Tottenham Hotspur draw up shortlist of six ambitious ‘statement’ transfer targets for 2026
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly planning to make major signings across the next few transfer windows, with several high-profile European stars now on their radar.
Following recent changes to the club’s leadership structure, reports suggest that ENIC are ready to revamp Spurs’ transfer approach by targeting established, top-tier players rather than long-term projects. It’s also believed that the club’s hierarchy may lift their self-imposed wage cap to help attract big-name signings.
According to various sources, Tottenham have begun identifying elite targets, and a new report has outlined the calibre of players they’re pursuing.
Four major strikers targeted
TEAMtalk reports that Spurs are determined to bring in a new forward in January and are prepared to invest heavily if the right opportunity arises. The club is said to be exploring several attacking options, having already made enquiries about Brentford’s Ivan Toney, who is considered a strong fit for Thomas Frank’s style of play.
Spurs also tracking Premier League wingers
However, the same outlet notes that Tottenham could prioritise signing a wide attacker over a traditional striker in the upcoming window. A final decision will be made closer to January, but the club has already compiled a shortlist of potential additions.
Among those being monitored are Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye and Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo — both viewed as dynamic, versatile players capable of injecting energy and creativity into Spurs’ frontline.
