Tottenham‘s representatives are set for transfer talks at a scheduled summit this week, as the club look to back manager Ange Postecoglou with the signing of a star attacker.
Spurs want more attacking signings after Werner
The Lilywhites got their first summer deal out of the way early doors, by sealing a season-long extension on Timo Werner’s loan deal from RB Leipzig
.The German, who racked up two goals and three assists over the second half of last season, originally joined on a six-month temporary deal which included the option for Spurs to make it permanent for around £15 million.
However, Levy renegotiated the terms to prolong his move to the end of next term, and the new arrangement means Tottenham now have the option to buy Werner for a cheaper £8.5 million next summer instead.
Following the 28-year-old’s confirmed involvement next term, reliable journalists like Alasdair Gold were quick to reassure supporters that Werner certainly wouldn’t be the only attacking signing which Spurs make this window.
Tottenham coped well without club-record goalscorer and ex-superstar Harry Kane last season, in their first full campaign without the talismanic forward, but it is believed Postecoglou wants to sign a world-class new striker for Spurs who can succeed the Englishman.
The likes of Ivan Toney and Alexander Isak have been linked in the past week, while another wide player has also been mooted. Crystal Palace winger Eberechi Eze is a target for the Lilywhites, according to various reports.
The £100,000-per-week forward, who was rewarded for his fine form with a call-up to Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2024 England squad, is subject to intense interest from north London.
