Tottenham set sights on signing multiple gems who can become ‘big players’
Tottenham have set their sights on signing multiple young players who can develop and turn into “big players” in the next few years.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed what sources have said about Spurs’ transfer plans.

“There will be other players too, and other areas of the squad they look to strengthen in.”
