Tottenham transfer news: Juventus’ Kulusevski & Bentancur sign as Ndombele exits

Tottenham have signed Juventus players Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur, while record signing Tanguy Ndombele has joined Lyon on loan.

Sweden winger Kulusevski, 21, joins on an 18-month loan for an £8.3m fee with an option to buy for £29.2m.

Ndombele, 25, joined Tottenham for a club record 60m euros (£53.8m).

Bentancur is a former Aston Villa target and is currently on World Cup qualifying duty with his country.

Meanwhile, Giovani lo Celso is also set to leave Spurs on loan.

Spurs fans protest outside training ground

It’s been a busy day for Tottenham who have so far secured two signings and let Ndombele leave.

However, that’s not the only thing going on at Spurs at the moment. I’m outside the Tottenham Hotspur training ground where a group of around 50 supporters are protesting against the club’s ownership and board.

They say that there is, and has been, a lack of investment in the playing staff, no accountability and a focus on the corporate side over the football side of Tottenham.
