Tottenham want to strengthen at full-back and centre-back, as well as attacking midfield.

They’d also like better back-up for Harry Kane than what Vincent Janssen offers.

Ross Barkley, Ryan Sessegnon, Lemar, Adam Smith and Harry Maguire are among the targets - but Tottenham’s best players are coveted by wealthier clubs.

Kyle Walker is expected to complete a move to Manchester City and both Danny Rose and Eric Dier are wanted by Manchester United. Tottenham insist they do not have to sell any player but with an £800m stadium project to pay for, the club may find they have to consider big offers - especially for players who want to move.

As is his habit, Mauricio Pochettino is keen to move on fringe players. Moussa Sissoko, whose move from Newcastle last summer could potentially cost £30m wants to leave to save his chance of playing for France at the 2018 World Cup.

Georges-Kevin Nkoudou made little impact after his move from Marseille last summer and seems set to return to France. Janssen is another who may depart while Michel Vorm may also move if Spurs turn goalkeeper Pau Lopez’s loan move from Espanyol into a permanent switch.
