Tottenham Hotspur moved one step closer to taking the sting out of a thoroughly disappointing season by progressing to the semi finals of the Europa League thanks to an away win at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Bringing that major piece of silverware to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would be a huge coup for the under-fire Ange Postecoglou, whose future at the club is still in jeopardy.
No matter who is in charge come the start of the 2025/26 campaign, it’s clear that Tottenham Hotspur must invest during the summer window. The squad has been short of options at times this season due to injuries and LondonWorld looks at what a dream Spurs XI may look like if current transfer rumours come true.
Spurs win race for in-demand Crystal Palace star
Goalkeeper: Guglielmo Vicario
Defenders: Djed Spence, Marc Guehi, Micky Van de Ven, Pedro Porro
Over the festive period and into the New Year, the goalkeeping position was under great scrutiny at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. An injury to Vicario saw Fraser Forster step in and then Antonin Kinsky arrived early doors in January. Spurs will be hoping that Vicario stays fit next term with the shot-stopper a reliable option between the sticks.
There could be some upheaval in the back four. Cristian Romero continues to be linked with a move to a Real Madrid side wanting defensive reinforcements having been dumped out of the Champions League by Arsenal, while Destiny Udogie could be a target for Manchester City. The rise of Djed Spence at full-back has been one of the few positives this season and there are plenty of rumours as to who could replace Romero. One name that won’t go away is that of Marc Guehi, who continues to be linked with an exit from Selhurst Park this summer.
Tottenham boost as West Ham bow out of Angel Gomes pursuit
Midfielders: James Maddison, Angel Gomes, Dejan Kulusevski
Wingers: Son Heung-min, Jack Grealish
There’s a feeling that Tottenham Hotspur are still to see the best of James Maddison, but the England international has not been helped by the team’s topsy-turvy form. The ever-versatile Dejan Kulusevski remains an asset and has impressed both on the wing and in a more central role.
Lille midfielder Angel Gomes seems destined for the Premier League this summer as his contract comes to an end in France. The midfielder is available on a free transfer and would be a major coup for Spurs, who were handed a boost this week with news that even a personal Graham Potter phone call couldn’t convince the star to pick West Ham as his destination.
Meanwhile, there’s a feeling that there could be new blood on the wings. Postecoglou had made it clear that he hopes to make the Mathys Tel loan move permanent, but the Bayern Munich loanee has not dazzled in London. Fichajes claims that Spurs could enter a bidding war for Manchester City man Jack Grealish in that position.
Wolves talisman to usurp Dominic Solanke?
Striker: Matheus Cunha
Spurs splashed a club record £65 million on Dominic Solanke last summer and the ex AFC Bournemouth man has bagged a respectable 12 goals this season. However, Fichajes this week claim that that Tottenham Hotspur are looking to sign Wolves forward Matheus Cunha on a permanent deal. That move is thought to cost at least the fee spent on Solanke with five other top flight clubs also linked with the player.
