The transfer window is now closed and all the teams have signed a varying amount of players based on their requirements and ambitions. Tottenham are no different, and the London-based club has roped in five players to meet their needs. They were inactive for most parts of the window but got them all in a span of two weeks before the deadline day.
The names of Davinson Sanchez, Paulo Gazzaniga, Juan Foyth, Serge Aurier, and Fernando Llorente might sound less appealing to fans who are used to seeing clubs pay astronomical fees to secure the services of Neymar and Lukaku. But Daniel Levy has made a number of really shrewd signings. Let us have a look at the depth of the squad and the value these players can bring in:
In Gazzaniga, Spurs have managed to get a third-choice goalkeeper who will no doubt serve as a good backup to Hugo Lloris and Michel Vorm. They have managed to keep the spine of their defence intact, which will no doubt be a huge bonus for Tottenham.
In Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen, they have a centre-back partnership that is the envy of almost every Premier League club. Despite having lost Kyle Walker to Manchester City, they have got a decent replacement in Serge Aurier but Mauricio Pochhetino will have to handle the former PSG man properly.
In Juan Foyth, the Argentine manager has got a player from his homeland who has made a good name for himself in the South American leagues. But he will have to go through the rigours of English leagues to prove himself.
The Londoners have landed themselves a beast of nature in Davinson Sanchez, who will no doubt establish himself as a world-class commodity in a season or two. Defensively, it has been a good window for the English club.
The lack of any decent back-ups for the likes of Christian Eriksen and Victor Wanyama has angered a lot of Spurs fans, and it really is a mystery as to why the chairman Daniel Levy did not pursue midfield targets more aggressively.
While the White Hart Lane outfit still has one of the best teams in the league, their rivals, namely Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City are all much stronger than last season and any injury to the mainstays of the midfield could cause Tottenham’s season to derail. Overall, midfield is where the squad has been inadequately addressed.
Up front, the lineup looks thin but is definitely better off with the deadline day signing of Fernando Llorente. While the Spaniard is definitely not as good as he used to be, he can still provide support to Harry Kane, who has to shoulder the majority of the goal-scoring responsibilities this season once again.
All in all, I would give a B- to Spurs’ transfer window. They could have and should have done better in the offensive areas of the pitch, and it remains to be seen if they can address the issues in the winter transfer window.
