Tottenham will surely be set to splash the cash in the summer after two transfer windows without spending a penny.

Spurs are well in truly in the Premier League title race despite their lack of spending which is an extremely commendable achievement. Mauricio Pochettino has placed his faith in his current crop of players who have duly delivered. With their new stadium nearing completion, the Lilywhites are likely to spend big to improve the squad in the summer.

Pochettino should finally be backed heavily in the transfer market to improve their chances of challenging at the top of the table yet again. The Argentine’s budget should be bolstered by the sale of many fringe players. As Kieran Trippier has struggled to replicate his form of the World Cup, a new right-back could be targeted.

One man Pochettino should be watching is Napoli defender – Kevin Malcuit. Valued at £11.25m by Transfermarkt, the Frenchman is a new arrival after joining from Lille in the summer for just over £10m. The 27-year-old has been an instant hit at his new employers, making 13 appearances in all competitions so far this season.

With Carlo Ancelotti choosing to rotate his defenders, Malcuit could be tempted in the offer of first-team football in England. Malcuit loves to get forward to help out the attack, averaging 1.5 successful dribbles per game, but doesn’t neglect his defensive duties. A strong, powerful defender, he should have no issues adapting to the physicality of the Premier League. He loves to get stuck in, averaging two tackles per game and reads the game superbly – making 2.2 interceptions per game (WhoScored).

Landing the former Monaco man in the summer could prove to be a masterstroke.
