Tottenham Hotspur set their sights on Lazio’s Gustav Isaksen as summer rebuild beckons
Tottenham are in dire need of a summer rebuild, having sunk to new lows in 14th place—closer to the relegation zone than the top five. With only the Europa League left to fight for, the upcoming transfer window must be a transformative one for the Lilywhites. Now, Reports from TVPlay suggest that Tottenham hold a strong interest in Danish winger Gustav Isaksen from Lazio and could make a move for him, potentially exceeding €40 million.
Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a major bid to secure the top attacking talent from Italy this summer, with a potential Liverpool sale working in their favour. If Ange Postecoglou stays on as manager beyond this season, the club plans to support him in the transfer market, with a strong emphasis on strengthening both the midfield and attacking options.
Tottenham is very interested in the Danish forward and could submit a bid of more than €40 million. Isaksen has dazzled at Lazio during the course of the season, scoring 10 goals and assisting 10 others, which would provide Spurs with a dangerous attacking threat. However, while still possible, a transfer largely depends on Lazio replacing him—which could open the door for Liverpool. Lazio has been linked with underperforming Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa, who figures to be sold this summer.
The winger is absolutely electric
The Danish winger would bring much-needed unpredictability and sharpness to Tottenham’s attack. With Spurs lacking depth in their forward line, the Lazio star emerges as an ideal signing. The 23-year-old Danish winger is versatile enough to play on both flanks but is more effective on the right, potentially putting Johnson’s place at risk. The former Nottingham Forest forward is already being linked with a surprising return to the City Ground.
Meanwhile, the prospect of playing in the Premier League could appeal to him, and Tottenham presents an enticing opportunity. He will be eager for both clubs to reach an agreement in the coming months. Isaksen made his senior international debut for Denmark in March 2024 and found the net in his third and fourth appearances during UEFA Nations League matches against Switzerland and Spain.

Isaksen’s ability to drive into the box with flair makes him an exciting prospect, and while he still needs to refine his finishing, he has the potential to develop into a more clinical attacker. With time on his side, he has ample opportunity to improve his consistency and fully realise his potential.
