Tottenham are doing what well-run clubs tend to do in this part of the cycle, scanning the market early, building a picture and weighing up future needs before they become urgent. According to TeamTalk, Hull City goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis is one of the names under serious observation after a highly impressive opening to life in the Premier League.
The 23-year-old has made an immediate impact since joining Hull from Olympiakos in a club-record move worth £20million plus add-ons. That fee already looked significant in the summer. It now appears increasingly shrewd.

The key line is that Spurs are “keeping a close eye on Hull City goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis after his impressive start to life in the Premier League”.

Tottenham gave Antonin Kinsky a new contract in the summer, yet his early season performances have seemingly not removed internal doubts. TeamTalk states that “there are figures within the Tottenham hierarchy who remain unconvinced that Kinsky is currently at the level expected at the club”. That is a significant detail, because it helps explain why Spurs are already reviewing alternatives with a view to next summer and beyond 2027.

Brighton’s Bart Verbruggen is also “firmly on their radar”, a reminder that Spurs are surveying several profiles rather than fixating on a single target. In recruitment terms, that is typically how these processes develop. Clubs gather live…
