The summer transfer window has finally kicked off for Tottenham, with Ange Postecoglou making several moves to change his squad.
The Lilywhites, on their return to the Europa League this season, will be on the hunt for further improvements, having narrowly missed out on the Champions League qualification.
Postecoglou is tasked with gaining a top-four finish, while the wait for a trophy could finally come to an end under his stewardship.
That means yet more changes to the squad to fit his style of play while bolstering the quality available to the Tottenham boss.
Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray have been two major additions, with the youngsters tipped for a bright future at Hotspur Way.
While further signings are expected, there are also exits on the horizon for a team still looking to change for the manager.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg Tottenham transfer exit
One of those players set for an exit is midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who is entering the final year of his contract at Tottenham.
The Danish international joined Spurs in 2020 from Southampton for a fee worth roughly £15million at the time.
In the four years since that move, Hojbjerg has been a divisive figure, showing reliability in most matches but occasionally frustrating the supporters.
According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, it appears as though his spell at Spurs is coming to an end as a deal has been agreed with Olympique Marseille.
The move is worth roughly €14million [£11.8million] with the documents set to be signed before a medical.
Romano claims that Hojbjerg never intended to sign a new contract with Tottenham, leaving a decision to be made over his final 12 months at the club.
Hojbjerg was previously linked with a move to Fenerbahce which would see him reunite with Jose Mourinho, as well as a host of other clubs.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg unhappy with Tottenham role under Ange Postecoglou
One clear reason for Hojbjerg’s move appears to be the role he was handed under Postecoglou over the past season.
The 28-year-old made 36 Premier League appearances under the manager but saw his actual game time cut by more than half.
A preference for Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma left Hojbjerg in the cold, leading him to reveal his unhappiness with the situation.
Speaking to Danish outlet Tipsbladet earlier this year, he said: “Of course, I am not satisfied with what is going on at the club. It’s not a secret, but it’s not something I make a fuss about either.
“I can put my head on the pillow knowing that I’m giving it my all to show the coach he has to believe in me. This is not the case at the moment, and it is the coach who must explain why.”
With that in mind, it appears as though a new chapter is on the horizon for both Tottenham and Hojbjerg.
