Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano feels Tottenham are still exploring opportunities as the transfer deadline rapidly approaches.
The North London club have done some exceptional transfer business so far. Apart from extending the loan spell of Timo Werner, they have added Dominic Solanke, Archie Gray, Wilson Odobert and Lucas Bergvall to their squad. While these signings will surely help them fight for a top-four finish, Tottenham are still in the market for opportunities as well get close to the deadline day.
Fabrizio Romano believes Spurs are not yet done and they could make further signings before the deadline if an opportunity presents itself.
While speaking on GIVEMESPORT, the Italian transfer expert said: “The deal they did with Burnley [for Odobert] was completely silent. So, I think they’re still working on something, and I’m told they’re still working on something, but there is still nothing concrete or close to being completed. But I can confirm Tottenham are still in the market for opportunities.”
Romano feels Spurs are still in the market for new signings despite having added some top players to their ranks in the ongoing transfer window. They are quietly working on potential deals just like they did when they signed Odobert from Burnley. While no deals are close to completion and nothing concrete has emerged yet, the encouraging news for Spurs fans is that their team remains active in the market for opportunities.
Destiny Udogie is expected to be their first-choice left-back under Ange Postecoglou but they are in the market for another full-back with Ben Davies on the decline. The North London club are also interested in bringing in another centre-back and have been linked with Barcelona’s Andreas Christensen who could be on the move for free because of the Catalan club’s financial situation.

Tottenham’s recent transfer dealings have garnered widespread praise, with club insider John Wenham singling out chairman Daniel Levy for his astute business acumen.
Wenham, known for his insights on the Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose, highlighted the strategic brilliance behind the transfer of 20-year-old forward Jude Soonsup-Bell, who recently left Spurs’ U21 side to join Spanish Segunda División club Córdoba CF.
The transfer of Soonsup-Bell was a free move, but Tottenham ensured they would benefit financially in the future by securing a 40 percent sell-on clause.
This means that if the young forward’s career flourishes and he is sold for a significant fee, Spurs will receive a substantial portion of the proceeds.
Wenham praised this forward-thinking decision, emphasising that Tottenham essentially signed Soonsup-Bell for nothing when they signed him from Chelsea, and have now positioned themselves to profit from any future success the player may achieve.
Soonsup-Bell showcased considerable promise during his time with Tottenham’s U21 team, where he scored 12 goals and provided 8 assists in 26 appearances across all competitions last season.
Despite his potential, Tottenham are well-stocked with emerging talent, making it a strategic decision to allow the young forward to move on while still maintaining the potential for future financial gain.
Speaking to Tottenham News, Wenham expressed his admiration for the deal, saying:
“I’m not surprised that he has left the club. Although he did magnificently well last season, Spurs basically signed him for nothing when he came from Chelsea.
“They have now ensured that if he develops into a top player, they will bank 40 per cent of any future sale. That is fantastic business from Levy and the club.
“He could soon become a La Liga player and be sold on for a sizeable fee, who knows. From Spurs’ point of view, they have several young talents coming through and it is about moving players on at the right time.”
Tottenham’s approach to the Soonsup-Bell transfer is a prime example of the club’s commitment to both player development and financial prudence.
By securing a significant sell-on clause, Spurs have ensured they remain invested in the player’s future success, a strategy that continues to impress and positions the club well for sustained success.
