Champions League or Europa League? Examining Spurs’ transfer window on a budget
As we walk into the conclusive weeks of the season, Tottenham Hotspur are already preparing their blueprint for the upcoming summer transfer window, with the club considering a couple of possible scenarios: one where they qualify for the UEFA Champions League and another where they do not qualify for the European top-tier competition.
Ange Postecoglou has a task on his hands with the Lilywhites trailing seven points to fourth-placed Aston Villa, and ideally, the North Londoners would want to bring that gap to four points following today’s London Derby against Chelsea.
As the race to the Champions League qualification is still open, Daniel Levy and Spurs officials are looking to be on the front foot in the transfer market, aiming to bolster the squad with strategic signings in either scenario.
The transfer plans at N17 include Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher and Feyenoord striker Santiago Giménez to bolster the squad in the off-season, while the club are also looking to acquire a central defender, with the likes of Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly and Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo linked with a move to White Hart Lane.
Spurs summer business and who Levy ends up bringing to North London will heavily depend on the market and whether their valuations are met. To start with, it is to be seen if Chelsea drops the price on their £50 million valuation of Gallagher, who enters into the final twelve months of his contract at Stamford Bridge.
