SÃO PAULO, SP (UOL/FOLHAPRESS) - Tottenham is the most active club in this transfer window among Europe's main leagues. After only escaping relegation in the Premier League in the last round, Spurs adopted an aggressive stance in the market and have already announced six reinforcements for next season.

WHO ARE THEY

Sandro Tonali

Tottenham paid 100 million pounds (around R$690 million at current prices) to take Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali from Newcastle.

The 26-year-old midfielder was also a target for Arsenal and Manchester City, according to the English press.

Matthew Fernandes

Spurs paid 85 million pounds (R$590 million) to get the 21-year-old midfielder from West Ham, relegated last season. Matthew Fernandes was another coveted name on the football market. The Spanish press reported Real Madrid's interest in the athlete following José Mourinho's return to the Merengue club.

Jan Paul van Hecke

The 26-year-old defender, who played in the World Cup with the Dutch national team, is also a reinforcement for Tottenham. Spurs paid Brighton £52 million for the defender.

Cuti Romero and Van de Ven have an uncertain future at the club, and the board anticipated hiring van Hecke.

The reinforcements that arrived for free

Tottenham's reinforcement team is not just made up of millionaire signings, the club also acquired three players who were free on the market.

The list includes Argentine defender Marco Senesi, who was out of contract after a spell at Bournemouth. Called up for the World Cup after Balerdi was cut, he arrives at Spurs free of charge.

Slovak goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, free after the end of his contract with Burnley, and Scottish left-back Andy Robertson, who left Liverpool, also arrived in London.
