Four players Tottenham can enter pre-contract talks with right now, including one centre-back

Tottenham Hotspur’s January transfer window had its ups and downs, but the summer could offer a golden opportunity for Ange Postecoglou’s side as several top players across Europe are available for pre-contract talks. Let’s have a look at the best options available to the Lilywhites.

Tottenham Hotspur’s winter dealings and the road ahead

Tottenham Hotspur’s January transfer window was far from straightforward. The club managed to bring in Antonin Kinsky, Kevin Danso, and Mathys Tel, but despite these additions, fans were left with mixed feelings about the business done.

There is a sense that the Lilywhites could have done more, especially in strengthening key areas of the pitch where depth has been a concern.

However, with the summer window approaching, Tottenham Hotspur have a chance to enter pre-contract negotiations with some exciting players who could add real quality to Ange Postecoglou’s squad. Let’s find out who:

Six players Tottenham Hotspur can sign on a pre-contract

Jonathan David – LOSC Lille

Jonathan David has established himself as one of Europe’s most consistent strikers, enjoying a superb season for LOSC Lille. The 25-year-old Canadian forward has scored 20 goals in all competitions this season, including six in the Champions League.

David’s goal-scoring exploits have attracted attention from several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur. While signing him would be no easy task, with competition from other top sides, his expiring contract opens a window of opportunity for Spurs to make their move.

Angel Gomes – LOSC Lille

Angel Gomes, another LOSC Lille star, offers Tottenham a chance to strengthen their midfield. The 24-year-old has previous Premier League experience from his time at Manchester United, and since joining Lille in 2020, he has developed into a reliable creative force.

Gomes has featured in 13 Ligue 1 matches this season and has also contributed in the Champions League, scoring once in four appearances.

Reports suggest that Tottenham are keen on signing the midfielder, and with Tottenham Hotspur leading the race for the Englishman, a pre-contract agreement could be on the cards.

Joshua Kimmich – Bayern Munich

Joshua Kimmich is undoubtedly the standout name on this list. The Bayern Munich midfielder is known for his versatility, leadership, and wealth of experience at the highest level.

Bringing Kimmich to north London would be a statement signing for Tottenham, but it will not be easy, as the German international is likely to command high wages.

Despite the potential cost, Kimmich’s ability to play multiple roles across midfield and defence makes him an invaluable addition to any squad.

For a relatively young Tottenham side, his experience and winning mentality could prove transformative. If it is possible, then Daniel Levy, get it done!!

Jonathan Tah – Bayer Leverkusen

Tottenham were linked with several centre-backs during the winter window, including Axel Disasi and Marc Guehi, but no deal materialised. Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah could now offer a cost-effective solution.

The 27-year-old German defender has been a key player for Leverkusen this season, featuring in 35 matches, scoring twice, and helping his team keep 12 clean sheets.

With Spurs still needing defensive reinforcements, a pre-contract agreement with Tah might just be the smart move the club needs to bolster their backline.

Kyle Walker-Peters and Tyrick Mitchell

For the full-back position, Tottenham Hotspur may not be able to hold talks just yet since Kyle Walker-Peters and Tyrick Mitchell currently play in the Premier League, but both are set to become free agents this summer.

Walker-Peters, a former Tottenham player, has been linked with a return to the club, while Crystal Palace’s Tyrick Mitchell offers a more defensive-minded option on the left flank.

Both players were reportedly on Spurs’ radar during the recently concluded winter window, and with their contracts running out, they could become viable options for next season.

The opportunity Tottenham must not miss

Tottenham Hotspur’s summer transfer window could prove to be crucial as Ange Postecoglou looks to build a squad capable of challenging for major honours.

The chance to sign top-quality players on pre-contract agreements is not one the club should overlook, particularly given the financial savings and immediate impact these players could bring.

However, the club must do its part. If you want to attract the top players, you simply have to play in Europe – should the Lilywhites miss out on the UEFA Champions League next season, then landing these players will be difficult.
