After displaying indicators of what they’re really able to below Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham Hotspur will flip again in the direction of the summer season switch window to make sure that they flip these indicators into constant Premier League performances subsequent season. However they might need to pay a better value than anticipated to kick issues off searching for that consistency.
Tottenham switch information

The Lilywhites will lastly money in on him.
With that stated, Spurs will hope to land a cut-price deal for the previous Wolverhampton Wanderers man, particularly if Forest are relegated come Might. They already weakened them final summer season, in fact, once they welcomed Brennan Johnson in a deal that’s quietly proving to be a stable piece of enterprise by the north London membership.
While negotiations for Gibbs-White have the potential to develop into easy, Spurs do not look set to have the identical luck with regards to midfielder Ismail Yuksek. Earlier stories steered that Daniel Levy may land the Fenerbahce man for simply £17m this summer season, however Turkish coach Omer Faruk Uzuner, who labored with Yuksek at former membership Golcukspor and is believed to know the participant nicely, has since shut down that price ticket.
Uzuner believes that any membership must pay at least €25m (£21m) to signal Yuksek this summer season. He advised Turkish newspaper Takvim (through Sporx): “I believe that Ismail can go away if he receives gives from golf equipment corresponding to Actual Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester Metropolis. Fenerbahce is not going to promote him for lower than €25m.”
So not solely is the brand new value a blow for Spurs, however the truth that Uzuner didn’t title them as a membership that Fenerbahce would permit Yuksek to hitch this summer season is a priority in itself, regardless of it beforehand being claimed that the Lilywhites are enthusiastic about a summer season transfer.
Yuksek can substitute Hojbjerg
Although the midfielder appears set to price greater than initially thought, Spurs ought to proceed their pursuit of Yuksek, who can substitute Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg this summer season.

Hojbjerg has been the topic of a possible Spurs exit for a while now, with hyperlinks to the likes of Newcastle United, however a participant in his function shouldn’t be neglected. If Spurs get again into Europe this season, whether or not that be the Champions League, Europa League or Europa Convention League, squad depth would be the key. And that is the place the likes of Hojberg are available.
Because of this if he does go away, Spurs should flip their consideration in the direction of somebody like Yuksek. At 25 years previous, the defensive midfielder must be heading in the direction of his prime, making his reported £21m price ticket a discount, even whether it is greater than initially reported. As Postecoglou appears to enhance his facet, Spurs look set to be in for a busy summer season window both method.
