Tottenham not expecting a busy transfer deadline day
Tottenham Hotspur have enjoyed a busy transfer window, making several exciting signings as well as offloading the bulk of deadwood.
Dominic Solanke has joined from Bournemouth as the club’s marquee signing, hoping to fill the massive void left by Harry Kane last summer. The likes of Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray, Timo Werner, Yang Min-hyuk and Wilson Odobert have also been added to Big Ange’s squad—young players with high ceiling.
On the outgoings front, Spurs have released, sold and loaned out players who were surplus to requirements for Big Ange, who aims to build on a solid first season in north London.

Tottenham continue to be linked with players heading into the transfer deadline. Now, Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge has given an update on what he knows about the North London club’s transfer activity on the final day of the window. While a last-minute transfer cannot be ruled out, he says the club are expected to remain inactive on August 30.
“I think with Tottenham, you never say never. But my understanding is not to expect a busy deadline day in terms of incomings. They wanted an out-and-out striker, Postecoglou wanted Solanke, they got Solanke. I think they’ve been really impressive,” Michael Bridge exclusively told GIVEMESPORT.
“What they’ve seen of Archie Gray so far, we also know that Odobert came out of nowhere, but he’s another option. He gives Spurs something a little bit different in the wide areas.”
Bridge’s update comes as a bit contrasting to what transfer news guru Fabrizio Romano opined earlier this week about Tottenham’s transfer activity. On one hand, the Lilywhites remain keen to offload Giovani Lo Celso and Sergio Reguilon—two players not part of Big Ange’s plans. On the other, Romano felt there was a possibility for a late signing or two.
Nonetheless, whatever happens on the transfer deadline day, Spurs fans should be delighted with how the club has conducted themselves over the transfer window. Daniel Levy and Co. have done some great business this summer, and very importantly, have addressed most of the pressing needs of the squad.
Now, having entered the final day of the window, our club can stay calm and not rush on any last-minute dealings. Of course, if the opportunity arises they could pounce on it but Bridge has told the fans not to expect an active finale.

Having pulled off the Odobert deal out of nowhere, there will be a temptation from the fans to see our club pluck another player off the radar and surprise everyone.
