Tottenham are just a few weeks away from beginning their first full season under Jose Mourinho and have already made moves in the market.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has moved to north London from Southampton and the capture of Joe Hart on a free transfer provides additional experience between the sticks.
A wealth of names continue to be linked with a move to the club before the transfer window closes on October 5 and there's plenty of time left to do business.
Here, we have gathered some of the latest snippets surrounding the Lilywhites.
Ivan Rakitic push
Tottenham are 'insisting' on signing Ivan Rakitic from Barcelona and have held interest in the Croatian midfielder for a while, Mundo Deportivo via Sport Witness states.
Jose Mourinho is said to be leading his side's interest for the 32-year-old but, despite his situation in Catalonia being uncertain, it may still be difficult to conclude a deal.
Rakitic sees his deal at Barcelona expire next summer but he has repeatedly made it clear that he doesn't want to leave the Nou Camp.
On top of that, if he was to leave Barcelona then his most likely destination would be to return to Europa League winners Sevilla.
Pizzi contact
Jose Mourinho has made contact with Benfica regarding a potential deal for Pizzi but Tottenham are yet to make a formal bid, according to A Bola via Sport Witness.
It's stated that Mourinho has been made away of the potential to conclude a deal for a fee of around €20m this summer and contact has been made in order to work out how a transfer could be structured.
No formal approach for a deal has been made but it's speculated that the rumour could intensify over the course of the coming weeks.
The 30-year-old starred for Benfica last term, scoring 18 goals and contributing 14 assists in 34 league appearances.
Tomas Tavares interest
According to reports from The Sunday People (23/8; page 58), Tottenham Hotspur are showing keen interest in signing Tomas Tavares from Benfica this summer.
Spurs are said to be at the front of the queue alongside Atalanta for the highly-rated full-back, although the latter could offer Champions League football.
A new full-back is likely to arrive in north London, with Kyle Walker-Peters already moving to Southampton and Serge Aurier attracting interest from AC Milan.
