right-back options but is also keen to address other positions, particularly in midfield, before the transfer window shuts. He noted that the departure of key midfielders, such as Lo Celso and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who is reportedly close to securing a move to Marseille, could prompt Tottenham to act decisively in the transfer market. Romano stated, “I think they will look at something in the midfield. From what I’m hearing, they will consider other positions [than right-back]. So, let’s see in the midfield what happens. I think it’s also important to understand what’s going to happen with Lo Celso because if Lo Celso leaves after Hojbjerg, it could be the case for Tottenham to do something in that position.”
Beyond midfield reinforcements, Tottenham is also exploring options to add more attacking flair to their squad. With Solanke now providing firepower at the top of the pitch, the club is reportedly interested in signing Kingsley Coman from Bayern Munich. Coman, a highly skilled winger known for his blistering pace and ability to take on defenders, could be a valuable addition to Tottenham’s attacking unit. His ability to stretch defenses and create space for other attackers would complement Solanke’s goal-scoring abilities.
Journalist Steve Kay, speaking on KS1 TV, highlighted the positive relationship between Tottenham and Bayern Munich, which has been strengthened by previous transfer dealings involving high-profile players like Harry Kane and Eric Dier. This existing rapport could make negotiations for Coman more straightforward, potentially leading to a deal that could see the French international move to North London. However, it remains to be seen whether Coman, who has earned 57 caps for France, would be open to such a move. There is speculation that the deal could initially be structured as a loan, allowing both clubs to assess the player’s fit before committing to a permanent transfer. Last season, Coman managed just 1,737 minutes of action across all competitions, a relatively low amount of playing time that could influence his decision to seek more regular first-team football elsewhere.
As the summer transfer window draws to a close, Tottenham Hotspur finds itself at a critical juncture. The club’s management is acutely aware of the need to strengthen the squad in key areas to ensure they are well-prepared for the challenges of the upcoming Premier League season. The potential departures of Lo Celso and Hojbjerg, coupled with the ongoing discussions regarding new signings, suggest that Tottenham could be set for a busy and potentially transformative end to the transfer window. The decisions made in the coming weeks could play a significant role in shaping the club’s fortunes for the season ahead.
