Levy readies £50m+ bid to sign "powerful" Premier League ace for Tottenham
da 888casino： Already thinking about summer reinforcements, Daniel Levy is now reportedly readying a mega £50m+ bid to sign a key attacking addition for Tottenham Hotspur in the coming months.
Tottenham's crucial transfer window
da 888： After lingering in the bottom half of the Premier League this season, Tottenham can ill-afford to get things wrong this summer. Whether Ange Postecoglou is still in charge or not, Levy must ensure that there is a squad capable of breaking back into the top six when the next campaign gets underway. Just who arrives with that in mind remains to be seen, however.
Plenty of names have already threatened to steal the headlines on that front though, including the likes of Eric Garcia and Jonathan Tah. Two defensive additions who would hand Postecoglou an instant boost and two signings who would be cost effective, Spurs should push on in pursuit of both this summer.
That said, it may be easier said than done to attract new talent if the Lilywhites fail to win the Europa League and qualify for the Champions League in the process. To that end, they’ve already taken one step into the final after a 3-1 first-leg victory over Bodo/Glimt, but may well find themselves squaring off against Manchester United in an all English final.
Postecoglou was quick to reiterate that he has full belief in his side as they look to get the job done against Bodo/Glimt next week, telling reporters in midweek: “It is not about feeling calm, like I said you just get belief (from the performance). I get that Bodo away is a difficult fixture, but so was Frankfurt away and we went there knowing we had to win to get through and I thought the lads handled it really well.

The Spurs star could be out for even longer than Ange suggested…
“I think in Europe this year we’ve been really good at managing whatever situation we’re in. We’ve had some games where AZ we lost away from home, but had to come back and showed real calm and composure to win to get through here. I think all those experiences give me the belief we can go there and get the job done.”
Levy readying £50m+ bid to sign Semenyo for Tottenham
Away from the action on the pitch, meanwhile, those in North London have already seemingly set their sights on an attacking upgrade. According to reports in Spain, Levy is now readying a bid worth €60m (£52m) to sign Antoine Semenyo for Tottenham this summer following his fantastic season at Bournemouth, a fee which ‘would be enough to convince his current club’ to sell.
At 25 years old, unlike Heung-min Son, Semenyo is at the peak of his powers and could take the Spurs captain’s place with the report saying he is seen as a player perfect for Spurs and Postecoglou, given his physical strength, ability in the press and output of 11 goals and seven assists this season.
Praised for his “powerful ambipedal ball striking” by analyst Ben Mattinson, Semenyo has certainly earned a move this summer and Spurs could offer him exactly that.
