COVID-19 aka the coronavirus continues to plague the planet and prevent sporting schedules, but behind closed doors, a business must go on as usual. Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho is set to make some huge changes to the squad this summer – let\u2019s take a look into the moves that Tottenham are making.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

London\u2019s richest club will be looking to flaunt their checkbook this summer, and with Jose Mourinho in charge, I have no doubt he\u2019ll deliver some nice surprises to the Spurs line-up for next season<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the current pandemic (coronavirus) preventing scheduled competition from resuming, it\u2019s not certain that the transfer window will open in the summer, but clubs and agents alike are still preparing for business per usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five-star swoop<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the late-season arrival of manager Jose Mourinho, it\u2019s been evident the manager has different plans for their style of play with certain team members being left side-lined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now the former titleholder will have a huge transfer budget to play with, he\u2019s already planning on a 5-star signing to strengthen the squad in the positions he feels most necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spurs will be gunning for somebody to play alongside and potentially compete with star center-forward, Harry Kane, especially after his injury problems of recent. They\u2019ll also be looking to fill positions at right-back, center-back, attacking midfield and also an anchorman in midfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spurs have shown an early interest in Willian, who currently plays for their rivals Chelsea and is reaching the end of his contract. The deal is currently on hold and will remain on hold for obvious reasons, one of the few remaining actives league is in Nicaragua<\/a>, <\/strong>which should give you an insight of how serious the current pandemic is affecting football. It\u2019s not even known if the summer window for transfer will even open with the current campaign on hold. There\u2019s a good chance we\u2019ll see the dates for transfers windows slightly adjusted, which could farewell for some, and not so well for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, Tottenham has huge plans for a squad upgrade as they\u2019ve shown a lot of interest in a lot of areas. Mourinho has already sealed the deal with Giovana Lo Celso back in January, along with Steven Bergwijn from PSV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philippe Coutinho back in the EPL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the more interesting transfer rumours would be that of Barcelona star Phillippe Coutinho. The former Liverpool star made his presence known in the English top-flight before being swooped up by Spanish giants Barcelona, where his form seems to have dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
