Tottenham can sign five stars from Chelsea and Newcastle as Postecoglou benefits from PSR
Tottenham can benefit from their Premier League rivals’ financial situations in the weeks after the Premier League season ends.
Tottenham will reportedly take advantage of Premier League rivals who need to sell players before June 30 this summer. The likes of Chelsea and Newcastle are among the teams who may offload stars prior to that date to avoid profit and sustainability regulation breaches.
June 30 is the official final day of the Premier League season and therefore the last date that clubs can file outgoing deals for the 2023-24 season. Any team at risk of breaching PSR for the last three years will be keen to receive income before that date and not let negotiations tick into next season.
The Times claim that Spurs, whose financial situation is extremely healthy, will take advantage of the situation. Ange Postecoglou is said to want a centre-back, midfielder and striker during the summer. Here are five players from Chelsea and Newcastle who Spurs could target.
Spurs have been widely linked with Chelsea vice-captain Conor Gallagher in recent years. The 24-year-old midfielder could be set for a shock exit from Stamford Bridge despite his impressive performances this season.
As Gallagher is an academy graduate, any potential fee received for him would be recorded as ‘pure profit’ on Chelsea’s books. Given that the Blues are unlikely to sell Gallagher for anything less than £40m, that would go a long way in easing the club’s financial issues.
Wide-ranging reports suggest that the former Crystal Palace loanee is keen to remain in London. That would likely put Spurs at the front of the queue if he leaves.
