How Tottenham could line up next season with new-look XI including Gollini, Gil and Romero but no Kane

IT'S been a busy week at Tottenham Hotspur.

Technical director Fabio Paratici was seen constantly on his phone while in attendance at Spurs' 3-0 pre-season win over Colchester on Tuesday night, as he plots the North Londoners' 'painful rebuild' this summer.




Former boss Mauricio Pochettino coined the phrase back in 2019, believing that Tottenham had to make some difficult decisions in the transfer market in order to refresh their squad and go again.

And after two years of deferring the rebuild amid a series of chaotic decisions, Spurs finally appear to be making moves that the Argentine deemed necessary in the run up to the Champions League final.

Atalanta goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini is set to be Paratici's first signing, with the Italian in London finalising his loan move.

The 26-year-old could be joined in North London by Atalanta team-mate Cristian Romero, with Spurs in advanced negotiations with the Argentine, who could sign a five-year deal.

Who partners Romero is up for debate, with Davinson Sanchez and Eric Dier linked with moves away, and Tottenham still linked with Jules Kounde, Jannik Vestergaard and Joachim Andersen.

Perhaps after his strong performances at Euro 2020 for Wales, however, Joe Rodon could stake a claim for the position, having impressed at times last term.

Spurs fans will be hoping that Nuno Espirito Santo can get more out of Sergio Reguilon, after the Spaniard faltered badly in the second half of last season.

Takehiro Tomiyasu could arrive from Bologna, with the Japanese star potentially filling a defensive-minded right-back role in N17.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg performed brilliantly for Denmark at Euro 2020 and is set to fight with talented academy graduate Oliver Skipp for a place in the starting XI.

While Copa America winner Giovani Lo Celso will hope to finally have an injury free season at Tottenham, although could face a battle with record signing Tanguy Ndombele for a place in the side.

Sevilla starlet Bryan Gil is set to sign in the coming days, with Erik Lamela moving in the opposite direction.

An exciting left-footed left winger, Spurs hope that Gil can develop into a player capable of playing centrally or cutting in from the right in a 4-2-3-1.

The 20-year-old is set to get fans' bums off seats with his mazy dribbles down the flanks.

He will be joined in attack by a hopefully rejuvenated Dele Alli, who scored against Colchester on Tuesday, and Son Heung-min – after the South Korean favourite penned a new four-year deal at White Hart Lane this morning.

Manchester City are determined to sign Harry Kane, with the Spurs striker desperate to move on this summer.

And Tottenham could look to replace the England skipper with Southampton ace Danny Ings, who is on their radar after impressing for the Saints.
