Spurs target Gakpo as De Zerbi hunts winger reinforcement

De Zerbi wants to add attacking depth after investing heavily in midfield and defence. Spurs have already committed £237m this summer, including a club-record £100m for Sandro Tonali and £85m for Mateus Fernandes.

Gakpo, who has four years remaining on his Liverpool contract, would not be sold cheaply. The Dutch forward offers Arne Slot's side experience and can cover centre-forward duties—particularly useful with Hugo Ekitike sidelined by an Achilles injury.

Liverpool are themselves pursuing PSG's Bradley Barcola as a potential replacement, though the French winger carries a £145m valuation that could complicate matters. The club would want Barcola secured before sanctioning Gakpo's departure.

Spurs are also exploring alternatives. Manchester City's Savinho, the Brazilian who wants to move to Tottenham, remains on their radar, but City have no intention of selling without a bid on the table—and his recent contract extension will make him expensive.

De Zerbi has hinted at further arrivals, telling Football London that Spurs have "another bomba" lined up. He expects two or three additional signings in the coming days, with attackers the priority. The Spurs manager also confirmed discussions with captain Cristian Romero regarding his future, with Inter and Atletico Madrid circling the Argentina defender, according to skysports.com.
