Tottenham Hotspur confident they have verbal agreements with Sandro Tonali and Matheus Fernandes as two other signings planned | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have signed four players this summer and still want to add two midfielders and two forwards to manager Roberto De Zerbi’s squad, according to The Times.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club have signed Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson, Jan Paul van Hecke and Martin Dubravka, and more additions are on the cards.

Spurs have already identified the two midfielders they want and a left winger is desired.

Tottenham are confident they already have verbal agreements with Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali and West Ham United’s Matheus Fernandes to join them.

However, agreeing transfer fees with both clubs could prove tricky.

Newcastle have already rejected a bid of £75 million from Spurs as they value Tonali at about £100m.

West Ham want about £80m for Fernandes and have insisted that no suitors have matched their demands.

The Lilywhites have seen Newcastle turn down their second approach for Tonali and it remains to be seen whether they have plans to return with an improved bid closer to what the Magpies want.

De Zerbi claimed on the final day of last season that Tottenham only have 12 players good enough to stay beyond this summer.

He has signed four players so far and wants to add four more players to his squad.

Spurs have given Pedro Porro and Ben Davies new deals, while talks are ongoing to hand Antonin Kinsky a new five-year contract.

They are also hoping Micky van de Ven will sign a new deal this summer despite his current contract not expiring until 2029.

Securing a place in the Champions League at the end of next season is the target for Tottenham, and De Zerbi will aim to build a squad capable of finishing in the top-five.
