Tottenham Hotspur are strategically planning its summer transfer moves following a successful winter window.
Spurs had a pretty decent January transfer window as they completed the signings of Timo Werner, Radu Dragusin early on in the window and finished it off by hijacking Barcelona’s move for Norwegian wonder kid Lucas Bergvall.
And the club’s reliable insider Paul O’Keefe has now disclosed that Spurs have identified a list of players they are targeting in the summer.
Among the targeted players, Barcelona attacker Raphinha is a notable name that has piqued the interest of the North London outfit.
Spurs have taken concrete steps by enquiring about the Brazilian winger and contacting the player’s entourage.
The list of players also includes Portuguese winger Pedro Neto from Wolves and Athletic Club’s Nico Williams.
He shared the update on X:
“Understand Barcelona attacker Raphinha is among those who interest Tottenham ahead of the next transfer window.”

Raphinha, contracted with Barcelona until June 2027, arrived from Leeds United in the summer of 2022 for a substantial fee of €58 million, signing a five-year deal.
Despite a decent start to his Barca carer with 14 goals and 19 assists in 70 appearances, the Brazilian’s future at the Catalan club has become uncertain due to increased competition.
Lamine, emerging as a strong contender, has pushed Raphinha down the pecking order.
While the player desires to stay at Barcelona, the club is reportedly open to considering offers for the talented right-winger.
Tottenham’s active pursuit of multiple wingers suggests a keen interest in bolstering their attacking options with a significant summer signing.
