Tottenham are keen on bolstering their inconsistent attack this summer.
Tottenham have done well to bolster their defence and midfield department by bringing in some top-quality players this summer. The Lilywhites have signed the likes of Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson, Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes, and Sandro Tonali as they aim to compete at the top end of the Premier League table. However, there is still some business left to be done before the transfer window shuts in a few weeks’ time.
Roberto de Zerbi is clearly looking to bring in a new attacker during the final few weeks of the transfer window as he aims to kickstart a new era at N17. The Italian tactician recently mentioned that the Lilywhites are still not done in the market and are waiting for the right opportunity to bring in a new player who could make an instant impact at N17. The fans are also growing increasingly anxious as the North Londoners continue to be linked with some high-profile attackers in recent days.
It is clear to see that Spurs need someone who could displace Dominic Solanke in the starting eleven as the club aims to go toe-to-toe with its rivals. The England international is heavily linked with a move to Nottingham Forest, forcing the Lilywhites to push hard for a new striker who is tactically fluid and capable of operating in different scenarios. So, it remains to be seen who the North Londoners are targeting for that #9 role in the team.
Tottenham continue to get linked with Cody Gakpo
Tottenham have done well to address most of the glaring issues in the squad during the first half of the transfer window. They have shown ambition in the market and brought in players who are ready to make an instant impact at N17. Not only that, but the Lilywhites have also managed to outspend every other Premier League club this summer as they aim to kickstart a new era at Hotspur Way under Roberto de Zerbi.
Recent reports have linked Spurs with Liverpool star Cody Gakpo. The Dutchman is keen on leaving the Reds and making the move to N17 as he looks to take the next step in his career. However, it is believed that Liverpool would only be willing to sanction a sale for the prolific attacker if they manage to find a suitable replacement in the coming weeks. Not only that, but Gakpo also has four years remaining on his current deal at Anfield, making it difficult for both clubs to agree on a transfer fee for the player.
savinho, both.
for the 9, the club wanted to give him kroupi. very unfortunate that he then got injured. gakpo is a target fully driven by de zerbi.

There has now been a new update on the transfer saga involving Cody Gakpo. As per Szyexcl (via X), Roberto de Zerbi is pushing hard to land the Dutchman in the final few weeks of the transfer window. The Italian tactician is a huge admirer of the player and wants the Lilywhites to do everything they can to sign him as he aims to bolster the attack for the upcoming campaign.
The time has come for Spurs to make a move for the player and offer a fee that would be too hard to turn down. The Lilywhites cannot afford to drag this transfer saga until the end of the window as they need to bolster the attack before the start of the season. With Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert still recovering from their ACL injuries, bringing in Cody Gakpo would instantly elevate the attack as he could operate either as an inverted left-winger or as a lone striker under Roberto de Zerbi.
