Ange Postecoglou is hoping for a busy summer transfer window at Tottenham Hotspur as he continues to overhaul his squad for a big season next time around.
The Australian had made it clear that his Spurs team is far from needing only one or two key additions and that he would ideally like a new face in every department of his squad this summer. The club will have to put significant funds into their upcoming transfer window spend, backed up with shrewd data analysis to ensure they do not spend big money on expensive flops as has proved to be the case in the past.
Tottenham must continue to step forward this summer because Postecoglou has his sights set on the battle to be top of the Premier League next season.
“I hope so or why am I doing what I’m doing? That’s why I came to the club. As somebody said to me last week, ‘Just do your job Ange’, and my job is to come here and try to bring success and if you don’t think you’re going to be in the title race in 12 months’ time then I don’t know why I’m here,” said the Spurs head coach this month.
The club will know they need to fund some key signings this summer and it is also a window in which a large number of players will leave to prune a squad that is approaching a total of 40 players when everyone is available. Those departures this summer could further boost the transfer kitty available to technical director Johan Lange and his recruitment team to ensure Postecoglou gets what he needs.
Here are six players who could bolster those summer funds further and a handful of them who could add a little bit more to bring in close to £100million in all.

Bryan Gil
The Spaniard turned down a loan move to Brighton in the winter window which looks like a stranger and stranger move with each passing week. The 23-year-old has only played four minutes of football since and hasn’t even been named in the Spurs matchday squad for most of the games during that period.
However, one thing that lies in Tottenham’s favour this summer is that there is a fair amount of interest in Gil across Europe and with two years left on his contract, they do not have to let him go for a nominal amount.
With the winger still so young, any deal could be backloaded to reward Spurs for future success he might have but there is still the opportunity to recoup a decent chunk of what they spent on Gil back in 2021.
Sergio Reguilon
Another Spaniard who is not part of Postecoglou’s plans going forward. Reguilon’s spell at Manchester United will have brought attention on him again and his time at Brentford in 2024 has been a major success.
Thomas Frank’s club are expected to struggle to sign the 27-year-old as his Tottenham wages are reportedly higher than all of their players and that might be a…
