Tottenham Hotspur's dream XI for next season if the rumours are true - including Southampton and Crystal Palace signings
Tottenham Hotspur have the chance to bring in some new faces this summer. It has been a tough season for the London outfit in the Premier League.
They have stuck with Ange Postecoglou despite some tricky patches in form. The former Celtic man made the switch to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in 2023.

Tottenham Hotspur defensive department
Guglielmo Vicario is Spurs’ number one and is backed up by January signing Antonin Kinsky. He made the switch to England in 2023 from Empoli and has since made 58 appearances in all competitions, 18 of which have come this term.
At right-back, Pedro Porro likes to get up and down the flank and can be a threat going forward. Meanwhile, on the other side, Djed Spence is starting to find his feet and has been in decent form over recent times as he looks to keep his place in the team.
When fit, Micky van de Ven is a regular starter under Postecoglu, despite having his issues on the injury front recently. The Dutchman, 23, has a bright future ahead of him and has played 12 matches this season.

Hide AdSpurs have been linked with a move for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi. The former Chelsea man would be ideal and would boost their backline if they were able to land him later this year.
He is facing an uncertain long-term future at Selhurst Park and said this last year: “You can’t control any exterior noise. I just focus on my football and giving my best. I want to play as long as possible. If I could play to 40, great. I have stopped trying to figure out where I end up [in my career] because you can get too wrapped up in those things.”
Tottenham Hotspur’s midfield and attack
Lucas Bergvall is a bright prospect and will be eyeing as much game time as possible over the next few years. He was snapped up from Djurgården last year and has shown what he can do recently.
Spurs are said to be admirers of Southampton ace Tyler Dibling. The 19-year-old has been one of very few shining lights for the Saints in this campaign and they will face a real battle to keep hold of him as and when they are relegated back to the Championship.

Hide AdDejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min inject experience into Postecoglou’s starting XI and they will both be aiming to retain their positions in the team. However, if new faces are brought in, they are at risk of slipping out.
Jamie Gittens is believed to be a player of interest to Spurs. The winger plays for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga but is from England and may well return one day. Up top, another player who has been mentioned as a target in RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. He would add more quality to the attacking frontline if he arrived.
