Borneo Samarinda Overview

For some football fans, the summer is the part of the calendar that they look forward to the most - and that's not just because it's filled by a World Cup every four years! Rather, it's because the end of the season means only one thing: It's time for transfers! The 2026 window is likely to once again be bust, with some huge names set to make big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.

Tottenham have entered the race to sign Newcastle star Sandro Tonali as Roberto De Zerbi pushes for major reinforcements after Spurs narrowly avoided relegation. The Italian coach is leading an ambitious rebuild in north London, with the midfielder emerging as a key target despite interest from several Premier League rivals.

Tottenham full-back Pedro Porro has signed a new contract ahead of the 2026-27 season, ending any hopes of a summer transfer for reported suitors Manchester City and Real Madrid. The Spaniard, who initially joined the club from Sporting CP in January 2023, has committed his future to Spurs through to 2031.

Tottenham have been told how many transfers they need to give Roberto De Zerbi complete authority over in the summer window, with Brad Friedel telling GOAL that Spurs can enjoy a “quick resurrection” back into the Premier League’s top six. Such a transformation will, however, only occur if the man in the dugout is allowed to refresh an underperforming squad as he sees fit.
