Tottenham are facing a race against time to give Roberto De Zerbi the attacking reinforcements he wants before the new Premier League season begins.

With just two weeks remaining until the campaign kicks off, Spurs are continuing to work on strengthening their forward line, with several deals under discussion as they look to accelerate their summer transfer plans.

The situation is understood to be becoming a concern, with at least one attacking signing expected to have arrived by now. The new management team are also fully aware that further additions are needed to bolster their options in the final third.

Tottenham have already made changes to both their defence and attack, but the club must now speed up its plans for the front line. Meanwhile, a potential move for Manchester City winger Savinho has emerged as one of the defining transfer sagas of their summer window.

Negotiations have been ongoing for months, but Tottenham remain determined to find a breakthrough while avoiding paying more than they believe a player is worth. Their search for attacking reinforcements, however, extends beyond that deal.

Tottenham have also been looking at other options for their forward line and, during the week, made enquiries about several high-profile attackers across Europe.

Among the players on their radar are Real Madrid youngster Endrick and Juventus star Kenan Yildiz, two of the most highly rated young talents in European football.

Spurs have also made contact regarding the availability of Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo and Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez as they continue to assess potential additions capable of making a major impact on De Zerbi’s attack.

There are further names under consideration as Tottenham face increasing pressure to strengthen their squad before the new season begins.

The club recognise that more quality is required ahead of the opening fixture, while De Zerbi is not considered the type of head coach willing to wait indefinitely as potential opportunities in the transfer market begin to disappear.

The Italian head coach is expected to demand greater urgency from the club in the coming days, with the aim of having a much stronger squad in place by the start of the new campaign.

It remains to be seen whether Spurs can complete deals for all of their top targets, but there is a clear understanding that the current squad still needs significant strengthening.

The next week could be crucial for Tottenham as they look to turn their interest in potential targets into completed signings before time runs out.
