It’s over! The summer 2024 transfer window has officially closed, and the best I can say about it is... wow, was that ever weird. The market was bizarre, many clubs were hamstrung by PSR issues that either prevented them from making signings or resulted in some very strange and inflated deals involving young players, and the backstop of Saudi Arabia money never fully materialized. It felt in a lot of ways like everyone was stuck in mud.
That said — Tottenham Hotspur actually did a lot of business, and much of it good! They brought in five players, and send a whole mess of players out of the club, either via free transfer, permanent sale, or loan (including academy kids who did not make the grade). There was a definite intent in this window to target younger players with high upside and take a chance on them developing into the stars of the future... and also a club-record signing of striker Dominic Solanke.
The only negative was that the club was not able to find a solution for Sergio Reguilon, the last of the “deadwood” players not in Ange Postecoglou’s plans. But there’s still time, as the windows in other countries close later.
We’ll be back soon to give our take on the window as a whole but for now here’s a summary of the incomings and outgoings this summer at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.
