Tottenham are already making progress under new coach Antonio Conte but the Italian would be keen on bringing in a few new faces to bolster his squad.
While Spurs did invest a sizeable amount in the summer - 67 million euros - there is still clearly plenty of more work to be done in order for them to compete nearer to the top of the Premier League table.
With Fabio Paratici as sporting director, Serie A has been a major source of their market activity and that looks like a trend that will continue in 2022.
Franck Kessie
The AC Milan midfielder's contract expires in the summer of 2022, and Spurs are said to be leading the race to signing the Ivorian.
They are not alone in their interest, with the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United monitoring the 25-year-old, but a summer move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium looks rather realistic at the moment.
Weston McKennie
Paratici brought Weston McKennie to Juventus from Schalke, and Spurs are now looking to sign the United States centre-back/midfielder to London.
McKennie has youth and versatility on his side, and his Juventus career has somewhat stagnated, meaning that both parties would be happy to negotiate a deal.
Stefan de Vrij
The centre of defence is a troubled position for Tottenham, with Ben Davies having to fill in as a third central defender. Davinson Sanchez and Eric Dier are inconsistent with Cristian Romero is injured.
Therefore, it is no surprise that the experienced Stefan de Vrij has emerged as a target, someone who Antonio Conte knows well from their time together at Inter.
The Dutchman's contract is up next summer, and Inter are considering letting him go, an opportunity that Spurs are likely to snap up.
Dusan Vlahovic
Harry Kane appears to be staying put, for now at least, but Spurs still need another striker and few are more highly rated in Europe at the moment than Fiorentina's Dusan Vlahovic.
The problem for Spurs, in this regard, is that the Serbian's fee will be extremely steep with plenty of other clubs in the mix for the 21-year-old.
