You could argue it has been a bit of a slow burner for Tottenham and Arsenal during this summer’s transfer window.
The London duo have made one standout transfer capture, with Arsenal’s new man being announced on Monday.
Video captured Riccardo Calafiori’s first words to the Arsenal squad after he joined from Italian side, Bologna.
Across north London, Tottenham’s big money transfer capture has been Archie Gray from Leeds United – Timo Werner has also returned on a season-long loan deal.
The summer transfer window will slam shut on August 30, with the new Premier League campaign also less than a month away.
Tottenham and Arsenal fans won’t have to wait too long for the first derby game of the season – the duo lock horns on September 15 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
By then, you just wonder what other new faces will be on either side because fans will be expecting a few more deals to go through before that deadline.
Ange Postecoglou still needs to bulk up his squad even further, especially with the team returning to Europe, with young guns, such as Lucas Bergvall impressing in pre-season.
But this is Tottenham’s chance to send shockwaves across the Premier League and overshadow Arsenal after they signed Calafiori.
Tottenham should look to sign Leroy Sane
Graeme Bailey has claimed that Mikel Arteta is a big fan of Leroy Sane, who enjoyed a mixed season in Bayern Munich colours last time out.
The German international is perfect for a team like Spurs, playing on either wing and causing havoc alongside captain Son Heung-min.

This is the type of signing that would prove to Spurs fans that Daniel Levy is also serious about backing Postecoglou.
Yes, fans are happy with the deals they have concluded so far under his stewardship, but you feel they can still go to the next level.
Leroy Sane in the Premier League
The 28-year-old spent several years at Manchester City, winning two Premier League titles, before moving to Bayern.
Last season, from 27 league games, he scored eight and assisted level as Munich watched Bayer Leverkusen create history and become champions of Germany for the first time.
Since returning to his homeland, Sane has been tipped to join Liverpool, but that was last summer when Jurgen Klopp was in charge.
You feel a return to the Premier League would do the player the world of good and he would thrive upon his return, so what are Spurs waiting for?
