Sky Sports on Tottenham Hotspur's transfer plans for the summer...
Tottenham have got to work early on rebuilding their squad for Roberto De Zerbi by signing centre-back Marcos Senesi on a free transfer, and Andy Robertson is set to join him. Spurs still want to add another defender and are pursuing Brighton's Jan Paul van Hecke.
Brighton have made a Β£30m bid for Spurs' teenage centre-back Luka Vuskovic. The 19-year-old, who established himself as one of Europe's top young defenders on loan at Hamburg, is keen to move to Brighton, but Spurs are unlikely to accept the current deal on the table.
Improving the technical quality of the squad is a priority as Spurs look to create a group capable of playing in the style of De Zerbi, who will have the final say on all transfers this summer. Finding a central midfielder who can dictate play is a key part of the plan.
Spurs have been searching for a winger to replace Heung-Min Son for a year but have so far been unsuccessful, failing with moves for Bryan Mbeumo and Antoine Semenyo. Man City's Savinho is one of the players on their list this summer.
De Zerbi also wants to bring in another striker perhaps with the ability to play across the whole front line, to give him a variety of options in case Spurs' injury crisis does not let up next season.
Spurs may also need to sign another goalkeeper if Guglielmo Vicario returns to Italy. Juventus have him on their list as they evaluate a potential transfer, while Inter were previously interested. Antonin Kinsky kept the No 1 spot for the run-in under De Zerbi.
Do not rule out a permanent move for Joao Palhinha if Spurs can agree a fee with Bayern Munich after the set option price expired after the end of the season. Spurs face potential competition for his signature from Sporting.
