Tottenham are closing in on yet another deal, and reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that a player is currently undergoing a medical at Hotspur Way.

Spurs have been incredibly active in the summer transfer window so far, bringing in Jan-Paul Van Hecke, Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson to strengthen their defence.

Tottenham later confirmed the signing of Martin Dubravka, who joins the club as a back-up goalkeeper for Antonin Kinsky.

Tottenham certainly aren’t done there, though, and they are currently working on multiple deals to strengthen their squad.

The North London outfit are looking to prioritise strengthening their midfield options, and they are now closing in on their first addition in the middle of the park.

Tottenham: Player Undergoing Medical

According to Romano on his Instagram, West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes is currently having a medical at Hotspur Way ahead of a move to North London.

Reports emerged earlier this week that Tottenham had beaten Manchester United in the race to secure Fernandes’ signature, sealing a deal in the region of £85 million.

Spurs offered a better deal for the Portuguese man, with the £85m coming in guaranteed funds rather than add-ons.

With a deal agreed, Fernandes has now travelled to Tottenham to undergo a medical, and it looks as though he could be the fifth signing of Spurs’ summer transfer window.

It’s certainly a lot of money for a player who moved for around half that last summer, but Roberto De Zerbi’s side aren’t messing around.

Next on the list for Tottenham is looking likely to be Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali.

According to a report from the BBC, Tottenham now expect Tonali to join the club in the summer transfer window, and they are advancing in their efforts to secure his signature.

Despite bringing in Fernandes, Tottenham are still pursuing a deal for Tonali as they look to completely revamp their midfield in the summer transfer window.

How their midfield is going to shape up next season remains to be seen, but De Zerbi is clearly looking to overhaul his current squad.

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing Premier League campaign last season, and they have certainly been making moves during the summer transfer window. The Lily Whites endured another season at the bottom half of the Premier League, in a relegation fight until the final day, where newly appointed Roberto De Zerbi steered the squad to a 17th-place finish.

With De Zerbi only joining the side during the business-end of last season, it is clear he will want to make his own signings for his squad and build a strong Spurs side that can challenge in the top half of the Premier League table.

De Zerbi plays a very different brand of football compared to his predecessors, Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor, and the Italian boss will have to make some tough decisions on incomings and outgoing transfers, with his squad needing players who are more suited to his fast, possession-based football.

New Tottenham Transfers 2026/27

Spurs have confirmed four signings so far this transfer window, with only one player in Van Hecke, costing them a transfer fee. Van Hecke has close ties to De Zerbi from their time at Brighton, whilst Marcos Senesi has been a standout player for Bournemouth, and picking him up on a free is a big piece of business for Tottenham. Martin Dubravka provides a good backup option, whilst having the Premier League experience and ability of Andy Robertson will be another key addition to Spurs.

The North London side aren’t finished yet either, with reports claiming that Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali is ready to join Spurs should both clubs manage to agree a fee. Mateus Fernandes is also a player of interest for Spurs, with the Portuguese midfielder looking to leave recently relegated West Ham, who are holding out for a fee of £85 million.

Spurs have also recently been linked with a bid for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, who enjoyed a loan spell at Barcelona last season.

Tottenham Departures 2026/27

There haven’t been many big transfer outgoings yet from White Hart Lane, with Alejo Veliz being the only player to leave the side so far for a transfer fee. The Argentine forward only featured eight times in Tottenham colours, scoring once. Yves Bissouma’s time at the club came to an end following the expiration of his contract, whilst Randal Kolo Muani and Joao Palhinha’s loan spells also finished.

Guglielmo Vicario is rumoured to be on his way out of the club, with Spurs set to back Antonin Kinsky with a new five-year deal at the club, with new signing Dubravka playing back up.

Lucas Bergvall has also been linked with a move away from Spurs, with the young talent rumoured with moves to Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest, who will be looking for a replacement following Elliot Anderson’s £116 million move to Manchester City.

A past opponent of tennis icon Serena Williams has spoken out on the American’s treatment towards her following a win over her at Wimbledon four years ago.

Williams is currently in the headlines and the topic of much discussion in the tennis landscape after recently announcing her return to the court after a four-year hiatus from the sport.

The 23-time Grand Slam winner returned to action at last month’s Queen’s Club Championships in the doubles event alongside young Canadian star Victoria Mboko.

The 44-year-old’s comeback was accelerated when she was announced to be playing in both the singles and doubles events at Wimbledon this year thanks to wildcards. The latter event will see her reunite with and play alongside her sister, Venus, once again.

Things did not turn out the way Williams would have hoped on her singles return to Wimbledon on Tuesday evening, however, as the unseeded Maya Joint got the better of her, claiming a memorable 6-3, 6-7, 6-3 triumph.

Following the loss, Williams shook the hand of her first-round Australian opponent before swiftly departing a packed out Centre Court. The American then decided to skip media conference duties after the match, instead opting to release a message to the press of her delight at competing at SW19 again.

In the moments after the contest concluded, French player Harmony Tan was quick to point out how she had been treated by Williams following their meeting at Wimbledon four years ago.

Tan was the last person to defeat Williams at the Grand Slam event in 2022 before the tennis great stepped away from the sport, inflicting an opening-round 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 loss on the American.

The French competitor, currently ranked 200 by the WTA in singles, posted a screenshot on her Instagram story of her attempting to find Williams’ official account on the social media platform.

However, the image depicted Williams’ profile being unavailable to Tan, confirming that she had been blocked by the tennis icon.

Tan captioned her story, writing: “So, 4 years ago, after the handshake, she blocked me also on Instagram btw (by the way).”

The 28-year-old accompanied the message with both a stressed-out face and laughing emojis.

Williams’ actions are somewhat surprising, considering there is not thought to be any bad blood between the two players, only that they simply faced off against one another at Wimbledon in 2022.

Perhaps, the American did not want to be reminded of the last player to defeat her at Wimbledon during her period away from the court.

Tan is not featuring in this year’s main singles draw at Wimbledon after failing to get through the qualifying stages. She won her opening two games of the qualifiers against Mia Pohankova and Esther Adeshina, respectively. However, she then came up short against Tyra Caterina Grant, losing 6-4, 7-6 to the Italian.

Williams will be hoping for better luck in the doubles at Wimbledon, when she and her sister face the South American duo of Solana Sierra and Camila Osorio in Thursday’s opening round contest.
