Spurs are set to be busy in the final month of the summer transfer window

Tottenham added a fourth new signing this summer when Joao Palhinha completed a season-long loan move from Bayern Munich on Sunday evening.

The former Fulham midfielder joined Mathys Tel – also from Bayern Munich – Kota Takai and Mohammed Kudus in arriving as new recruits in the summer transfer window.

Spurs have the option to buy the 30-year-old at the end of the season for around €30million (£26.2million) and his experience will surely only be of benefit to the young players in the midfield area – Pape Matar Sarr, Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall.

But while four signings have been made, five players have also left the club. Mikey Moore became the latest, making the loan move to Rangers at the weekend. Alejo Veliz has returned to Argentina on loan to play for Rosario Central, while Sergio Reguilon, Alfie Whiteman and Fraser Forster all left at the end of their contracts.

Tottenham are not done there, though, and the final few weeks of the transfer window are likely to be busy for both incoming and outgoing transfers.

Spurs failed with a bid to sign Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest in what will go down as one of the strangest transfer sagas of the summer

And with James Maddison stretchered off with another knee injury against Newcastle in their final pre-season tour game on Sunday and Dejan Kulusevski having had surgery on his own knee injury, a new No.10 is imperative.

Given the significant move for Gibbs-White, Frank has already given the green light to sign a new No.10 and Spurs could reignite interest in Eberechi Eze, who has been heavily linked with a move to north London rivals Arsenal in recent weeks.

There are a number of senior players who should be on the way out of the club – namely Manor Solomon and Bryan Gil – but it is a number of youngsters that Frank has already made a decision on.

football.london understands that Luka Vuskovic, Jamie Donley, Will Lankshear, George Abbott, Yang Min-hyeok and Tyrese Hall have all been made available for loan, alongside Alfie Devine and Dane Scarlett.

Liverpool, Tottenham learn Rodrygo fate as Real Madrid star makes FINAL decision

Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Rodrygo, with a Spanish report revealing the decision that the Real Madrid forward has made on his future upon his return to pre-season training.

Rodrygo is a player in demand, with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur interested in the Brazil international forward. While Liverpool are looking at the 24-year-old as a replacement for Luis Diaz following the departure of the Colombia international winger to Bayern Munich, Tottenham want him to replace Son Heung-min, who has revealed that he is leaving and could be on his way to Los Angeles FC.

Sources have told TEAMtalk’s transfer correspondent, Rudy Galetti, that Madrid want €90million (£78m / $105m) in transfer fees for Rodrygo and will demand add-ons on top of that.

The Spanish media have been going strong on Tottenham’s interest in Rodrygo in recent days, with one report even claiming that the north London club have made contact with the forward’s entourage.

Madrid are back in pre-season training on Monday, with a Spanish report revealing that Rodrygo was going to hold a ‘face-to-face’ meeting with Los Blancos president Florentino Perez over his future.

AS has now reported that Rodrygo has made a decision on his future amid interest from Liverpool and Tottenham.

The Spanish publication has claimed that Rodrygo has decided ‘to stay at Real Madrid’.

The 24-year-old wants to win over Madrid manager Xabi Alonso and ‘regain’ his place in the team.

Alonso, who took over as the Madrid manager at the end of last season following the departure of Carlo Ancelotti, used Rodrygo just once in his starting line-up at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Rodrygo has scored 68 goals and given 51 assists in 270 appearances for Madrid so far in his career, while also winning LaLiga thrice and the Champions League twice.
