Tottenham have been among the most active clubs in the 2026 summer window, adding senior quality across the pitch while moving a string of younger players on. Here is the confirmed business to date, with what each side of the ledger tells us. The window stays open until September, so this is a picture of the summer so far rather than the final word.
Tottenham signings — summer 2026
| Player | From | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Sandro Tonali | Newcastle United | Permanent |
| Mateus Fernandes | West Ham United | Permanent |
| Jan Paul van Hecke | Brighton & Hove Albion | Permanent |
| Andrew Robertson | Liverpool | Free transfer |
| Marcos Senesi | AFC Bournemouth | Free transfer |
| Martin Dúbravka | Burnley | Free transfer |
| Will Lankshear | Tottenham U21 | Academy promotion |
The headline is a rebuilt midfield and defence. Sandro Tonali arrives from Newcastle United as the marquee signing, with Mateus Fernandes joining from West Ham United to add further depth in the middle. At the back, Jan Paul van Hecke comes in from Brighton & Hove Albion, alongside free transfers for Andrew Robertson from Liverpool and Marcos Senesi from AFC Bournemouth. Martin Dúbravka arrives on a free from Burnley as a goalkeeping option, while Will Lankshear steps up from the Under-21s.
Six senior additions for a side under De Zerbi points to a genuine reshaping of the first team rather than fine-tuning.
Tottenham departures — summer 2026
| Player | To | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Luka Vušković | Brighton & Hove Albion | Permanent |
| Will Lankshear | Middlesbrough | Permanent |
| Alejo Véliz | EC Bahia | Permanent |
| Alfie Devine | Preston North End | Permanent |
| Radu Drăgușin | Fiorentina | Loan |
| Yves Bissouma | Without club | Departed |
The exits are mostly younger players moving on for regular football. Luka Vušković joins Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer's biggest outgoing, while Will Lankshear — promoted from the Under-21s on paper — completes a permanent move to Middlesbrough. Alejo Véliz heads to EC Bahia in Brazil and Alfie Devine to Preston North End, both permanently.
Elsewhere, Radu Drăgușin joins Fiorentina on loan, and Yves Bissouma has departed, removing a familiar name from the midfield rotation.
What it means for the season ahead
This is one of the busier windows in the division: a substantial senior intake led by Tonali, van Hecke and Robertson, set against a clear-out of squad and Academy players. The Premier League season opens away at Brentford on 22 August, with the first home fixture against Newcastle United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 29 August — a fixture that pairs Tonali against his former club.
