Tottenham Hotspur's summer spending spree is not done yet.

The Lilywhites have forked out £237million to bring in Mateus Fernandes, Sandro Tonali, and Jan Paul van Hecke.

Marcos Senesi, Andrew Robertson, and Martin Dubravka have also joined on free transfers.

But speaking earlier this week, Roberto De Zerbi said: "We've completed 60 per cent of our project in the transfer market. Now we have another bomba."

The Italian would not be drawn on who the "bomba" signing is that Tottenham are targeting.

So, Tottenham News has had a stab at three guess who could be targeted as a marquee forward transfer in the coming days.

Savinho - Manchester City

Judge for yourselves whether Manchester City winger Savinho counts in the "bomba" category.

But, of all the players that De Zerbi could be alluding to, the Brazilian seems the most obvious target.

The 22-year-old is a long-term target of Spurs, and has reportedly told City he wants to leave this summer.

Tottenham News recently covered John Wenham's view that Savinho will leave Man City for Spurs this summer.

So, it does feel a very realistic possibility that this one could get over the line in truth.

Three things still on Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham wish list this transfer window

Pedro Neto - Chelsea

Pedro Neto is another whose future is not certain, amid reports he could leave Chelsea this summer.

Indeed, there have been reports that Spurs sent a verbal offer to their rivals earlier in the transfer window.

Neto was a regular feature for the Blues last season, but the arrival of Xabi Alonso as head coach makes his position in the team unclear.

The 26-year-old Portugal international can play across the front line, so would be a very valuable addition.

But, if he were to become available, there may be a lot of competition for his signature.

Victor Osimhen - Galatasaray

This one is more speculative than anything, though there have been some murmurings of Spurs eyeing Nigeria ace Victor Osimhen.

The 27-year-old was prolific at Napoli and there was a bit of surprise that Premier League teams didn't try harder for his signature when he moved to Galatasaray.

He is on big money with the Turkish giants, which could prove prohibitive to any deal that would be forthcoming.

But, there is a feeling that De Zerbi would like an upgrade on Dominic Solanke and Richarlison - who has been linked with a summer exit - and Osimhen feels like he would be.
