Tottenham could cash in on starter this summer as condition named

Tottenham could allow a big and recent investment to leave the club this summer as they prepare for big chances at the club. Spurs are hoping to hire Robert De Zerbi overt he coming days having sacked interim boss Igor Tudor following a pretty disastrous short stint.

Tottenham are now just one point above the relegation zone and in a desperate scrap for survival along with West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Leeds United. Whether De Zerbi is willing to take the job now remains to be seen, given he would be walking into a mess with limited time to fix it, and with a relegation on the line.

But reports suggest Tottenham are hoping to seal the deal with a long-term lucrative contract and likely some big spending promises ahead of the summer. With any new boss, there are likely to be significant changes to the Tottenham squad this summer, which should come as no surprise given the performance of the team over the last two seasons.

Spurs are in need of an overhaul, and it might happen naturally, given some of the top-end players are likely to want out to go elsewhere and compete at the top end of any given table. One player Spurs could look to move on is striker Dominic Solanke, who has not lived up to his £65million fee.

Solanke has shown flashes of being a dangerous striker, but fitness and form have kept him from being a consistent performer, and this summer could provide Tottenham with the chance to make their money back if he manages to make the World Cup squad and attract admirers.

“It’s a difficult one. They’ve missed him this season due to his injury problems. He’s been a big miss,” journalist Pete O’Rourke told the Transfer Insider podcast. “He’s still a top player, and he is part of Thomas Tuchel’s England squad, where he’ll be hoping he can impress and book a ticket for the World Cup. For Tottenham, he’s under contract until 2030, so they’re under no real massive pressure to sell him under a long-term contract.

“Spurs paid big money for Solanke when they signed him from Bournemouth, it was around £65million, so they’ll be looking to recoup as much as possible. They would still be looking at top money, probably £50 million for a player who is in the England squad and again on his day as a proven Premier League striker.”
