The Express claim Tottenham want to make four more signings before their pre-season tour of South Korea, after agreeing a £25million fee for Yves Bissouma. The Brighton midfielder is set to become the club’s third arrival.
A wonderful bit of business from Spurs – is the signing of Bissouma. Spurs are taking advantage of his contractual situation, with his current deal ending in June 2023. It means Brighton have to get rid this summer.
Reports state that Tottenham have agreed a £25million fee with Brighton for the Mali ace, a bargain given he was considered much more expensive in previous windows. He will be the club’s third summer signing.

That is, after free agent duo Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster joined. But the latest report from the Express states that Spurs want four more after Bissouma. The first is likely to be Djed Spence, with a £20million offer on the table.
Then, they will sign a left-sided centre-back – Alessandro Bastoni and Pau Torres are options. A potential player-plus-cash deal for Richarlison, and Spurs are confident in re-signing Christian Eriksen. Seven signings in total.
Tottenham want four more signings before pre-season
Forster is a solid purchase as cover for Hugo Lloris. Perisic, while he is 33, instantly improves the starting XI. Bissouma will hand Spurs top-quality cover in midfield, possible even overtaking Rodrigo Bentancur at times.
Richarlison would be a superb addition as back-up for Harry Kane, while Bastoni or Torres would start above Ben Davies. Eriksen is the romantic move, but he is also a player Spurs really need ahead of the 22-23 season.
Spence, Richarlison, Bastoni or Torres and Eriksen after Forster, Perisic and Bissouma would be a wonderful summer for Spurs. They want all of that done by the time they begin their pre-season tour on July 13.
