Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly gearing up for a major £119m spending spree in the upcoming January transfer window, with Real Madrid’s Rodrygo and Villarreal’s Georges Mikautadze at the top of their wishlist. Under the stewardship of new head coach Thomas Frank, Spurs have made a solid start to the season, sitting fifth in the Premier League table after securing five wins, three draws, and three losses in their opening 11 matches.
The North London club invested heavily over the summer, splashing out more than £180m on fresh talents such as Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons, enhancing their attacking arsenal. Despite scoring a commendable 19 goals in their league fixtures to date, Frank is eager to further bolster his offensive options in January.
According to reports from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Spurs are “planning an €85m (£75m) offer” for Real Madrid winger Rodrygo, which combines a hefty fixed sum with performance-related incentives. The offer aims to tempt the Spanish giants into negotiations for one of their standout talents. Rodrygo, reportedly open to the move, is seeking more playing time to ensure his place in Brazil’s squad for the next World Cup.
Furthermore, Tottenham are said to be “preparing an offer close to €50m (£44m)” for the promising Georgian international, Georges Mikautadze, from Villarreal. Spurs are convinced of the striker’s immense growth potential in La Liga, but Villarreal have made it clear that Mikautadze is integral to their plans and any deal must not disrupt their sporting ambitions.
Alongside their attacking pursuits, Tottenham are also actively seeking to acquire a top-tier goalkeeper this winter, as noted by the Daily Mail. Despite the recent acquisition of Antonin Kinsky, the club is reportedly exploring options for a shot-stopper who can instil greater command and reliability at the back. One name linked with a potential move to North London is Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez, with Spurs pondering whether they can present an irresistible offer to lure him away.
These ambitious plans reflect the uncertainty around the Lewis family’s intentions to honour their public commitments to invest in the team for sustained success on the pitch. As the January window approaches, Tottenham fans will be eagerly watching to see how these transfer stories unfold.
