Tottenham's summer transfer window has been marked by a series of bold moves, with the latest being the signing of highly-rated 21-year-old Portuguese midfielder Mateus Fernandes from West Ham for a club-record £85 million.
The deal, which was secured entirely free of add-ons or future sell-on clauses, is a significant coup for manager Roberto De Zerbi and a major statement of intent from the North London club.
Despite the impressive signing, Tottenham are far from satisfied and are actively locked in conversations with Newcastle United to sign Italian international Sandro Tonali.
Renowned transfer expert has revealed that the club remains committed to securing both Fernandes and Tonali, viewing them as separate pursuits rather than choosing between the two elite operators.
The pursuit of Tonali, however, is expected to be more challenging, with Manchester City also tracking the Newcastle star and keen on bolstering their own depth with a second midfielder addition following their record signing of Elliot Anderson.
Tottenham's audacious summer plans are a testament to the club's commitment to building a super team under De Zerbi, with significant financial backing to implement his trademark style.
The addition of Fernandes, complemented by a potential swoop for Tonali, signals a massive statement of intent from Spurs, who will no doubt be the team to watch next season.
With the club's sights set on further strengthening their engine room, fans can expect an exciting summer of transfer activity from Tottenham.
