It’s set to be a busy few months at Tottenham as Ange Postecoglou looks to bolster his squad in his second summer transfer window as Spurs manager.
After his side’s fifth-place finish in the Premier League, Postecoglou highlighted that ‘changes’ will need to be made over the summer if they want to secure themselves regular Champions League football.
“I’ve got to change this squad,” he said at the back end of last season. “I have to because I’ve got to build a squad I think can play our football. For that to happen, there has to be exits.
“You can’t want to alter your course, quite dramatically for this club because we went down a certain direction and now we’re pivoting to a whole different direction, and expect the same people are going to be on that.
“It’s just not going to happen. We’ve had two windows and we’ve had some development of players, for sure, but when I say we’ve still got a long way to go, that’s what I’m talking about.”
With all that said, here’s who bookmaker Betfair believes are the most likely to sign for Spurs this summer…

One of Chelsea’s best players under Mauricio Pochettino, Gallagher’s ‘pure profit’ status as an academy graduate is the main reason why the Blues are thinking about letting him go for around £50-£60m. Spurs have long been interested in the star and could go for a move this summer.

Chelsea were also interested in the striker, according to reports, who returned from an eight-month ban for breaching betting regulations earlier this year.

The Everton defender is most likely to find himself playing for Manchester United next season but with Spurs in need for depth in their defensive unit, they could make a late-window swoop for the England star.

The Swedish international’s 43 goals and 15 assists in 50 matches for Sporting over the 2023/24 campaign is all that needs to be said about his prolific nature in front of goal. His huge price tag could be off-putting though which is why his odds are so high.
