  "textContent": "Roberto De Zerbi wants a number of signings at Spurs this summer (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nTottenham are looking at a string of Premier League transfer targets as they look to bounce back from a nightmare season.\n\nSpurs narrowly avoided a shock relegation to the Championship, with victory over Everton on the final day of the season keeping them in the top flight.\n\nDisaster was avoided, but finishing 17th for the second season on the bounce is still a woeful return for a club of Tottenham’s stature.\n\nManager Roberto De Zerbi only arrived on the final day of March and was important in keeping the north London side in the Premier League.\n\n##  The countdown is on\n\nOur seven-day guide to the World Cup is live. 48 teams, 104 games, 1104 players – we've got everything you need to know. Sign up now.\n\nHe now expects the squad to be significantly different by the time next season begins, with new arrivals and some players shipped out.\n\nThe manager said after the 1-0 win over Everton: ‘We have 10, 11, 12 players who are good enough to stay – good enough as players and especially people.’\n\nThe Independent report that the Italian is eyeing his former club Brighton for a trio of new signings, if Spurs can get them.\n\nTo view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvideo\n\nUp Next\n\nPrevious Page\n\nNext Page\n\nDe Zerbi wants midfielder Carlos Baleba, defender Jan Paul van Hecke and goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen as part of his significant rebuild.\n\nSigning all three seems unlikely, especially as Baleba alone was valued at around £100m when Manchester United were interested last summer.\n\nSpurs have already identified targets elsewhere, though, including Manchester City and England goalkeeper James Trafford, who is second choice behind Gianluigi Donnarumma at the Etihad.\n\nThe Daily Mail report that Tottenham are also looking at Leeds United ‘keeper Karl Darlow.\n\nJames Trafford is second choice in goal at Manchester City (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nTottenham have been linked with signing Liverpool hero Andy Robertson for some time as he leaves Anfield at the end of his contract.\n\nThe Scot is now expected to move to Spurs after they avoided relegation, with the 32-year-old bidding farewell to the Reds on Sunday after nine years at the club.\n\nThe extensive search for new players continues with two more Manchester City stars also reportedly on the shopping list at Spurs on top of Trafford.\n\nAndy Robertson is available on a free transfer on leaving Liverpool (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nThe Mail’s report states that Tottenham are still interest in winger Savinho, having tried and failed to sign him last summer.\n\nThe Independent claim that Spurs are also looking at John Stones, who is available on a free transfer after leaving City at the end of his contract.\n\nCentre-back is clearly a position De Zerbi is desperate to strengthen as Tottenham are also at the front of the queue to sign Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi.\n\nThe 29-year-old has been a regular during this impressive season for the Cherries but is now expected to make the move to north London.\n\nCristian Romero is expected to depart this summer (Picture: Getty Images)\n\nIn terms of outgoings, there will be some big names departing this summer, either on free transfers, at the end of loan deals or sold.\n\nYves Bissouma and Ben Davies are both out of contract and extensions are unlikely.\n\nJoao Palhinha and Randal Kolo Muani have both been on loan this season and Spurs would like to keep Palhinha after his short-term move from Bayern Munich, but Kolo Muani does not seem likely to have any future at the club.\n\nCaptain Cristian Romero is likely to be sold, with Atletico Madrid long-term admirers, while goalkeeper Gugliemo Vicario is also expected to depart.\n\nComment now Comments \nAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google\nAdd as preferred source\n",
