Tottenham Hotspur have made strengthening their defence a top priority following a difficult campaign that exposed several weaknesses at the back. The club has already taken significant steps in that direction, reportedly reaching verbal agreements to sign Liverpool veteran Andy Robertson and Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi on free transfers this June.<\/p>\n

Attention is now expected to shift towards reinforcing the attacking department, an area that was heavily affected by injuries throughout the season. Roberto De Zerbi was often forced to improvise, deploying Randal Kolo Muani on the right wing after Mohammed Kudus suffered an injury setback. However, Kolo Muani struggled to make a consistent impact in the role, and De Zerbi even resorted to using Djed Spence as a makeshift right winger during the final-day clash against Everton.<\/p>\n

With those issues in mind, Spurs are eager to add a winger capable of both creating chances and contributing goals. Backing De Zerbi with the right signings will be crucial if Tottenham are to challenge near the top of the Premier League table and narrow the gap to their rivals next season.<\/p>\n

Tottenham facing challenge in pursuit of Christos Tzolis<\/h3>\n

Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis has remained firmly on Tottenham\u2019s radar for several months. Spurs scouts closely monitored the Greek international during the recently concluded campaign, with the club previously viewing him as a possible successor to Brennan Johnson following his move to Crystal Palace during the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

Despite their interest, Tottenham were unable to secure a deal, and Tzolis went on to enjoy the most productive season of his career. The 24-year-old delivered an outstanding return of 22 goals and 29 assists in 52 appearances across all competitions, attracting interest from a number of elite clubs around Europe.<\/p>\n

However, Tottenham\u2019s hopes of signing the winger may have suffered a major setback. Tzolis has made it clear that his next move would ideally be to a club competing in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would have to be a Champions League team from England, Germany, Spain or Italy. Only PSG would be a better option than Club Brugge. The Crystal Palace train has already left the station for me,\u201d Tzolis told Belgian publication Het Nieuwsblad.<\/p>\n

Major blow for Spurs<\/h3>\n

Tzolis\u2019 comments will come as a disappointment to Tottenham, who view the Greek star as a player capable of significantly improving De Zerbi\u2019s squad. Naturally operating from the left flank, he possesses many of the qualities Spurs currently lack in attack, including direct dribbling, ball-carrying ability, creativity in tight spaces, and the vision to unlock defences with decisive passes.<\/p>\n

Having established himself as one of the standout performers in the Belgian Pro League, Tzolis would have been an ideal addition to Tottenham\u2019s attacking options. However, with Spurs set to miss out on European football next season, convincing the talented winger to move to North London appears increasingly unlikely, making any potential summer transfer a difficult proposition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
