Regardless of Tottenham's finishing position this season, club insiders are predicting a busy summer this year. Spurs are expected to be adding to their options in midfield and finding long term replacements for Pavyluchenko and Ledley King. Tottenham are also expected to make Adebayor's loan deal a permanent one.
The number one target is Marseille's Loic Remy whom Spurs put in a significant offer in for in January. Although the club are very reluctant to leave, it is understand the player is pushing for a move.
Ajax's Jan Vertonghen is Tottenham's number 1 defensive target. Spurs have held talks with Ajax in relation to the player and Vertonghen appears keen to move to Spurs.
The third target is Eden Hazard. The Lille playmaker is highly regarded and Spurs are hopeful a deal could be reached with Lille.
The three deals combined will require a significant outlay, probably in the region of £50 million. Some of this will be financed by player sales including Jenas, Bentley, Giovanni, Kranjcar, Corluka and Bassong all tipped to be leaving in the summer. There will also need to be wages to be taken into account as it is expected that Chelsea and Arsenal will also be looking to boost their squads in the summer and so competition for wages will put Tottenham under a great deal of pressure.
Spurs are however confident they will be able to fund these deals and boost their chances of competing at the top next season.
