Four players tipped to join Tottenham when Paratici resumes work

Tottenham is closing in on making Fabio Paratici their director of football as they prepare for the new season.

Spurs have been struggling in the last few campaigns and they were keen to get back inside the top four in the last campaign with Jose Mourinho at the helm.

Despite signing the likes of Sergio Reguilon, Matt Doherty and Gareth Bale, they finished outside the top six.

They are looking to restructure the club and they have moved to make Paratici their new sporting director after his hugely successful spell at Juventus previous to last season.

He is expected to become the head of player sales and recruitment and The Express has now named the players who could join the club when he resumes work.

The report says he should pursue a deal for Lille’s Zeki Celik as it appears almost certain that Serge Aurier will leave the club in the summer.

It also tipped them to move for Danny Ings as the replacement for Harry Kane, who has asked to leave the club again.

The Englishman is having a contract standoff with Southampton and it may be because he wants to leave them.

The report also mentioned Wilfried Zaha claiming that Spurs fancy him to play on the opposite flank to Son Heung-min.

The report then adds that Spurs are considering a move for Dean Henderson and Paratici could sign him as the long-term replacement for Hugo Lloris.
