Tottenham Hotspur reviews summer transfer strategy amid mixed results
Summary

Tottenham Hotspur is assessing its summer transfer strategy following a busy window ahead of the 2026 season. The club focused on acquiring experienced players from the Premier League, signing ten players from English clubs. Despite significant investment, Spurs have struggled to translate these changes into success on the pitch, raising questions about their transfer approach. The average age of new signings, at 27.4, is seen as an area of concern compared to the age of outgoing players. Analysts suggest that the correlation between bringing in older players and improved performance is weak, prompting a reevaluation of future strategies.
