Tottenham will prioritise five positions as they look to strengthen their squad in the summer despite shutting down their recruitment operation and Preliminary moves have been made to prise Willian from Chelsea when his contract expires in the summer, although that deal is currently on hold, Football Insider understands.
London’s richest club have put their scouting work on hold in April and May due to the financial crisis caused by Covid-19.
A Tottenham source has told Football Insider that transfer plans are nonetheless “advanced” with key targets identified for the positions manager Jose Mourinho wants to strengthen.
Spurs are in the market for a new centre-forward to compete with Harry Kane after his latest injury troubles, a midfield anchorman, a centre-back, a right-back and an attacking midfielder.
Like all clubs, Spurs are waiting to see how plans to complete the current season unfold, and the impact this will have on their transfer budget.
It is not yet known when the main summer window will open, with the situation fluid and the campaign on hold indefinitely following a meeting of the ruling bodies yesterday.
Nevertheless, Tottenham are set for a major overhaul in the summer after already completing two major deals since Mourinho took over as manager.
Giovani Lo Celso’s loan from Real Betis was converted into a permanent transfer in January, while Steven Bergwijn signed from PSV Eindhoven at the end of the same window.
Both deals cost in excess of £25million.

Yh, his been awesome this season Under Frank compared to other seasons under previous managers... I respect him for that... But if he where like 29, I bet we won't hesitate to give home as much as 4 yr contract, that is till he turns 33, but for now, he is too old to be given that much of a contract cos he might not be given enough time to play in the last season. Means he will be om a liability to our club. It's better he leaves to a new gud club like that can take older players, cos Chelsea right now is on a rebuilding phase

so far Willian is the most experienced player that we have at Chelsea. We can't have all the young players in a team, we also need players like Willian who knows the team better. Mind u William has that fighting spirit more especially wen Chelsea is in pleasure. Please do not allow him to go.
And azpi is experienced

the best part of william is behind him.No 3 year contracts for above 32s.we have let great players go before and still remained chelsea.dropba,terry,lampard,cahill,ivanovic just to mention but a few.Today its even trickier because we have the whole world of young tallent coming through,lets give them a chance.we lost exceptional young tallent like sala,debryne,lukaku,staridge coz of giving them less chances.william is good and has given us good service but he is always under 10 goals,under 10 assists,loses the ball in critical areas and loses vital seconds in reacting after losing the ball.pulisic will surpases those statistics very soon if he remains injury free.He has higher workrate,promises more goals per season,more assists and less ball lises and quicker recovery.Odoi will get better.A midfield with pulisic,mount,kante,and kovacic will run like donkeys.If they can improve on creativity,who needs willian.Fairwel man,good luck at maurinioh.we know he is infectious.once u love him,u will keep following him but his fortunes have waned significantly in the last 5 years.If u want to succed you cant live with the fear of making mistakes.chelsea and man u are the 2 most succesful teams in england in the last 15 years.This was achieved even with this policy in place and the higher and fire policy on coaches.chelsea for life .Take out all players above 32 we still remain chelsea

If Willian chooses Spurs, he will be trolled by me. I dont care about others feelings once a player or manager is at Spurs or Arsenal, they're getting trolled even if they carried us for years.

Plz Chelsea never sell player to Tottenham Hotspur, because we wanted to sign players from them but they never agreed.
We don't need to be like Tottenham. We're better than them. We can give them our players who are well past their prime. Not our gems of course.
