Every completed Tottenham transfer in summer 2025: Signings, exits, loans

It’s a new era at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after the appointment of Thomas Frank as the replacement for Ange Postecoglou – and work has been underway to make the squad more suitable for him.

Postecoglou led Spurs to their first trophy since 2008 by winning the Europa League last season, but their disappointing finish in the Premier League table cost him his job. Now, former Brentford boss Frank has taken up the reins ahead of their return to Champions League football.

Whenever a new manager comes in at a club, it’s an appropriate time to assess the squad and see what changes need to be made.

Tottenham have been in the process of making the signings and sales to get the squad in shape for how Frank wants to build up his project in north London.

Here is a roundup of every signing they have made this summer and every player leaving, at first team and academy level.

Tottenham signings

Kevin Danso

• From: Lens
• Fee: £21m
• Position: Centre-back
• Age: 26

One of two loan moves from last season that Spurs have made permanent, Danso joined from Lens in February and played as a substitute in the Europa League final.

Spurs’ purchase clause for the centre-back was an obligation, so they stumped up the pre-agreed £21m at the end of May.

Danso made 15 appearances during his loan spell, 12 of which were starts. Spurs suffered from a host of injury issues at centre-back last season, so it will be interesting to see how he fits in if everyone is available in the new season.

“When you join a top club, there’s always competition, but I’m up for the challenge,” he told Austrian media recently about fighting for his place.

There have been some doubts swirling about the future of Cristian Romero, so Danso may have an opportunity to step up again as the Frank era begins.

Mathys Tel

• From: Bayern Munich
• Fee: £29.8m
• Position: Forward
• Age: 20

Spurs’ second loanee brought in over the winter was Tel, who joined from Bayern Munich with an option – rather than obligation – to buy.

Tel scored three goals from 20 games while on loan, but was an unused substitute in the Europa League final.

Nevertheless, Spurs have decided to put their faith in him for the long term with a six-year contract to tie him down until 2031.

TEAMtalk understands that new boss Frank told Spurs he wanted Tel to stay at the club, prompting their decision to buy him for just under £30m.

Luka Vuskovic

• From: Hajduk Split
• Fee: £12m
• Position: Centre-back
• Age: 18

After turning 18 in February, Vuskovic is now finally eligible to complete the move Spurs agreed in September 2023.

The promising centre-back was playing for Hajduk Split at the time, but has since had loan spells with Radomiak Radom and Westerlo.

Last season, in the Belgian Pro League, Vuskovic played 36 times and – impressively for a defender – scored seven goals.

Then, in June, Vuskovic earned his senior international debut for Croatia, which represents the progress he has made.

His contract in north London will last until 2030.

 

Kota Takai

• From: Kawasaki Frontale
• Fee: £5m
• Position: Centre-back
• Age: 20

The highly-rated central defender has signed a five-year contract and will be part of Thomas Frank’s first-team squad.

Takai has won two caps for Japan’s senior side, making his international debut in a World Cup qualifier versus China last September.

He played a key role in Kawasaki Frontale winning the Japanese Super Cup in 2024 while also being named the nation’s best young player that year.

Takai will compete for a role in the team alongside fellow centre-backs Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Kevin Danso and Radu Dragusin, when the latter returns from his ACL injury.

 

 

Max McFadden

• From: Leeds United
• Fee: Free
• Position: Midfielder
• Age: 19

A year ago, Archie Gray joined Spurs from Leeds, and this year, it’s McFadden’s turn. Although McFadden is actually older than Gray, he doesn’t arrive with as much senior experience and will go into the under-21 setup at first.

He has signed a two-year contract in north London, returning to the capital after previously learning his trade in the West Ham system.

Mohammed Kudus

• From: West Ham United
• Fee: £55m
• Position: Forward
• Age: 24

Kudus has signed a long-term contract with Tottenham and will play a vital role in the north London club’s quest to be successful in the Premier League and the Champions League next season.

A versatile attacking player, the Ghana international was superb for West Ham during his two seasons at the London club, as he demonstrated his ability to hold his own in the Premier League.

The 24-year-old scored 13 goals and gave nine assists in 65 Premier League appearances during his time at the Hammers.

Kudus was a regular for Ajax before he moved to West Ham in 2023, winning the Eredivisie title with the Dutch giants in 2021 and 2022.

Xavi Simons

• From: RB Leipzig
• Fee: £51.8m
• Position: Attacking Midfielder
• Age: 22

After flirting with a move to Chelsea for much of the summer window, Tottenham have finally snapped up the No.10 they have been chasing since James Maddison’s serious knee injury.

Simons is capable of playing as an attacking midfielder or on the left wing – both positions that are of need to Thomas Frank – and has penned a five-year contract with the option for two more.

The 22-year-old Netherlands international scored 11 goals and laid on eight assists for Leipzig last season and also has plenty of experience at Champions League level.

His arrival softens the blow of missing out on both Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze and takes some heat off Daniel Levy in the remaining days of the window.

Tottenham loan signings

Joao Palhinha

• From: Bayern Munich
• Length: Season-long
• Position: Midfielder
• Age: 30

Just a year after leaving the Premier League behind him to join Bayern Munich from Fulham, Palhinha has completed a return to London and English football with Spurs.

The last time he was in the Premier League, he was the competition’s standout tackler, so he should add much-needed bite to the Spurs midfield.

After taking the Portugal international on loan, Spurs will have an option to buy him next summer.

“I think my type of game, it belongs to the Premier League,” Palhinha said. “I’ve always said that I really enjoyed the two seasons that I had at Fulham, it was a dream come true and probably one of the best memories I have in my football career belonged to the Premier League.

“I really enjoyed playing against top teams, also against Tottenham in that moment and now I can be part of this, such a great club.”

Randal Kolo Muani

• From: Paris Saint-Germain
• Length: Season-long
• Position: Forward
• Age: 26

Spurs sensed a late opportunity to bring in Kolo Muani from PSG and made him their final signing on deadline day.

The versatile striker spent the second half of last season on loan with Juventus, where he scored a promising 10 goals from 22 games.

Spurs will be hoping his form in the Premier League is more reflective of that than how he performed for PSG, where he scored 11 goals from 54 appearances in his first year and a half.

Tottenham exits

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

• To: Marseille
• Fee: £17m
• Position: Midfielder
• Age: 29

Hojbjerg’s fate was sealed last summer when Spurs sent him to Marseille, who agreed an obligation to buy the midfielder at the end of his loan spell.

Working under former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi, Hojbjerg made 32 appearances for Marseille and became their vice-captain.

Across his four previous seasons with Spurs, Hojbjerg totalled 184 appearances and 10 goals.

Spurs will be looking to regenerate their midfield to a degree this summer, but Hojbjerg is now in their past.

Fraser Forster

• To: TBC (Released)
• Fee: Free
• Position: Goalkeeper
• Age: 37

Forster’s destiny became almost inevitable in January when Spurs bought Antonin Kinsky to be their new backup goalkeeper.

Prior to that, Forster was acting as the stand-in for the injured Guglielmo Vicario. After Kinsky’s arrival, the experienced ex-England international was demoted to third choice.

And at the age of 37, Forster has reached the end of his service to Spurs with 34 appearances behind him.

After being released at the end of his contract, it remains to be seen what the next steps are for the former Celtic and Southampton man.

Sergio Reguilon

• To: TBC (Released)
• Fee: Free
• Position: Left-back
• Age: 28

Realistically, there hasn’t been a place in Spurs’ long-term plans for Reguilon for a few years.

Bought from Real Madrid in September 2020, the left-back spent two seasons in Spurs’ first team before loan spells with Atletico Madrid in 2022-23 and Manchester United and Brentford in 2023-24.

Last season, he was reintegrated by Spurs, but not to play much. Reguilon made just six appearances during the final year of his contract and wasn’t used at all on their road to Europa League glory.

Having cost up to £32m for Spurs to sign, Reguilon is now free to find his next club for no transfer fee.

Alfie Whiteman

• To: TBC (Released)
• Fee: Free
• Position: Goalkeeper
• Age: 26

10 years since he joined Spurs’ youth system, Whiteman has been released after making just one senior appearance for the club in the 2020-21 Europa League.

The goalkeeper had two loan spells with Swedish side Degerfors IF in 2021 and 2022 but was a backup member of the Spurs goalkeeping department for the last three years.

Despite his lack of activity, he was still given a medal for his contributions behind the scenes in Spurs’ 2024-25 Europa League win.

“It’s emotional because I’ve loved my time at Spurs,” he said after being released. “The club is so close to my heart, but I want to be out there, whether you win or you lose, whether you save a penalty or the ball goes through your legs. That’s what I’ve always wanted.”

Charlie Warren

• To: QPR
• Fee: Free
• Position: Goalkeeper
• Age: 18

Warren was also a Spurs academy player for 10 years, making it up to under-18 level.

After his contract came to an end, the goalkeeper has agreed to join the QPR Development Squad after having a trial there.

“It was good to be involved with the boys towards the end of last season, obviously with the (Premier League) Cup win,” he said on QPR’s website. “The feel around the training ground and within the squad was really, really positive.

“So that’s what I want to be part of next season and kick on from there.”

Timileyin Adekunle

• To: TBC (Released)
• Fee: Free
• Position: Defender
• Age: 18

Rarely used in the under-18 team, Adekunle is a centre-back who can also play at right-back.

Formerly with non-league outfit Aveley FC, he has now been let go from the Spurs system.

Will Andiyapan

• To: TBC (Released)
• Fee: Free
• Position: Defender
• Age: 20

Andiyapan signed his first professional contract with Spurs in March 2023 and made nine Premier League 2 appearances for the under-21 side last season.

Able to play at centre-back or right-back, he has been capped by Wales up to under-19 level. However, Spurs released him at the end of his contract.

Archie Baptiste

• To: Middlesbrough
• Fee: Free
• Position: Defender
• Age: 19

After taking his first steps with Chelsea up to under-14 level, Baptiste played for Spurs from the under-15s to the under-21s.

Most of his gametime was for the under-18s in 2022-23 and 2023-24, with involvement limited for the lofty centre-back in his final year at Spurs before his release.

He will now play for Middlesbrough’s under-21s.

Elliot Krasniqi

• To: TBC (Released)
• Fee: Free
• Position: Goalkeeper
• Age: 19

Youth keeper Krasniqi spent a month of last season on loan at Bishop’s Stortford in the seventh tier of English football, having previously played in non-league with Hertford Town and Waltham Abbey on work experience.

He only ever played once for Spurs’ under-21s after joining the club as an under-13 player and has now been released.

Jahziah Linton

• To: TBC (Released)
• Fee: Free
• Position: Left-back
• Age: 20

An athletic left-back, Linton was signed by Spurs as an 11-year-old. He played seven times last season for the under-21s in Premier League 2.

Linton signed professional terms with Spurs in April 2023 but his deal has now expired.

Maxwell McKnight

• To: TBC (Released)
• Fee: Free
• Position: Right-back
• Age: 20

McKnight joined the Spurs academy at the age of 12 and played regularly for the under-21s last season.

He is another of the youngsters being released upon contract expiry, though.

Dante Orr

• To: TBC (Released)
• Fee: Free
• Position: Right-back
• Age: 18

Orr earned a handful of appearances for Spurs’ under-18s in the Premier League for that age bracket and the FA Youth Cup last season.

But his involvement was sporadic and he made no appearances after Christmas before being released.

Max Robson

• To: TBC (Released)
• Fee: Free
• Position: Right-back
• Age: 22

Originally an attacking midfielder, Robson was converted to a right-back during his time in the Spurs setup and was playing fairly often for the under-21s last season before his contract expired.

“After 15 incredible years at this Football club, the time has come for me to say goodbye and move on to the next chapter in my career,” he posted on Instagram in May. “This club has been my home, my family, and a place that has shaped me in ways I will always be grateful for. I want to thank the staff, my teammates, and everyone behind the scenes who has supported me every step of the way. Your dedication and belief in me has meant everything to me.

“Although I’m moving on, I’ll carry Spurs with me always. Thank you for the memories, the lessons, and the love.”

Jaden Williams

• To: Colchester United
• Fee: Free
• Position: Striker
• Age: 20

Williams was with Spurs since the age of six. He scored five goals in Premier League 2 for the under-21s last season, including a hat-trick against Blackburn Rovers, but has reached the end of his contract and joined League Two side Colchester United on a long-term deal.

The striker posted on Instagram in June: “After 14 unforgettable years, the time has come for me to embark on a new chapter. Since this is just the beginning I thank God for getting me this far. Spurs has been an incredible club and the place that shaped me into who I am today. From my first steps onto the pitch to my last training session, every moment has been filled with passion, growth, and unforgettable memories. I’m beyond grateful for the teammates who became brothers, the coaches who believed in me, the staff who supported me day in and day out.

“This club will always be part of my journey. Though I’m moving on, I take with me the lessons, the friendships, and the pride of having worn this badge for so many years.”

Josh Keeley

• To: Luton Town
• Fee: Undisclosed
• Position: Goalkeeper
• Age: 22

Keeley joined Spurs from St. Patrick’s Athletic in 2022 but only played for the under-21s rather than the first team.

Last season, he spent time on loan in League One with Leyton Orient – where he won the goal of the season award; yes, you read that right – and he will be playing in the third tier again from now on after joining relegated Luton.

Son Heung-min

• To: LAFC
• Fee: £19.8m
• Position: Forward
• Age: 33

The most emotional of all Spurs exits this summer, Son has said goodbye to the club after a decade of service which culminated in him captaining the club to the Europa League trophy.

Son stacked up an incredible 173 goals and 101 assists from 454 appearances since joining the club from Bayer Leverkusen.

Once part of a deadly duo with Harry Kane, Son has taken on even more responsibility as one of the main men for Spurs in recent times, but his impact was starting to fade.

He has now moved to LAFC one year before his contract would have expired, with Spurs accepting a bid that could break the MLS transfer record.

Reports have claimed the fee is over £20m, but American reporters have put it at $26.5m, which at the time of his move is the equivalent of £19.8m.

Bryan Gil

• To: Girona
• Fee: £8.6m
• Position: Winger
• Age: 24

Never truly able to make an impact for Spurs, Gil has made his loan move to Girona from last season permanent.

He made 32 appearances during his loan spell and scored four goals, which he now has the chance to add to.

Tottenham loan exits

Damola Ajayi

• To: Doncaster Rovers
• Length: Season-long
• Position: Forward
• Age: 19

A player who scored on his senior debut for Spurs against Elfsborg in the Europa League in January on their route to winning the competition, Ajayi will spend the 2025-26 season with Doncaster Rovers in League One.

Spurs still have him under contract until 2028.

Alejo Veliz

• To: Rosario Central
• Length: Season-long
• Position: Striker
• Age: 21

This is Veliz’s third loan spell away from Spurs after he ended the 2023-24 campaign with Sevilla and spent 2024-25 with Espanyol.

The Argentine striker has returned home to the club Spurs signed him from in 2023 on the back of 19 goals from 63 games.

Spurs will reportedly have the option to recall Veliz midway through the 2025-26 season should they wish. He has only played eight times for the club until now, scoring once.

Alfie Dorrington

• To: Aberdeen
• Length: Season-long
• Position: Centre-back
• Age: 20

Dorrington joined Aberdeen on loan in January, shortly after renewing his contract with Spurs until 2029.

Part of the side that won the Scottish Cup, Dorrington has now extended his spell with Aberdeen for another season, ready to add to his 16 appearances for the club.

Ashley Phillips

• To: Stoke City
• Length: Season-long
• Position: Centre-back
• Age: 20

Phillips spent last season on loan with Stoke City, making 35 appearances in the Championship, and has renewed his spell there for another season.

The defender explained: “It feels like unfinished business. I am absolutely buzzing to be back. I feel really valued, the coaching staff are brilliant, the gaffer has been amazing with me and presented me with the plan he has to help me to develop, it made it a no brainer.

“Working with Ryan Shawcross in particular is great for me. He helped my game immeasurably last year and I am sure that will be the case again this season.

“Also, through thick and thin, our fans have turned up and supported us. They have been great to me, I know they will continue to be, and we will need them throughout the whole season.”

Mikey Moore

• To: Rangers
• Length: Season-long
• Position: Winger
• Age: 17

One of the biggest prospects from Spurs’ academy, Moore made 19 first-team appearances last season and scored once.

Turning 18 in August, he will now spend the 2025-26 season with Rangers, whose website he told: “I’m excited to get going. As soon as I heard Rangers were interested and wanted me to come, it was a massive opportunity for me.

“I’m excited to be here and hopefully I can show the fans and everyone what I can do.

“I think with the new boss [Russell Martin] and the way that we play, it’s a great place to be at the minute. It was a pretty easy decision for me to come here.”

Tyrese Hall

• To: Notts County
• Length: Season-long
• Position: Midfielder
• Age: 19

Still awaiting his first-team debut in competitive action for Spurs, under-21s midfield prospect will now hone his skills on loan with Notts County in League Two.

“We’ve worked hard to bring Tyrese to Meadow Lane, with George Abbott’s successful loan and our relationship with Tottenham undoubtedly being influential in him coming to us,” Notts County’s sporting director, Roberto Gagliardi, said.

“Our thanks go to Spurs for once again recognising the valuable contribution we can make to one of their top young players’ development.”

Will Lankshear

• To: Oxford United
• Length: Season-long
• Position: Striker
• Age: 20

After making his senior debut for Spurs in October and spending the second half of last season on loan with West Brom, Lankshear’s next step is to have a full season in the Championship with Oxford United.

Lankshear didn’t score during his West Brom spell, so will be hoping to get off the mark this time around.

“I’ve had some really good conversations with the manager, and I feel like this is the right place for me to be,” he said.

Jamie Donley

• To: Stoke City
• Length: Season-long
• Position: Attacking midfielder
• Age: 20

Donley did well in League One with Leyton Orient last season, scoring eight goals from 39 games in the English third tier.

He will now be testing himself a step up in the Championship with Stoke, alongside Phillips.

“I had a chat with Ash too and he said it’s a great club, with good people in the building and he can definitely see me contributing to the team in a positive way,” Donley said.

“I’ve heard a lot about the coaching staff and how the Manager [Mark Robins] improves young players. You can see that in the history he’s had in working with different teams.”

George Abbott

• To: Wycombe Wanderers
• Length: Season-long
• Position: Midfielder
• Age: 19

Shortly after signing a new contract with Spurs, Abbott has been sent to Wycombe for the League One season.

It represents a step up compared to his previous loan spell at Notts County in League Two. He played against his new club in pre-season for Spurs and will now develop there before being assessed again in the future.

Yang Min-hyeok

• To: Portsmouth
• Length: Season-long
• Position: Winger
• Age: 19

After spending the second half of last season on loan at Queens Park Rangers, Yang Min-hyeok has joined Portsmouth on loan for the 2025/26 campaign.

Named the K League’s Young Player of the Year in 2024, the 19-year-old South Korea international winger has a bright future.

Yang will hope to make a positive impression at Portsmouth and establish himself as one of the best attackers in the Championship, while also continuing to adjust to the rigours of English football.

Portsmouth manager John Mousinho told the club’s official website: “Yang was an extremely highly rated player when he first came over to join Spurs in January.

“He then went straight out on loan to QPR and enjoyed a really strong impact with them in the Championship.

“I remember having the privilege of watching him live in a Friday night game against Derby when he performed so well in a 4-0 victory before coming down to Fratton Park a week later.

“It’s been a whirlwind few months for Yang since he arrived in England and we’re excited to have him at Pompey.

“We believe he’s a real prospect and know that Tottenham think highly of him, so this is the next part of his development.

“He’s direct and exciting in the way that he plays and can really help us achieve what we’re looking for this season.”

Alfie Devine

• To: Preston North End
• Length: Season-long
• Position: Attacking midfielder
• Age: 21

Four and a half years have now passed since Devine became Spurs’ youngest ever goalscorer. Still only 21, he retains a bright future.

Spurs have extended his contract before sending him out on loan to Preston for the 2025-26 Championship campaign.

It’s his fourth loan spell away from Spurs, having previously turned out for Port Vale in League One, Plymouth Argyle in the Championship and Westerlo in the Belgian Pro League.

Despite the contract renewal, Preston have announced they have an option to buy Devine at the end of his loan.

“I’m buzzing,” said Devine. “When this opportunity came about, I was excited when I first heard about it. I’m happy to be here and happy to get it done. I can’t wait to get going.”

Luka Vuskovic

• To: Hamburg
• Length: Season-long
• Position: Centre-back
• Age: 18

Having initially signed over the summer, the highly-rated central defender now heads out on loan to the Bundesliga for more first-team experience.

There were some suggestions that Tottenham could keep Vuskovic, who is deadly from set-pieces, around after he made a big impression on Thomas Frank during pre-season. However, he has now completed a switch to Hamburg.

Manor Solomon

• To: Villarreal
• Length: Season-long
• Position: Winger
• Age: 26

Solomon had a successful spell in the Championship with promotion-winning Leeds United last season, but wasn’t really taken into account for a role back in the Spurs squad and didn’t make his move to West Yorkshire permanent either.

Instead, he made a deadline day escape for Villarreal, taking him to Spanish football for the first time in his career.
