Dejan Kulusevski

Kulusevski has been an important player for Spurs over the past 12 months. Hence, it is no surprise that Tottenham decided to get him on board permanently in a €30m deal this summer.

Guglielmo Vicario

Vicario signed for Tottenham to become their first-choice keeper earlier this year. He has made a strong start to this Premier League campaign and could be in line to have an impressive debut season in English football.

Alejo Veliz

Spurs opted to sign Veliz from Rosario Central earlier this summer. He is now hoping to fight for a regular first-team spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season.

Tottenham did well to move quickly and sign Solomon on a free transfer this year. He has been a positive influence as a substitute at the London club so far.

Did Tottenham Boss Angelos Postecoglu Make The Right Calls In This Transfer Window?

Postecoglu has added some quality to his attack in the form of Brennan Johnson and James Maddison. He has also signed Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski permanently this summer.

Even though the Tottenham boss has lost Harry Kane to Bayern Munich, he has made some key acquisitions such as Micky van de Ven and Guglielmo Vicario which could help Spurs compete for a top-four spot in the Premier League this season.
