What happened. Tottenham are quietly confident of signing up to three strikers, with talks advancing for Man City's Omar Marmoush and Savinho, while Cody Gakpo remains a target.
- Spurs have no interest in Nicolas Jackson or Folarin Balogun.
- All three targets would bring Premier League experience and winning mentality.
- De Zerbi's positive start last season included 11 points from seven games.
Spurs open their season at Brentford on Saturday, needing to address their forward shortage before the deadline.
