Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly secured two major additions ahead of the summer rebuild under Roberto De Zerbi, with Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin now emerging as another key target.
De Zerbi successfully guided Spurs to Premier League survival on the final day of the season, with Joao Palhinha’s decisive strike against Everton ensuring the club avoided relegation after another turbulent campaign.
Following back-to-back 17th-place finishes, Tottenham are now expected to oversee one of the biggest squad overhauls in the Premier League this summer.
The club’s immediate priority appears to be adding experience, leadership and stronger personalities to the dressing room — something De Zerbi believes is essential after the struggles of the past two seasons.
According to reports, Spurs are now set to complete free-transfer deals for Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi and Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson. Both moves had reportedly been agreed in principle before the end of the season, but were dependent on Tottenham remaining in the Premier League.
Trusted journalist Ben Jacobs has since confirmed Robertson is expected to join the north London side as part of De Zerbi’s rebuild.
Tottenham are also preparing for possible changes in goal, with Guglielmo Vicario heavily linked with a return to Serie A. Inter Milan are believed to view the Italian as a replacement for Yann Sommer, while Juventus had also shown interest before shifting focus elsewhere.
Should Vicario leave, Spurs are expected to move for a new first-choice goalkeeper.
Portuguese outlet A Bola claims Benfica star Anatoliy Trubin is firmly on Tottenham’s radar. The 24-year-old Ukraine international gained widespread attention earlier this season after scoring a dramatic late goal against Real Madrid in the Champions League — a moment that helped Benfica secure progression in Europe.
Trubin’s athleticism, composure and distribution are thought to appeal strongly to De Zerbi, who is keen to reshape the squad around players capable of fitting his demanding style of football.
Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford has also been linked with Tottenham as the club continues to assess its options between the posts.
After narrowly avoiding relegation, Spurs are now moving quickly to reshape the squad — and De Zerbi’s revolution in north London appears to have already begun.
