Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge has now shared a 'hopeful' Tottenham Hotspur transfer update for supporters.
The Lowdown: Spurs set for busy summer...
Already bringing in Croatia footballing legend Ivan Perisic on a Bosman deal, Spurs are showing real statements of intent so far as they aim to back manager Antonio Conte.
The Lilywhites' recently announced a £150 million equity increase which, according to reliable reports, will be used to reinforce the Italian's options ahead of his first full Premier League season in charge.
Inter Milan star Alessandro Bastoni, Brentford big name Christian Eriksen and Man City striker Gabriel Jesus are just some of the names on Conte and transfer chief Fabio Paratici's radar.
In what could be a real summer of change, Bridge of Sky Sports has now shared a 'hopeful' update after Spurs completed a deal for Perisic.

Writing on Twitter in the last 48 hours, in reply to a supporter who asked if a right-wing-back and centre-half were next through the door, he explained:
"What I can say now is the club wouldn’t target anyone they thought wouldn’t join the club. That’s why I’m hopeful. I’ve just had to remind myself it’s May 31st."
That statement is following on from a previous message where he claimed Tottenham want two more additions over the 'next few weeks'.
The Verdict: Promising?
Tottenham, based off these messages from Bridge, appear to be getting a fair bit of their business done early and are aiming to fulfil Conte's desires.
That alone is very promising as the club steer away from chairman Daniel Levy's age-old tactic of doing deals late in the window to pressure clubs into quick-fire cheap sales.
Indeed, it's safe to say this summer could be the most exciting one at Spurs for some time, given how long supporters have grown frustrated by Levy's tactics.
