Here are some of your comments:
Vince: Dejan Kulusevski, if he's fit, and Mateus Fernandes. From the academy, Mikey Moore and Jamie Donley.
Moussa: Looking forward to seeing Moore after his successful loan spell with Rangers. He's now back with the team and should be exciting to watch. We could possibly see him make some cup appearances and the odd Premier League one - especially if we fail to sign another winger.
Steve: Marcos Senesi is the one I'm most excited about. He looks like excellent value and should strengthen the defence. Beyond that, I'm interested in how Roberto de Zerbi integrates the new midfielders - how he fits James Maddison within that - and shapes the team's overall style.
Mark: Excited to see how the new signings fit into the team - especially the new midfielders with Maddison just in front. Hoping to see the likes of Moore, Will Lankshear and Donley, and a couple of the other academy players get some games.
Richard: Sandro Tonali partnered with Maddison - wow! For the first time since the transfer window existed, it's exciting as a Spurs fan. Overall, the pre-season optimism has trebled, which is so positive.
Deian: I would love to see Ben Davies playing a part in the pre-season. Injuries spoiled the majority of last season for this elder statesman of the club.
Kris: Looking forward to seeing what Lankshear does in pre-season. Could save us a fortune on a new striker if he can produce.
Djed Spence and England beat Norway 2-1 in the World Cup on Saturday and booked their place in Wednesday's semi-final against Argentina.
The full-back came off the bench in the 86th minute as England went into extra time and had a penalty overturned by VAR - which you can watch unfold above.
Despite joining the action late, Spence finished the match as England's second-highest rated player by fans on BBC Sport.

Which players, including young prospects from the academy, are you most looking forward to seeing in action?
Image source, Getty ImagesPlenty of players have made names for themselves at this World Cup, from goalkeepers like Cape Verde's Vozinha and Paraguay's Orlando Gill to New Zealand midfielder Elijah Just.
But though they might not have been familiar to fans, the extent of modern scouting means clubs all over the world will already have known about many of them – so how have their heroics at the tournament affected their standing in the game, and their value in the transfer market?

The deal also includes an obligation for the Italian side to buy the 24-year-old if specific performance-based criteria are met.
Dragusin joined Spurs from Genoa for £25m on a six-and-a-half-year deal in January 2024 and has made 48 appearances for the club.
He struggled to recover from a serious knee injury suffered in February 2025 and only featured 11 times last season.

Image source, Getty ImagesTottenham's Cristian Romero scored the first goal in a scarcely believable second-half Argentina comeback to break Egypt hearts and reach the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup.
The reigning world champions had looked set for a shock exit against the Pharaohs, who led 2-0 with 11 minutes to go.
Opta's win probability data gave Argentina just a 0.6% chance of winning at the time of Romero's goal, but his header began a stirring fightback, with Lionel Messi firing home soon after and Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez heading home in injury time to complete the 3-2 victory.
It was the latest any country has been two goals down in a World Cup game and come back to win without needing extra time.

Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on which free agents Spurs could target this summer and whether there is one player they are linked with but you hope they never sign.
Here are some of your comments:
Steven: Dusan Vlahovic. Players of his calibre rarely become available for nothing. Use the transfer budget to strengthen other positions and pick up a top-class striker on a free. That's smart recruitment.
Josh: We need a better striker, so why not take a punt on Vlahovic?
K: Mo Salah to Spurs. Why not?
Finn: Tottenham should sign Luka Modric on a free. After the heartbreak of Croatia's World Cup exit, he deserves one last chapter at the club where everyone fell in love with him. He's an ex-Spurs player, still world class and his experience would help the team so much. Bring Modric home.
Paul: Modric to Spurs. As a player/coach who will guide Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray. Just having him around the place would fit in with where Roberto de Zerbi is taking the club. The one thing we can't buy is experience.
Mark: Vlahovic would be my free-agent signing. I'm not convinced about Savinho because we already have plenty of wingers with no end product.
Al: I hope we don't sign Savinho - has not done much at Manchester City and looks overpriced.
Football finance expert Kieran Maguire
Tottenham can spend significant sums because under the new squad-cost ratio rules (SCR) they are allowed to spend up to 85% of their revenue on player costs - player wages, amortisation and agent fees etc.
In their last set of accounts (2024-25), wages and amortisation was only 61%, and this includes all salaries. Clubs do not separate between playing and non-playing staff, although Uefa says that normally about 75% of total wage costs go towards a club's first team.
In addition, Tottenham's new stadium, which can now host up to 30 non-football events a year at full capacity, is proving to be very beneficial.
At their old White Hart Lane ground, annual matchday revenue was £45m and commercial income - which includes concerts and NFL games - was £73m.
At the new stadium those figures were £126m and £277m, respectively, in 2024-25. The additional money coming into the club allows it to spend more under the SCR regime.
While the club has spent a lot of money this summer to date, transfer fees are amortised over the length of the contract, but limited to five years, so a £240m spend this summer equates to a £48m amortisation fee.
Tottenham's total revenue for 2024-25 was £565m. Under SCR rules they would be able to spend up to £480m a year on their squad.
Tottenham will test Bournemouth's resolve with an £85m bid for French forward Eli Junior Kroupi, despite the Cherries insistence that the 20-year-old is not for sale. (Talksport, external)

Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on how big a statement of intent it is for Tottenham to spend up to £100m on Sandro Tonali, and what the club should do next in their summer of big spending and big changes.
Here are some of your comments:
Natan: It's such a big statement signing. A player basically at the top level and in their prime. Arsenal and Manchester City rumoured to be going for him too. We've seen this story so many times and it never usually ends with us getting the player.
Fouad: The left wing definitely needs strengthening - since Son Heung-min left, no-one has even came close. The right wing is fine with Mohammed Kudus and Dejan Kulusevski. Probably need another left-back or left wing-back too.
Doug: Amazing signing. We've gone about this rebuild in the right way, strengthening our defence first and now the midfield. We still need a striker and left winger, which I have no doubt we'll add soon. A lot of talk of overpaying but us Spurs fans don't care as it's what the market is just now, and we've suffered years of the club waiting to try to find a last-minute bargain. The club have finally shown us their intent to put football first by seriously supporting the manager in the signings he wants, going after top-class players and paying the wages needed to sign them.
TheSpursGuru: A fantastic signing for the club. Great to see us finally spend some money. We clearly need some players to leave in the near future too, and I think we need at least a new striker in through the door. Dusan Vlahovic is a free agent we should go after and then spend some more money on a new winger.
Oliver: These signings are great but will be inconsequential if we do not lock down on a striker. For the money we have spent on Dominic Solanke and Richarlison, they have not proven worth it - constantly injured and lacking a bit in the final third and finishing department. I would love to see someone like Brian Brobbey or even Vlahovic now he's a free agent. We need a physical striker who's a proven goalscorer and can easily adapt to Roberto de Zerbi's style of play. If we have to pay big for Brobbey then I would see it a good idea.

Image source, Getty ImagesNew Tottenham signing Sandro Tonali says "there was only one" club he was going to join this summer.
The 26-year-old midfielder joins Spurs for a club-record fee which could reach £100m after three seasons with Newcastle in which he became a key player and helped the club win the Carabao Cup - their first trophy in 70 years.
"I'm very happy to be here," Tonali told club media after the move was confirmed.
"When I arrived at the club today, it felt fantastic. People said about there being four or five clubs - there was only one.
"I spoke to the head coach for close to two hours about the club, the fans, the stadium and our football. It was like magic because I knew immediately that I had to sign for Tottenham. I've played against Tottenham a few times and always found a great atmosphere made by great fans. I can't wait to start the season."
Spurs boss Roberto de Zerbi identified his countryman as a target during his time in charge of Sassuolo several years ago when Tonali was playing in Serie A.
On adding the Italy international to his new-look Spurs side, he said: "Sandro is a special player and a great signing for our club.
"I have followed him for a long time, as he came through the youth system at my hometown club, Brescia, and I'm so happy to be working with him now. Given his qualities, there was a lot of interest in Sandro this summer. However, he was very clear in his desire to join Tottenham, and I know our fans will love what he brings to the team."
Spurs fans, how big a statement of intent is this move? And what should the club do next in their summer of big spending and big changes?
