Tottenham given £177m transfer greenlight to complete three deals this week

Tottenham can now officially confirm any new signings with the summer transfer window open as of Sunday, June 1 (today).

Spurs need to strengthen in a number of areas following on from a disastrous Premier League campaign. Winning a European cup showed that Ange Postecoglou is capable of getting results out of the current squad,

With a manager decision yet to be made, the Lilywhites are losing ground in the transfer market to their rivals. Manchester United and Liverpool have already announced their first signings with Matheus Cunha and Jeremie Frimpong joining, respectively.

Elsewhere, Liam Delap will be confirmed as Chelsea's new striker imminently and the same can be said for Arsenal and the impending arrival of Martin Zubimendi.

Despite no pursuit being fully activated, links to some potential signings have emerged with additions required in attack and defence. , Spurs will be looking at centre-backs.

Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi is one name that has been previously linked with a bid from Tottenham knocked back in the January. He is also of firm interest to Newcastle United with several offers rejected last summer.

The highest of those was £65 million but because his contract expires in 12 months, it could now be as low as £50m with the Eagles potentially feeling the need to sell so they can receive some funds from his departure.

An FA Cup triumph has seen Palace earn a spot in the Europa League but Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host Champions League football next season.

Brentford are facing the exact same dilemma with Bryan Mbeumo and Newcastle are again looking to take advantage.

As Tottenham will secure significant funds from being in the Champions League, a marquee signing could be sanctioned and there are several options on the table.

but for just a little bit more Xavi Simons can be signed.

Having missed out on qualifying for Europe, he and Benjamin Sesko appear destined to leave RB Leipzig with their asking price set at £67m (€80m).

Unsurprisingly, there is interest from other Premier League clubs but links to Spurs have grown over the last week and such an addition would be huge, regardless of Postecoglou staying or going, heading into next season. However, it is somewhat difficult to convince players to join when the manager situation is so uncertain

Therefore, Tottenham's utmost priority will be making a final decision on Postecoglou and then, assuming he stays, transfer decisions can follow. If not, appointing a replacement will be the first task with Oliver Glasner and Thomas Frank in the running and bringing in one of those could help their case for either Eze or Mbeumo.
