Ange Postecoglou's next Tottenham transfer task for Daniel Levy matches Arsenal and Chelsea
Ange Postecoglou will be hoping that things start to pick up for Tottenham in the transfer market now that the club's Asia-Pacific summer tour has come to an end. Securing a 5-1 win over Lion City Sailors on Wednesday in their final match in Singapore, Spurs have two friendlies remaining on the schedule before the 2023/24 Premier League season gets underway.
As important as it is that Daniel Levy secures another couple of incomings prior to the transfer deadline, with new centre-backs most certainly topping the list of priorities, outgoings are also vital. As things stand with just over two weeks until the new term commences, Harry Winks is the only player to depart Tottenham Hotspur Stadium so far.
Perhaps waiting for Postecoglou to cast his eye over the first-team squad before any final decisions are made and players head out the door, the fact we're almost in August should start to see Spurs' transfer activity ramp up. Taking a total of 31 players to Australia, Thailand and Singapore for the summer tour, the head coach was also without a further six as they remained behind at Hotspur Way.
With captain Hugo Lloris one of those staying in north London in order to explore prospective transfer opportunities, Fraser Forster, Ryan Sessegnon, Rodrigo Bentancur, Bryan Gil and Troy Parrott were all absent through injury. That leaves Postecoglou with a total of 36 players at his disposal at present, as Josh Keeley, who was part of the club's summer tour and has trained with the first team on occasions in the past, is really classed as an Under-21 player as he played 19 games in Premier League 2 last campaign.
