Under Postecoglou’s leadership, Tottenham’s debut season has been marked by optimism and potential.

However, there is recognition within the club that certain areas could benefit from reinforcement. Tottenham is reportedly assembling a list of summer transfer targets, with a focus on acquiring a new forward among other potential additions.

Barcelona’s Raphinha has emerged as a prominent target for Tottenham, with reliable insider Paul O’Keefe endorsing their interest in the Brazilian winger. According to journalist Ivan San Antonio of Sport, Tottenham is prepared to offer approximately £60 million for Raphinha in the upcoming transfer window. Another unnamed club has also made a compelling offer for the player.

Raphinha, 27, has impressed with three goals and five assists in 16 La Liga appearances for Barcelona this season, showcasing his value as a dynamic attacking asset. Former pundit Graeme Souness, reflecting on Raphinha’s tenure at Leeds United, lauded the winger as an exciting and impactful player.
