Tottenham have endured a chaotic summer. A struggle to find Jose Mourinho's long-term successor as manager, doubts over Harry Kane's future and protests towards owner Daniel Levy has made things toxic in north London.
But pre-season matters are looking up for Spurs, who now have Nuno Espirito Santo as their new head coach and the club are starting to pull in transfers once again.
After securing deals for young winger Bryan Gil and goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini, the north London club are close to agreeing a deal for Juventus defender Cristian Romero, who has spent the last two seasons on loan at Atalanta and Genoa.
