Tottenham Hotspur have completely dominated the opening phase of the summer transfer window, shelling out a staggering £220m in transfer fees to reshape their squad under Roberto De Zerbi.
The North London club are desperate to banish the memories of consecutive 17th place finishes, backing their new manager with the financial power to improve in 26/27.
Spurs moved quickly to secure Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United in a blockbuster £100m deal.
The recruitment department moved concurrently to land West Ham United playmaker Mateus Fernandes, alongside a big money deal for Brighton and Hove Albion central defender Jan Paul van Hecke.
De Zerbi has focused heavily on injecting proven top flight leadership and tactical maturity into a fragile dressing room culture, additionally capturing experienced left back Andrew Robertson from Liverpool, Marcos Senesi from Bournemouth, and Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dubravka on highly cost-effective deals.
Further attacking targets are being evaluated before the squad departs for overseas pre-season fixtures.
