Tottenham could join Arsenal in race for £100m star with Man United deal “on hold”

Tottenham’s summer recruitment drive is continuing at full speed, with the club already making significant additions while pursuing several more high-profile targets.

It has been a productive few weeks for Spurs as preparations for the new season gather momentum.

The first major arrival was Andy Robertson, with Tottenham moving decisively to secure one of the Premier League’s most experienced full-backs.

The Scotland captain brings leadership, top-level experience and a winning mentality to north London after years of success at Liverpool.

Rather than focusing solely on young prospects like in years gone by, Tottenham have shown they are also willing to recruit proven performers capable of making an immediate impact.

Robertson’s arrival strengthens a key area of the squad and adds valuable experience to the dressing room.

That move was quickly followed by another defensive addition.

Indeed, Marcos Senesi has also officially completed a switch to Tottenham after leaving Bournemouth.

The Argentine defender arrives with extensive Premier League experience and is expected to provide quality depth at the heart of the defence.

However, Spurs are not stopping there.

The club remain in talks over a deal for Brighton centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke, who continues to be one of their priority targets. Brighton have already rejected multiple offers, but Tottenham are rumoured to be encouraged by the player’s desire to make the move.

There is also ongoing interest in Man City winger Savinho.

The Brazilian has been linked with a move to north London throughout the week as Spurs explore ways of adding more pace and creativity to their attack.

His ability to play on either flank would provide another exciting option in the final third.

Taken together, the activity highlights Tottenham’s ambition.

The club are looking to strengthen several areas of the squad and appear determined to give their manager the tools needed to put their miserable 25/26 behind them.

Tottenham could join race for Newcastle star Sandro Tonali

According to Sky Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Tottenham could now enter the race for Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali.

The Italian reporter was discussing Man United’s search for another midfielder following their signing of Ederson from Atalanta.

While Tonali remains on United’s radar, Di Marzio suggested the situation is no longer as advanced as it was earlier in the summer, with a deal for him now ‘on hold’.

Di Marzio, speaking to Rekatochklart, specifically named both Arsenal and Tottenham as teams who could potentially become involved if the opportunity arises.

For Spurs, it would certainly be an eye-catching move.

Tonali has rebuilt his reputation since returning to action and remains one of the most highly regarded midfielders in Europe. His combination of technical quality, work rate and tactical intelligence would make him an attractive addition for almost any elite club.

The 26-year-old also possesses proven Premier League pedigree from his time at Newcastle.

Whether Tottenham are actively working on a deal remains unclear.

At this stage, the update appears to be more about potential interest than advanced negotiations. However, Di Marzio’s comments suggest Spurs could be keeping a close watch on developments.

Much will depend on Newcastle’s position and whether Tonali himself is open to considering a move to N17, not to mention his reported price tag of around £100 million.

For now, Spurs supporters can take encouragement from the club’s ambitious summer strategy.
