Van Hecke To Spurs! Is Tottenham's Defence Now COMPLETE? | Senesi, Robertson & The Savinho Race

Adam and Jake are in to make sense of a mad few days for THFC, because the defence we have been crying out for is suddenly being built right in front of us. Van Hecke is the big one. Spurs have agreed a deal with Brighton worth around £52m, and he is exactly the ball-playing centre-half De Zerbi has been asking for. Pair him with Marcos Senesi, in for nothing from Bournemouth, and you have two of the best progressive defenders in the league in the same back line. Add Andy Robertson at left-back and the spine looks completely different to the one that limped through last season. So we are asking the obvious one.

Is this defence actually finished, or is there another piece to come? That brings us to the Vuskovic question. The lad looks like a proper player, but with Van Hecke and Senesi in, and Van de Ven and Romero still here, where does he fit? We get into whether he goes out again, whether he should, and what Romero's future actually looks like in a side built around defenders who play out from the back. We also get into the forwards and the wingers, because a tidy defence means nothing if we cannot hurt teams at the other end. Savinho is the name everyone is talking about and the noises out of the club are getting louder. We talk through whether he is the right fit, what De Zerbi's attack is supposed to look like, and who else needs to walk through the door before this window is done.

And we could not start without the World Cup. England got off the mark with a 4-2 win over Croatia, Harry Kane with two, Bellingham and Rashford on the scoresheet. We give you our take on how Tuchel's lot looked and what it means heading into Ghana next. Get involved. Tell us in the comments whether you think the defence is done, and who you want next.
