Eli Junior Kroupi leads the list of targets for Tottenham Hotspur as they pursue a left forward, aiming to make significant upgrades during one of the most ambitious spending windows in the Premier League's history.

Manager Roberto De Zerbi seeks to finalize all major signings ahead of pre-season, backed by a new football leadership eager to invest in a team needing a comprehensive overhaul.

Key developments include:

• Manuel Fernandes from West Ham United and Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United are already set to join, with a combined cost nearing £185m for the midfield duo.
• Spurs are particularly focused on acquiring a left forward, with Kroupi at the top of their shortlist, although competition is fierce from clubs like Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain.
• The asking price for the 20-year-old Bournemouth star exceeds £80m.

Despite the competition, Tottenham is prepared to invest heavily to avoid a repeat of the last two seasons, which saw them dangerously close to relegation, even after winning the Europa League.

Other potential targets include:

• Rafael Leao from Milan, discussed informally.
• Savinho, previously targeted from Manchester City.
• James Trafford, with ongoing negotiations with Manchester City.

Tottenham anticipates up to three more signings, possibly including a striker to enhance their options beyond Richarlison and Dominic Solanke. Recent additions include Jan Paul Van Hecke from Brighton for £52m, along with free transfers for Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, and Martin Dubravka.

If all targeted players arrive, Spurs could see their expenditure reach approximately £350m, marking one of the largest spending windows in club history.
