[p]Following a difficult campaign that saw [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/tottenham/UDg08Ohm/"]Spurs[/a] narrowly avoid relegation, head coach Roberto De Zerbi made it clear at the end of the season that preparations for the new campaign would begin immediately. [/p][p]The club have certainly acted on that promise, accelerating their summer recruitment plans in an effort to strengthen the squad as early as possible.[/p][p][b]Tottenham have already made significant progress for defence with the imminent arrivals of Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi, and talks are continuing over moves for Brighton defender [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/van-hecke-jan-paul/WG59HGIH/"]Jan Paul van Hecke[/a] and now [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/manchester-city/Wtn9Stg0/"]Manchester City[/a] winger [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/savinho/faynRsvT/"]Savinho[/a]. There is confidence on all fronts, sources say.[/b][/p][p]Additionally, sources indicate that Man City are already exploring alternative squad options amid increasing expectations that Savinho will leave the Etihad in the coming weeks. [/p][p]Spurs identified the Brazilian last year as a key target and continue to see him as a good option as they seek to add greater creativity and attacking threat to De Zerbi’s side. Savinho is very keen on the move.[/p][embed guid="aad662b2-4764-4c41-bad2-ea6fb02edda7" url="https://x.com/David_Ornstein/status/2062427437070229759" social-type="twitter" /][p]There is a strong determination within the club to significantly upgrade the squad during this transfer window. [/p][p]Tottenham believe they have a genuine opportunity to close the gap on the clubs that secured Champions League qualification last season, provided they can secure high-quality additions early enough to allow new signings to settle into the team before competitive action begins.[/p][p]The North London club view early business as a major advantage, with De Zerbi keen to work with his new arrivals throughout pre-season and establish tactical cohesion ahead of what is expected to be a demanding campaign.[/p][p][b]While Spurs have immediate priorities, the recruitment plans will not stop with this current push. They are also exploring the possibility of signing a central midfielder and a striker as part of a wider squad overhaul, we understand.[/b][/p][p]Spurs are showing clear intent to make this one of the most ambitious transfer windows in years.
