Tottenham Hotspur enjoyed a magnificent summer transfer window where Daniel Levy not only brought in some marquee signings but also sold some highly regarded players. However, we have also seen the Lilywhites change their transfer strategy off late, where they look to bring in high-potential young players that can make an impact at White Hart Lane in the long term. 

This change in transfer policy saw the club bring in the likes of Archie Gray, Wilson Odobert, and Lucas Bergvall at N17, and they are looking to do the same in the 2025 transfer intervals as the chiefs at Hotspur Way aim to create a pipeline of young players who can grow at the club Ange Postecoglou shapes them as per his playing style.

Spurs target young striker Melia

And Spurs are looking to continue the same as they target highly-rated St. Patrick’s Athletic striker Mason Melia, with the North Londoners subject to aggressively pursuing a move for the teenager. And John Wenham, the owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose, expects the player to move to Hotspur Way in January 2026, suggesting that it would be a “complicated” transfer for the Lilywhites to complete.

The Premier League heavyweights are said to have submitted a bid on par with the £835,000 valuation of his current employers per Reptracker, and Wenham hopes that a deal can be agreed. 

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Tottenham News, Wenham said:

“By all accounts, Melia is a very good player. Unfortunately he can’t move until September, which makes things slightly more complicated because the transfer window would have already shut.

“Therefore, all Spurs can do is sign him, and then leave him on loan with St Pat’s until January 2026. However, it does sound like Spurs are pushing ahead. If there are other teams in for him, it would make sense to get the deal done.”

With an interest in another youngster, Spurs will have one of the best group young players in the English top tier.
