Editorial note on market dynamics

With Eze out of reach, Tottenham have moved quickly to identify alternatives. Fabrizio Romano said internal discussions have identified Morgan Rogers of Aston Villa as a dream target, though Villa value him around £100m and are reluctant to sell. Tottenham’s summer spending already includes several signings and they are reportedly weighing a club‑record bid for Savinho to reinforce the squad. The window shows how Premier League clubs are willing to splash big sums for young attackers, a trend that could stretch budgets and test planning.

Highlights

  • Spurs chase a dream target even as prices rise
  • Arsenal pounces first and accelerates the window
  • Youth talent fuels a new wave of big fees
  • The market values youth like a currency this summer

Financial risk in Spurs transfer spree

Tottenham’s heavy spend this summer, including high price tags for targets, could strain budgets and invite scrutiny from investors and supporters if momentum slows or results lag.

The pace of deals this summer will reveal how far teams are willing to push their balance sheets.
