Tottenham Hotspur have opened talks over their next summer addition, with reports indicating an approach for Atalanta wing-back Raoul Bellanova as the club pushes to strengthen Roberto De Zerbi's squad.
The enquiry comes with a fee in the region of £17 million being discussed, according to multiple accounts. If completed, Bellanova would follow a transfer window that has already reshaped the north London side after a tense finish to last season.
Busy Window After Survival Fight
Tottenham Hotspur came within two points of the drop in 2025-26, securing safety on the final day with a 1-0 win over Everton while West Ham United went down to the Championship. That narrow escape has sharpened the club's resolve to build a squad capable of pushing toward the upper half of the Premier League rather than scraping through again.
ENIC-backed recruitment has moved quickly. Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi and Martin Dubravka arrived on free transfers, Jan Paul van Hecke joined from Brighton for £52 million, and Mateus Fernandes was signed from West Ham United in an £85 million deal.
Tonali Deal Nears Completion
Before turning to Bellanova, Spurs had been closing in on a landmark midfield addition. Agreement was reached with Newcastle United to sign Italy international Sandro Tonali, with the 26-year-old understood to have travelled to London for a medical earlier this week.
The structure of that move is reported at £92.5 million plus £7.5 million in add-ons tied to Champions League qualification, a fee that would exceed the outlay for Fernandes and rank among the most expensive deals in the club's history.
With Tonali's switch described as advanced on both club and player terms, attention has shifted to the next target on De Zerbi's list.
Bellanova Draws Premier League Interest
Bellanova, 25, has been linked with a move away from Atalanta as Tottenham explore options on the right flank. The wing-back profile fits a side that wants more depth and athleticism in wide areas after last season's struggles.
Tottenham are not alone in monitoring the situation. Fulham and Nottingham Forest are also understood to have made enquiries, which could complicate any straightforward agreement if competition for the player intensifies.
Nothing has been finalised on Bellanova, and the £17 million figure remains subject to negotiation. For now, the approach marks the latest step in a summer rebuild designed to give De Zerbi the tools to avoid another relegation scrap and compete more consistently at the top end of the division.
