Tottenham are reportedly eyeing a triple raid on Fulham.

Tottenham Hotspur have gone more than a year without making a new signing, and Mauricio Pochettino’s men are expected to make moves this summer.

Spurs have impressed under Pochettino again this season, but their squad is in need of some freshening up come the summer transfer window.

Fans will understand that Spurs won’t be in the market for big-money signings this summer given the cost of the new stadium, though targeting three relegation-bound players may not be what fans had in mind.

TEAMtalk report that Spurs could move for Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic this summer after allegedly failing with a deadline day bid, and they also claim that twins Ryan and Steven Sessegnon are also wanted at Spurs.

Fulham are eight points adrift of safety and looking set for an immediate return to the Championship, with Spurs fans no doubt feeling that signing a bunch of relegated players may not be ideal for Champions League football.

However, there’s plenty to love about this potential triple swoop. As written last week, Mitrovic – who has hit 10 goals this season – would not only provide Spurs with a battering ram up top if Fernando Llorente leaves, but also a player with great link-up play and potential to improve having matured at Fulham.

Add in Ryan Sessegnon, a left wing back or left winger for the future as a Danny Rose successor and a versatile right-sided defender in his brother Steven, and these moves would set Spurs up well down the line.

Yes, fans would no doubt love the likes of Adrien Rabiot, Tanguy Ndombele and Timo Werner – players who have major Champions League experience – to be signing for Spurs this summer to take a leap forward.

Yet even if Mitrovic and the Sessegnon twins suffer relegation, it’s clear to see what Pochettino would be going for, nurturing all three to eventually become major contributors, just as he has with other Tottenham talents right now rather than signing the big names.
