Tottenham Hotspur will get the chance to bring in some new players this summer

Tottenham Hotspur have a rather unexpected European final to look forward to later this month. Ange Postecoglou’s side will face Manchester United in the Europa League final in Bilbao. They saw off Bodo/Glimt in the semi-finals over two legs to book their place in Spain, pushing the horrors of their Premier League campaign to one side and motoring their way to within touching distance of their first major trophy since Dominic Solanke was in short trousers.

It has been a relentlessly gruelling season for the London outfit in the Premier League. They were also knocked out of the Carabao Cup and FA Cup. Nevertheless, there is light at the end of the tunnel and they will end their trophy drought if they can see off Ruben Amorim’s men. Here is a look at three players they could sign this summer...

Tottenham Hotspur eye Marcus Rashford move

If Spurs win the Europa League, they will, inexplicably to Arsene Wenger for one, be in the Champions League next season. That will boost their chances of signing some high quality players in the next window, with both the allure of premium European football and the mega funds that come from playing in it combining as the perfect cocktail to ensure a fruitful summer of transfer dealing. With that in mind, Marcus Rashford could be an option for them.

Football Transfers have claimed that he is on their radar at the moment. The England international, 27, is on loan at Aston Villa right now from Manchester United and the report suggests they have an option to sign him for £40 million. However, it remains to be seen whether they will, with Villa still to tie up qualification for the aforementioned elite European football competition.

Rashford, who is from Wythenshawe, has fallen out of favour at Old Trafford and it is unlikely that he will return to the Red Devils. That could open the door for other teams to swoop in for his signature over the coming months. With that in mind, Spurs should attempt to snap him up to significantly boost their attacking ranks.

Will Spurs sign Liam Delap this summer?

As well as Rashford, Spurs should also look to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich Town. As per GiveMeSport, he has emerged on Postecoglou’s wishlist - along with every other Premier League club and their dog - after his impressive campaign at Portman Road. He has a release clause of just £30million which makes it a no-brainer to try and get him.

At the age of 22, he has bags of potential and has a bright future ahead of him. He has scored 12 goals for Kieran McKenna’s men and has stood out in a struggling team. They brought him in just over 12 months after their promotion from the Championship.

Delap was on the books at Manchester City before his switch to Suffolk and scored one goal in six games under Pep Guardiola. He was also loaned out to Preston North End, Stoke City and Hull City to get some experience under his belt. The attacker was a hit with the latter last term before Ipswich came calling. He just might be the Harry Kane successor that both Tottenham and England have been dreaming of.

Tottenham set sights on AFC Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen

Dean Huijsen has made a positive impression since AFC Bournemouth moved to sign him. He has adapted well to life in England and the Cherries are likely to face a battle to keep hold of him, despite the fact he still has plenty of time left on his deal. It is yet to be known at this stage where he could end up going next and there are a few teams in the frame.

Football Insider claim Spurs are one of them and he would be perfect. He would give Postecoglou another option to pick from at the back. They have leaked too many goals in the league this term and need to add more cover at the back, as the Tottenham defence under Postecoglu tend to go through hamstrings as if they were disposable cutlery.

Huijsen has a release clause of £50million which could turn out to be a steal in the future. At the age of 20, he is only going to get better. Prior to going to Bournemouth, he played for Malaga and Juventus and also had a loan spell at Roma in Serie A. Signing him won’t be easy, but landing Huijsen, along with Rashford and Delap, would make Spurs an altogether more formidable beast ahead of the 2025/26 season.
