Tottenham Hotspur have been by far the busiest side in the Premier League so far this summer. They've spent over £200m, welcomed six fresh faces, and are only just getting started.
Up next could be the addition of a new shot-stopper amid concerns that Gulielmo Vicario could still head for the exit door, and that could see Juventus' Michele Di Gregorio arrive.

Tottenham have wasted no time so far this summer. What they've wanted, they've got almost every time, and a move for Di Gregorio could end in similar fashion.
Tottenham launch serious move for Di Gregorio
As reported by Calciomercato IT and relayed by Sport Witness, Tottenham have launched a serious move to sign Di Gregorio, who is unhappy at Juventus.

Michele di Gregorio for Juventus.
The Turin club are reportedly ready to sanction an exit if an offer worth €15m (£13m) arrives and that is certainly within Tottenham's financial reach.
The goalkeeper's agent publicly hit out at Juventus earlier in the window and it's since become clear that his client is desperate for a move.
Di Gregorio cannot become Spurs' No.1
As much as Roberto De Zerbi admires Di Gregorio, he is not good enough to become the No.1 in North London. The Lilywhites would be welcoming a downgrade in a summer full of upgrades if the 28-year-old replaced Vicario. Even for £13m, the Juventus man must arrive as a backup and backup only.
25/26 Di Gregorio Vicario
Minutes 2,655 2,790
Clean sheets 13 7
Saves 61 83
Save percentage 70.9% 62.4%
The numbers show that Spurs do need a new shot-stopper, but they also highlight why Di Gregorio should not be that man. Compared to Vicario, the Juventus goalkeeper made less saves last season and even with a better save percentage, his overall performance was not significantly better.
If Spurs want to match this summer's ambition between the sticks, then an option like James Trafford should take priority instead.
