Tottenham manager Enzi Postecoglou said at a press conference on the 30th (local time) that `I think the recruitment is over.' His words are close to the truth in that he is likely not to recruit a sense of power immediately, but there is a possibility that he will recruit future resources in advance.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano exclusively reported on his personal channel on the 30th (local time) that Tottenham is close to signing Johnny Cardoso, a midfielder from the United States who plays for Real Betis.

According to Romano, Tottenham are close to acquiring priority for Betis and later Cardoso.

Even if they decide not to recruit Cardoso at a certain point in time, they also want to acquire the right to earn a portion of the transfer fee. Romano added that it was part of the Betis transfer deal for current Tottenham midfielder Giovanni Rosselso.

Cardoso is a defensive midfielder born in 2001, born in the United States, but learned football in Brazil. Cardoso, who played an active role in Brazil's Inter between 2019 and 2024, moved to Spain's Real Betis in December last year.

Carsodo, who quickly adapted, scored one goal in 17 matches in Spain's Primera Liga in the 2023-2024 season, impressing big clubs. Since the opening of this season, he has played one game as a substitute in the league.

Tottenham have recruited teenagers in all but England striker Dominic Solanke this summer. Midfielder Archie Gray, winger Wilson O'Dowbert and attacking midfielder Lucas Verbal. Last month, South Korean winger Yang Min-hyuk was also recruited first from Gangwon. Yang Min-hyuk is scheduled to join Tottenham in January next year after the K-League ends this season.

Tottenham is working on a huge project to catch two rabbits, the present and the future, after the replacement of the recruiter. Cardoso has also been selected as a key resource in the future.

Rival teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are expected to move busily on the 31st, the deadline for the transfer market, but Tottenham closed early. Coach Postecoglou said at a pre-press conference for the third round of the EPL against Newcastle on the 1st of next month that there would be no additional recruitment.

Solanke, who was hired for a club record of 65 million pounds (about 113 billion won), missed the last round against Everton after injuring his ankle in his debut match against Leicester City. It is not easy to play against Newcastle. Hishalisson also suffered a long-term injury during training, so chances are high that Son Heung-min will be at the forefront again. Son Heung-min scored multiple goals in a 4-0 victory over Everton.
