Tottenham Hotspur welcomed four new permanent signings during the summer transfer window to strengthen Ange Postecoglou’s squad for the 2024/25 season. The standout addition was Dominic Solanke, with Archie Gray, Wilson Odobert, Lucas Bergvall, and Timo Werner also joining the club.
With nearly £150 million invested, Spurs also raised funds through player sales. Oliver Skipp, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and Giovani Lo Celso, all of whom were fringe players, departed to accommodate the new arrivals. Versatile defender Emerson Royal also moved to AC Milan.
In addition to these permanent exits, several young players, including Ashley Phillips, Jamie Donley, and Alejo Veliz, have secured loan moves for the season. Academy prospects Alfie Devine and Mikey Moore might also see first-team action, particularly in the Europa League.
The squad now appears more balanced with improved depth across the board. Postecoglou’s long-term targets, Odobert and Solanke, are expected to support key players like Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison, and Son Heung-min. The defense benefits from the addition of Radu Dragusin and the return of Djed Spence, giving Postecoglou more options at the back.
Regarding future transfers, Postecoglou mentioned, “You always plan ahead for January. These things are cyclical, and while the process is imperfect, we know there are areas to improve. Johan and his team have already begun identifying players who fit our needs, and we’ll assess their availability in January.”
For now, Postecoglou has 22 senior players to consider for the squad, with the challenge of finalizing a 25-man roster.
**Tottenham’s 25-man squad for the 2024/25 season:**
– **Goalkeepers:** Guglielmo Vicario, Fraser Forster, Brandon Austin.
