Tottenham is prioritizing strengthening their defense by finding a new goalkeeper and bringing in two center-backs. David Raya from Brentford is the top candidate for goalkeeper, but the club may need to consider other options if Brentford does not lower their asking price of £40 million. The team is also searching for experienced and young center-backs who can play crisply under pressure and have the ability to play a higher line. Offloading current defenders may be challenging due to their high wages, but the team may offer Eric Dier a new contract to avoid losing him for free next summer. The team is also in search of a central attacking midfielder who can play in both a 4-3-3 and a 4-2-3-1 and a young winger. Potential signings under new manager Nuno Espirito Santo include James Maddison from Leicester City.

00:00:00 In this section, journalist Alistair Gold talks about Tottenham's transfer plans for the upcoming window. The priority for the club is to improve the defense, and they are looking for a new goalkeeper to replace long-time keeper Hugo Lloris. Lloris has expressed the desire to seek a new challenge, so Tottenham is now in a position to find his replacement. The defense was one of the weakest areas for Tottenham last season, conceding 63 goals in the Premier League, and new manager Nuno Espirito Santo is prioritizing shoring up the backline. While there is interest in midfielders and wingers such as James Maddison, the focus is on improving the defense first and foremost.
00:05:00 In this section, the article talks about Tottenham's potential new goalkeeper, David Raya, who is top among the candidates to be a successor to Hugo Lloris. Raya is 27 years old and has had a successful season at Brentford, making him an ideal fit for a Postecoglou goalkeeper due to his excellent shot-stopping ability and passing skills. Postecoglou's team aims to quickly cycle up the pitch with little hesitation and build up possession from the back with constant movement, making Raya a good fit with his ability to play on a higher line and sweep up behind the defense. However, the issue with Raya is that Brentford is reportedly asking for a £40 million fee for him, which may be too steep for Tottenham.
00:10:00 In this section, the speaker discusses Tottenham's pursuit of David Raya and the various alternatives they have if Brentford sticks to their asking price. While Raya is the perfect option for Spurs, other goalkeepers like Valencia's Georgie Mama and Milan's Mike Magnum are available but would cost more. If Brentford is not willing to let Raya leave at Spurs' price, the club could look at other alternatives like Jordan Pickford, Dean Henderson from United, or Brighton's Robert Sanchez. The speaker also notes that Raya's international obligation may mean he is willing to come to Spurs earlier in their preseason preparations. However, the final decision lies with Brentford.
00:15:00 In this section, the YouTuber discusses Tottenham's need for two center-backs, but notes that the team has not been able to offload players to create space for new ones. He mentions that they are looking for a mix of an experienced and young center-back and notes that whoever they bring in should be able to play crisply under pressure, be strong in duels, and have the ability to play a higher line. The YouTuber reiterates that Spurs need to sell their current defenders before purchasing new ones.
00:20:00 In this section, the speaker discusses Tottenham Hotspur's struggles with selling players due to their high wages, which often causes players to be hesitant towards moves elsewhere, including on loan deals where Spurs have to make up a substantial portion of their salaries. They mention the potential departures of Davinson Sanchez and Eric Dier and suggest that Spurs may offer Dier a new contract to avoid losing him for free next summer and to protect the value of an asset, even though it might not be a popular decision among fans. The speaker also acknowledges that while Dier has faced criticism, he could still be a valuable asset to the right club.
00:25:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the potential transfer of Tottenham's center-backs Eric Dier, Joe Rodon, and Japhet Tanganga. Dier's passing and anticipation may not work well in a Postecoglou system, and he is not likely to be a guaranteed starter next season, even if he stays with the club. Rodon may move on for regular football, while Tanganga's versatility and ability to play in different positions may make him a valuable asset. The speaker is skeptical that all four center-backs, other than Christian Romero, will leave the club and suggests trusting the new manager's views on the players.
00:30:00 In this section, the speaker discusses Tottenham's search for new defenders and their shift towards using data analytics in decision making. While Spurs are reportedly interested in crystal palace defender Mark Guihi, his impressive performance has attracted attention from other top clubs and he may not be available for a reasonable price. Other potential targets include Max Kilman, who has played well under Julian La Patagu at Wolves, and potentially Amartey Laporte, who may be available if Barcelona decides not to pursue him. The speaker suggests that Tottenham may need to sign a big, experienced defender to make a statement and complement it with a younger up-and-comer who can become a star.
00:35:00 In this section, the speaker discusses Tottenham's past transfer targets and some of the players who could potentially fill gaps in the current squad. Alessandro Bastoni and Dayot Upamecano were mentioned as past targets who are potentially out of reach, while Edmund Tapsoba, Joško Gvardiol, and Ilya Zabarnyi were suggested as potential options. The possibility of bringing back Clement Lenglet was also discussed, as the player's loan deal has ended, but there is no option to buy. It was noted that Barcelona might be interested in selling him for as low as 4-5 million, but it is unclear if the rumors are true.
00:40:00 In this section, the journalist discusses the potential transfer of Cameron Carter Vickers and how he has developed well since his Tottenham Hotspur days. He explains that although he was raw when he was at Spurs and had to go out on multiple loans, he is now a solid player who adapted well to the Postecoglou system while he was at Celtic. Spurs have let him go for a deal worth around six million pounds, and the journalist believes that he could play in the Premier League again within the next two years. Additionally, the journalist discusses two notable center-backs in the Spurs academy, Alfie Dorrington and Maxim Paskotsi, who may have a chance to impress during preseason.
00:45:00 In this section of the video, the presenters discuss Tottenham's possible transfer plans and focus on the fullback positions. The team may not be looking to sign any new fullbacks unless there is a great deal available. However, Emerson Royale and Sergio Reguilon, who is currently underutilized, could provide options for the right and left-back roles respectively. They mention Ben Davies and Jed Spence as additional fallback options. Despite criticisms of Davies, the presenters feel that he provides a consistent option and is well-liked by different managers. Finally, Ryan Sessegnon is reportedly fully fit and motivated to impress the new manager in preseason.
00:50:00 In this section, the speaker discusses Tottenham's potential transfer plans for the upcoming season. They mention that the team is in need of a new central attacking midfielder who can operate in both a 4-3-3 and a 4-2-3-1, as well as a young winger. Additionally, they touch on the futures of various players such as Sergio Reguilon and Erik Lamela, who are likely to depart. The team's defense is also a top priority, and they have many players who can play the pivot role, including Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, whose contract is coming to an end. Bayern Munich is one of the clubs interested in him, and Spurs could get reasonable money for his transfer.
00:55:00 In this section, the transcript excerpt discusses Tottenham midfielder, Harry Winks, and his potential departure from the team. While he had some "iffy games" last season, the speaker acknowledges that he contributes positively to the team and has a knack for the "dark arts" on the pitch. Ultimately, the decision regarding Winks' future at the club lies with the protocol group. The excerpt also covers potential signings under new manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, including Leicester City's James Maddison, who the speaker believes has "bundles of potential" and could be a "terrific player" for Tottenham. Finally, the excerpt briefly mentions the recent signing of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and the potential inclusion of young player Alfie Devine on the tour heading to Australia and Asia.

01:00:00 - 01:30:00

The search for an attacking midfielder who can play in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation is a priority for Tottenham, with James Maddison being a prime target due to his impressive numbers. Tottenham is also interested in Alex Scott from Bristol City, but competition for him is expected to be stiff. Tottenham is looking for a young winger like Brian Hill to complement their current forward players, and Harvey Barnes, Madison, or Raya are all possible targets. The focus is also on the potential transfer of Harry Kane, with Real Madrid not appearing to match the desired figure for him. Tottenham has strong options in terms of strikers, including Richarlison and Son. The hope is that Tottenham can secure early transfers for Madison and Raya to lay the foundation for Postecoglou's system.

01:00:00 In this section, the speaker discusses Tottenham's search for an attacking midfielder who can play in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation, with James Maddison being a prime target. Maddison, who has previously been linked with Spurs, is represented by the same agency as manager Antonio Conte and several Tottenham players, making the move potentially easier. Though Newcastle is also interested in Maddison, the appeal of playing in London and potentially linking up with Harry Kane could sway the midfielder towards Tottenham. Despite having 12 months left on his contract, Maddison's impressive numbers warrant a decent transfer fee if Tottenham were to pursue him.
01:05:00 In this section, the talk is on Tottenham's transfer plans and James Maddison as a potential target. Although Maddison would be playing in the Championship if he left Leicester City, there is still a real interest in him. Tottenham is also interested in Alex Scott, a young midfielder from Bristol City, who could play across the midfield. The competition for him, however, could be quite intense. Other returning players like Tanguy Ndombele might also be on the move, but it remains to be seen what will happen during pre-season. As for Harvey White, he is a young player who might push through.
01:10:00 In this section, it is discussed that Tottenham is looking for a young winger like Brian Hill to complement their other forward players, such as Son, Kane, Richardson, and Kudosovski. They also need to replace Lucas and Danjuma, so the team needs new young talent on attack. Harvey Barnes, Madison, and Raya are possible players of interest. However, it is unsure if Tottenham had already made a £50 million bid for two of these players. Lastly, if Kane stays with the team, there is no need for another striker unless they have a young winger who can also play upfront like Dan Juma.
01:15:00 In this section, the focus is on the potential transfer of Harry Kane. While Real Madrid could be a good option for Kane, there doesn't appear to be much indication that they are looking to match the figure that Spurs would want for him. In the meantime, Tottenham has plenty of options in terms of strikers, with Kane, Richarlison and Son all capable of playing through the center effectively. As for the younger players, it's likely that Parrott and Scarlett will join the team for the summer tour, with Parrott possibly pushing for more minutes with the team and Scarlett perhaps going out on loan again. Overall, the hope is that Tottenham can secure transfers for Raya and Madison early on to lay the foundation for Postecoglou's system.
01:20:00 In this section, it's mentioned that some Tottenham players, like Doherty, have a busy summer schedule as they participate in the Euros and then head shortly afterwards to Australia for a pre-season tour. Mikey Moore, a 15-year-old academy player, has just signed a contract with the club, signaling potential hope for other emerging players, while Niall John and Matthew Craig are still deciding on their futures. Additionally, Sonny has revealed that he had a sports hernia injury that required surgery, keeping him out of some matches.
01:25:00 In this section, the speaker discusses Tottenham player Son Heung-min's injury and recovery timeline. While he won't start the next game, he is expected to be back in roughly three to four weeks. The speaker also touches on Tottenham's upcoming fixtures, including a match against Manchester United on August 19th, and the first North London derby on September 23rd. The absence of European trips this year means lots of intense domestic travel. Overall, the speaker is excited about the upcoming season and looking forward to seeing how players adapt to new coach Posteclou.
01:30:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the excitement of seeing manager Antonio Postecoglou implement his style of play at Tottenham and the potential for both great football and rocky results. He also mentions the importance of new signings, including a goalkeeper, two center-backs, a central attacking midfielder who can play in different systems, and preferably a young winger. The speaker ends the video with Harry Kane successfully scoring a penalty, adding a bit of humor to the discussion.
