We are now only three days away from Tottenham Hotspur playing their first competitive game of the 2025/26 season. After some mixed results in pre-season, including a 1-0 win over Arsenal and 4-0 defeat at Bayern Munich, Spurs will be looking to win the UEFA Super Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain in Udine, Italy on Wednesday evening.
After their showdown against the Champions League holders, Thomas Frank’s side begin the new Premier League campaign at home to Burnley on Saturday afternoon. Spurs fans have made it clear throughout pre-season that the club have so much more to do in the transfer market to ensure they are ready for a big year after finishing 17th in 2024/25.
So, with the new season just days away, we have taken a look at the transfers – both incomings and outgoings – Johan Lange and Tottenham need to finalise before the transfer window closes on Monday, September 1.
New No.10
A new No.10 is on Tottenham’s shopping list for the 2025/26 season. There are a real lack of options in that area of the pitch right now with James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski both in the treatment room and the club’s move for Morgan Gibbs-White falling apart.
At present, Lucas Bergvall or Pape Matar Sarr could be set to play more advanced unless one of Mohammed Kudus or Wilson Odobert is moved into the middle. A new attacking midfielder is a priority for Spurs, with Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace the player all fans want.
New centre-back
football.london also revealed earlier in the week that Frank wants a new senior centre-back to add to his numbers for the season. It perhaps isn’t a surprise given how much football first-choice duo Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven missed last campaign.
Tottenham are well stocked there at the minute but one more addition could prove vital considering the amount of games they are going to have on the agenda across four competitions.
Son replacement
Son Heung-min is no longer a Tottenham player after this week completing a move to MLS side LAFC. The club have one huge task on their hands trying to replace the South Korean considering the amount of goals, assists and big performances he delivered regularly.
Speaking after the 4-0 humbling against Bayern Munich, Frank admitted that Tottenham will attempt to sign another winger if the right opportunity arises in the transfer market.
“Sonny was a key player for 10 seasons. He has left the club. We have both good young players in Mathys [Tel] and Wilson [Odobert] and they are really promising and can perform,” said Frank. “Brennan [Johnson] can also play that side. As I said, we are in the market. If we think we can find the right one, one who can improve the team, then he will be signed. If we can’t, then not.”
Scarlett loan
Dane Scarlett was one of three youngsters left out of Tottenham’s squad for their pre-season tour of Asia to explore a loan move elsewhere. The striker has yet to get his temporary move away from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and the hope will be that he can secure a loan switch ASAP.
The striker’s previous loan moves have not gone to plan and the academy ace really needs to hit the goal trail this term if he is to have a long-term future in N17.
Vuskovic loan
Luka Vuskovic is now officially a Tottenham player but he looks set to be playing his football elsewhere this season. The Croat has really made an impression with Radomiak Radom and Westerlo previously and a third loan move is on the cards to help aid his development even further.
football.london reported last week that the teenager has been made available for loan.
Gil exit
Bryan Gil is working his way back to fitness at present after suffering a knee injury during his loan spell with Girona. The Spaniard clearly has no future at Tottenham and the club must find a permanent transfer for him before the summer market draws to a conclusion.
The 24-year-old’s contract ends next summer and Spurs will not want to lose him for nothing.
Solomon decision
A seventh Tottenham transfer before the summer deadline could involve Manor Solomon. The winger was in sensational form for Leeds United in the Championship last season but he has not played for Spurs so far this summer due to injury.
Time may be running out for the Israel international to make his case to Frank as Spurs’ pre-season games are over and their competitive fixtures start on Wednesday when they play Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup final.
