Under Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham is on the verge of achieving greatness in North London. We say verge because they’re not quite there yet. Although second place and third place finishes are fine, if Tottenham don’t win a trophy soon, they’ll be branded as nothing more than hype.
As it stands now, Tottenham is out of the title race and out of the Champions League, leaving only the FA Cup to fight for. The same trophy Mauricio Pochettino didn’t deem as important earlier in the season. If Tottenham truly want to get to the next level, they must invest heavily in the transfer market.
Here are 5 players Tottenham should sign this summer.

The Brazilian youngster first caught the world’s attention when he was linked with a mega move to the Emirates in the summer. However, after Arsène Wenger deemed the winger too inexperienced, those dealings were abruptly cut short. But just because he wasn’t too Wenger’s liking, doesn’t mean he couldn’t excel under Pochettino.
The 21-year-old is quick, tricky, agile and most importantly, direct. In 27 league appearances, the youngster has scored 8 goals and provided 6 assists, while impressively producing 2.8 dribbles per game.
You appear to want to overload the team with attacking midfielders. We don’t need Meyer, Zaha or Forsberg. We have Alli, Eriksen, Lamela, Moura and Son for those positions already. Poch clearly fancies Malcom (not Malcolm) and if we were to sign him it could even see a departure, maybe in the form of Lamela (although he’s a Poch favourite). As for Luke Shaw he would be a big gamble and I don’t think there is a Spurs fan in the land who would take him over Sessegnon (who you don’t mention for some reason). It’s looking increasingly likely that Alderweireld will be moving on so a centre back will become a priority and Jonathan Tah would be a great addition. If I had to pick five signings they would be Tah, Sessegnon, Samoah, Malcom and Dembele from Celtic.
Asamoah (typo) from Juventus.
Out the door I can see Alderweireld, Rose, Sissoko, Llorente and a couple of the lads who are already on loan and we don’t want back.
Malcom could happen, don’t think any of the others will and wouldn’t want Shaw anyhow. Ryan Sessegnon is clearly a better choice. Younger, more talented and more versitile. He has much more potential than Shaw and less prone to injury. My personal number 1 target.
Yeah Poch has made one of his trademark phone calls to Malcom so that is probably nailed on lol. Sessegnon has to be No1 target no question.
