What happened. Tottenham want two or three more signings before the transfer window closes, but Premier League rules limit their ability to register new players.
- Last signing was Sandro Tonali for £92.5m plus add-ons, potentially £100m.
- Spurs broke transfer record twice, also signing Mateus Fernandes for £85m.
- Other arrivals included Jan Paul van Hecke and free transfers like Andy Robertson.
Spurs must navigate league regulations to strengthen further before the September 1 deadline.
