Tottenham Hotspur are expected to be on the hunt for plenty of new names in the summer as they aim to bounce back from what has been a disappointing injury-hit 2024/25 season.
The campaign started with Ange Postecoglou boldly claiming that he always delivers trophies in his second season but after exits in the Carabao Cup semi-final and the early rounds of the FA Cup - Spurs fans are instead wondering what might have been if they had a full fit squad.
As it stands, the North London outfit are 14th in the table and even find themselves below a vastly underachieving Manchester United side. They do, however, have one last shot at Europe in the form of the Europa League after reaching the quarter-final.
Spurs have stuck with Ange Postecoglou despite some tricky patches in form and are expected to back whoever is in the dugout next season. With that in mind, 3 Added Minute takes a look at how the starting XI could look at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next term.
A marquee £50m defensive signing
Guglielmo Vicario is Spurs’ number one and is backed up by January signing Antonin Kinsky. He has done a steady job since returning from injury and is expected to remain a key player next term.
Pedro Porro loves to bomb forward and remains a key player at both ends of the pitch in the right-back area. Meanwhile, on the other side, Djed Spence has enjoyed a steady breakout campaign this year and is viewed by most fans as the first choice ahead of Destiny Udogie on current form.
Micky Van de Ven remains a key player at centre back despite his recent injury issues and at his peak is central to Spurs’ high-line and desire to press opposing teams. He could have a new partner next term in Marc Guehi, with London World claiming Spurs are interested in prising the England international away from Crystal Palace for a reported £50m.
A former Man Utd prodigy arrives on a free
Lucas Bergvall is a bright prospect and will be eyeing as much game time as possible over the next few years after showing excellent exuberance and physicality at the heart of midfield.
James Maddison, meanwhile with nine goals and five assists is expected to play in a more advanced role to provide the creative spark and excitement that the front-line needs to score goals.
A new arrival in the centre could be England international Angel Gomes. The former Manchester United prodigy is out of contract in the summer and is blessed with the ability to play all across the midfield. His composure in possession and excellent workrate make him a target for Spurs, according to Football Transfers.
A Champions League finalist joins the frontline
Spurs have a wealth of attacking options and one of the most reliable of those is Son Heung-min. The South Korean can play on either flank and provides the team with plenty of pace and energy to run in behind defences. Summer signing Dominic Solanke has been steady but unremarkable infront of goal when fit and is expected to be given more time to prove himself as the main striker.
Meanwhile, an exciting signing which could garner great excitement could be Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Jamie Gittens. The England under-21 international reached the Champions League final last season but is linked with a move away from Dortmund, according to London World who state Spurs want to beat Chelsea to the signature of the pacey forward.
