Spurs’ statement signing comes in the form of attacking midfielder Mohammed Kudus, who starts today. There may be more movement in the attacking midfield department yet, with club legend Son Heung-Min garnering interest from Los Angeles FC. There is plenty time to mitigate for his departure, as Telegraph Sport understands that Tottenham would miss out on up to 75 per cent of their payment for playing Newcastle in Seoul should Son depart the club beforehand - that match is scheduled for this Sunday.
They’re also rumoured to be planning a bid for Bayern Munich’s 30-year-old defensive midfielder Joao Palhinha, with Yves Bissmouma the man on the potential chopping block.
For Arsenal, it’s rumoured they’re looking to trigger Eberechi Eze’s £60m release clause before that clause expires, but beyond that are satisfied with the wealth of business they’ve executed thus far.
Ins:
Martin Zubimendi - £55m from Real Sociedad
