Tottenham transfer targets summer 2024: Postecoglou keen for attacking firepower

For a long time now, Daniel Levy has been labelled as a chairman who looks for cheaper options and doesn't like splashing the cash in the transfer market.

Since Ange Postecoglou walked through the doors at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, things have been very different, with the Australian being handed a sizable transfer budget. And although Spurs missed out on Champions League football for the upcoming season, that hasn't stopped the rumours linking Tottenham with a host of top-class players.

Tottenham transfer targets – latest rumours

It remains to be seen what Spurs' big priority is to improve in the remainder of the summer transfer window after already signing a few players, but another centre-back and midfielder seem to be the type of players that Tottenham are targeting.

Morgan Gibbs-White

Spurs continue to search for fresh faces in the midfield, and Gibbs-White would fit the bill perfectly since he can play as an attacking midfielder or as a winger. However, it will be difficult for Spurs to get Nottingham Forest to sign one of their key players, who started the new season well.

That being said, a big enough bid could potentially sway Forest into selling the Englishman, which, according to some reports, would have to be way over Gibbs-White's estimated transfer value of €40m.

Manuel Locatelli

Tottenham are open to making a move for the Italy international who's currently at Juventus, although we haven't heard much about any concrete movement since we first heard about the possibility of a transfer two weeks ago.

That being said, Spurs are still looking for another midfield option, and things could turn around quickly if the two teams can agree on a fee, which could reportedly be around £20m.

Joao Gomes

The latest speculation about Spurs is that they're interested in Wolverhampton's Brazilian star and according to some reports, Wolves have already responded by saying that it would take a huge bid for them to consider selling Joao Gomes.

The Brazilian has an estimated transfer market value of around €35m, so it remains to be seen whether Spurs can match Wolves' expectations on what is a huge bid and bring the midfielder to London.
