Tottenham Transfer News: Every Signing Made so Far

Recruitment is not just about flashing the cash, though. Marcos Senesi arrived on a free transfer after making 128 appearances for Bournemouth. The left-footed Argentine signed an agreement before the season even wrapped up, with Spurs only needing to guarantee their Premier League survival to seal it. He takes the number five shirt and has openly stated his desire to win trophies in north London.

Andy Robertson also arrived on a free transfer. Tottenham missed out on the Liverpool fullback in January but waited patiently for his contract to expire. He is 32 now. He might not be at his absolute peak, but he brings elite leadership and will provide fierce competition for 23-year-old Destiny Udogie.

To complete the overhaul, Martin Dubravka signed from Burnley. His contract expired on 1 July, making him a cost-effective backup option. He will support Antonín Kinsky, who has signed a new five-year contract [via BBC Sport]. This clears the way for Guglielmo Vicario to leave, with heavy interest coming from Italian giants Juventus and Inter Milan [Gianluca Di Marzio on X].

How Tottenham Pulled Off Mateus Fernandes Coup

Then the spending went through the roof. Mateus Fernandes arrived for a brief club-record fee of £85m from relegated West Ham, eclipsing Dominic Solanke’s £65m move from 2024. Sporting director Johan Lange pointed to the Portuguese midfielder’s maturity and intelligence, while De Zerbi loves his courage under pressure. He takes the number 18 shirt.

Barely a day later, that transfer record was shattered again. Sandro Tonali completed a stunning £100m move from Newcastle United on 6 July. Spurs are paying £92.5m up front with £7.5m in potential add-ons – the midfielder is set to earn over £275,000 per week. Arsenal and Manchester City wanted him. He chose De Zerbi.

Newcastle made a tidy £45m profit on the player they bought from AC Milan for £55m in 2023. Tonali gives Tottenham a relentless, physical box-to-box presence, joining a deep midfield unit that already holds Fernandes, Rodrigo Bentancur, Conor Gallagher, Archie Gray, and Pape Matar Sarr.

Tottenham Transfer Targets

The hierarchy want wingers next. Rafael Leão has been offered to the club after seven years at AC Milan. He wants a new league, and Milan want between €60m and €70m (£51.3m–£59.9m) (Via GiveMeSport).

Manchester United, Arsenal, and Barcelona are monitoring the situation too. Manchester City’s Savinho is another concrete option at around £50m, though that deal is paused while the club decides on the specific profile they want.

Marcus Rashford is in that same conversation. Talks will also happen with West Ham for Crysencio Summerville once the Hammers process losing Fernandes. Finally, Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford is being eyed to join Kinsky and Dubravka in the revamped keeping department.
