Tottenham Hotspur need new faces in the transfer market this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur favourite Glenn Hoddle has told Football.London that he’s hearing Spurs have money available to spend on new signings this summer.

Spurs will take on Liverpool in the Champions League final in Madrid next weekend, having miraculously seen off Ajax in the semi-finals.

Mauricio Pochettino has worked wonders to get this Spurs side into the Champions League final, especially with no signings for almost 18 months and his star striker, Harry Kane, out injured.

Lucas Moura, the hat-trick hero against Ajax, was Tottenham’s last signing back in January 2018, and it’s clear that Spurs need to invest in reinforcements this summer.

Some have wondered whether the new club’s new stadium has made it impossible for Spurs to fund new signings, but Hoddle doesn’t believe that to be the case.

Hoddle, a Tottenham hero, has admitted that he’s heard money has been available in the last two transfer windows, and will be available to spend again this summer too.

Hoddle added that there may be a rebuild at Spurs this summer, especially with Pochettino linked with other clubs already, and it promises to be a big transfer window for Tottenham – regardless of their Champions League final fate.

“He might just be boxing clever a bit. What I know from behind the scenes at the club there has been money available, there will be money available in the summer,” said Hoddle. “If he wins or loses, this is something he has been building and if he goes off to some of these other clubs being spoken about it’s a rebuild, instantly it’s a rebuild at a lot of clubs now,” he added.
