Tottenham summer transfer window 2025: Top targets, budget, most likely signings, priority positions

Sports Mole takes a deeper dive into Tottenham Hotspur's summer 2025 transfer window, including top targets, priority positions, budget and most likely signings.

While many top-flight clubs used the window before the Club World Cup to make some early signings, Tottenham Hotspur were focused on installing Thomas Frank as Ange Postecoglou's replacement.

Despite leading the club to their first trophy in 17 years, chairman Daniel Levy made the decision to part ways with Australian manager after their dire 17th-placed Premier League finish, their worst ever in the history of the competition.

The former Brentford head-coach employs a notably different system and style to the departed boss, though it has been said that one of the reasons Frank was chosen is that the squad is considered to generally be a good fit for him.

That being said, the Dane will be keen to make some additions of his own to round out his vision for team, especially given Spurs' lacklustre defensive record in 2024-25 and the need to refresh the forward line.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at Tottenham's top targets, budget, priority positions and most likely signings in the 2025 summer transfer window.

Despite making unwanted history last season - setting a new record for the most defeats in one Premier League season without being relegated - Spurs' Champions League participation is a huge box ticked when it comes to seducing transfer targets.

However, the Lilywhites may now not land any of their three priority transfer targets up front; Antoine Semenyo has signed a new deal with Bournemouth, Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo is apparently preferring a move to Manchester United, while Arsenal are at the head of the queue for Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze.

At the other end of the Selhurst Park pitch, long-term target Marc Guehi is seemingly closer to joining Liverpool, but RB Leipzig's Castello Lukeba and Genoa's Koni de Winter have also been name-checked.

Southampton's relegation from the Premier League could also trigger a tense transfer tussle for Tyler Dibling, another attacker thought to be on Tottenham's radar and one whom they could potentially sign for around £55m if they can fend off the competition.

Spurs did their transfer kitty no favours by only finishing above the three relegated teams in the Premier League table, but Europa League glory brought with it huge financial benefits.

As well as £5m for beating Manchester United in the final, Tottenham also pocketed £16m for qualifying for the Champions League, and they were able to spend close to £150m last year without making it to Europe's top table.

While Levy has always been perceived as a frugal overseer who fails to back his managers properly, the Tottenham chairman should sanction another spending spree of around £100m to £150m.

Spurs cannot sell a Harry Kane for £90m to raise funds this summer, but the possible departures of Son Heung-min, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison, Bryan Gil and Manor Solomon - alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's permanent switch to Marseille - will boost their coffers even more.

Tottenham have already added to their ranks three times this summer, confirming that Kevin Danso's loan from Lens has been converted into a permanent deal for £21m, signing Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich following his own temporary stint, and finally bringing 18-year-old centre-back Luka Vuskovic into the fold after agreeing a deal with Hajduk Split in 2023.

Another arrival is imminent, as the Europa League winners are understood to have agreed a £5m deal for Kawasaki Frontale defender Koto Takai, who will join up with the first team right away.

Top target Eze is by no means out of reach for Spurs thanks to their Europa League victory, but the club have supposedly cooled their interest in the Englishman for an unknown reason, allowing Arsenal to move to the head of the queue.

With Mbeumo also said to have Manchester United at the top of his shortlist, Frank could do worse than to turn to his Brentford teammate Yoane Wissa, if the Bees are prepared to let him and the Cameroonian leave in the same window.

Danso and Vuskovic's arrivals have helped to reinforce an injury-hit defence, but Tottenham may find themselves needing another centre-back if Cristian Romero cannot resist the pull of Atletico Madrid, as Radu Dragusin will still be out for a few more months with his ACL problem.

Further forward, Bissouma's exit and uncertainty over Rodrigo Bentancur's contract situation could necessitate the signing of a new deep-lying midfielder; Bentancur's deal expires in 2026, but talks over an extension have reportedly been opened.

The Lilywhites have already triggered a 12-month option in Son Heung-min's deal, but the South Korean turns 33 next month, and Frank has allegedly decided that he is prepared to sell him if the right offer comes in for both club and player.

Mikey Moore is a phenomenal talent, but he will still be a teenager in 2026, so a new left-winger must also be high on Tottenham's agenda, especially as Timo Werner has now gone back to RB Leipzig after a disastrous second loan spell.
