Tottenham might have had a good summer in the market but things could have been different had a number of big clubs got their way.
In the end, Ange Postecoglou managed to bring in a number of key players and also move some on.
That’s left Tottenham with a healthy looking squad, bolstered further by the fact they managed to keep hold of some of their best players as well.

As we know, the likes of Heung-Min Son, Destiny Udogie and Cristian Romero are all very much considered untouchables for most Spurs fans.
And thankfully for those fans, Tottenham’s board had the same response when clubs came calling for Cristian Romero this summer.
Tottenham issue hands off warning as Manchester United and Real Madrid look at Cristian Romero
According to South American journalist Gaston Edul, Tottenham did indeed receive approaches from the likes of Manchester United, PSG, and Real Madrid for Romero in the summer.
Edul has claimed via his X account that Spurs simply rejected the notion of selling Romero and even refused to put a price on him for this summer, such is their regard for the defender.
However, while that is the accepted stance for now, Edul has also claimed that Tottenham could end up fielding further enquires in the future, with Romero due to enter the final couple of years on his contract.
Tottenham need to get Romero a new deal
In an ideal world, Tottenham simply get Romero to agree to fresh terms and suddenly it means they’ve protected their asset.
If he does then go, he goes for huge money.
However, that needs to happen quickly really and Tottenham fans will be worried that this is the start of unsettling a player who is very much respected in the game for his defensive abilities.
Indeed, Ange Postecoglou has admitted to being really impressed by Romero in training lately, while Romero has also impressed for Argentina recently.
Daniel Levy, then, needs to get to work on tying Romero down to a new contract. Failure to do so will be a nightmare situation and come next summer, the race will be on.
