Welcome to Spurs, Fraser! 💙

Forster is Spurs’ second signing of the window, with the Lilywhites having already secured Ivan Perisic on a free transfer from Inter Milan.
Where else do Tottenham need to strengthen?
Forster and Perisic are both solid signings for Spurs, especially the latter who should bring some valuable experienced to the left-hand side of their defence.
However, Tottenham still have much work to do in the summer if they want to retain their top-four status and give a good account of themselves in the 2022/23 Champions League.
The main area Spurs need to strengthen in as at centre-back. Cristian Romero is their best player in this spot, whilst Eric Dier and Ben Davies have improved greatly under Antonio Conte.
But, Tottenham still need some more quality in that area, most notably on the left where Ben Davies is their only decent option.
So far, the north Londoners have been heavily linked with Pau Torres of Villarreal and Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni to fill this role.
