Tottenham Hotspur could look to make two more signings after Djed Spence in the summer transfer window.

This is according to journalist Pete O’Rourke, who backed Spurs to go for another attacker and possibly a centre-back.

Tottenham have done some great business the summer window, bringing in five new recruits and closing in on a sixth.

Spence would be Spurs’ sixth summer signing after Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison and Clement Lenglet.

But with six weeks left of the window, O’Rourke believes Antonio Conte and the Spurs hierarchy may yet have more transfer plans in mind.

The journalist – writing on GiveMeSport – also felt midfield Lucas Paqueta wouldn’t be a priority, despite prior links.

“They have had an interest in Paqueta in the past, but I don’t think he’ll be a priority now,” wrote O’Rourke.

“I think they are looking at another attacker and possibly a centre-back if players do leave.”

Versatile defender Japhet Tanganga has been linked with a move away from Spurs this summer.

But speaking to football.london recently, he said: “It’s just speculation and I don’t read too much into speculation.

“My focus is I’m just happy to be back, being injury free and helping the team as much as I can and be ready when I’m called upon.”

Likewise, there have been reports suggesting Joe Rodon could be in line for a departure from N17.

Tottenham’s fellow Premier League clubs Everton and Nottingham Forest are reportedly eyeing the Wales international.
