Tottenham Hotspur end Paulo Dybala transfer pursuit over fitness fears

Tottenham Hotspur have abandoned their pursuit of Roma forward Paulo Dybala ahead of the summer transfer window due to mounting concerns over his long-term fitness and age.

The north London club were closely monitoring the 30-year-old’s contract situation with a view to a potential free transfer.

However, the Argentine international has been restricted to just 14 starts for the Italian side this season.

This persistent poor injury record has ultimately prompted Spurs to shift their focus toward alternative attacking targets.

Premier League survival sparks rebuild

Preparations for a crucial summer of recruitment are now fully underway at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The acceleration in transfer activity follows a tense final day where a narrow 1-0 victory over Everton secured their top-flight status.

Avoiding a catastrophic relegation to the Championship has provided the hierarchy with a vital platform to overhaul an underperforming squad.

Former midfielder Jamie O’Hara recently branded elements of the current team as “woeful”, highlighting the urgent need for widespread reinforcements.

Defensive additions on the horizon

While the World Cup-winning attacker will not be arriving in the capital, defensive reinforcements appear to be imminent.

The club have reportedly reached an agreement to sign veteran left-back Andy Robertson.

The Scotland captain is available on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract at Liverpool.

Furthermore, Spurs are urgently attempting to formalise a deal for Bournemouth centre-back Marcos Senesi.

The South American defender is also entering free agency, though intense interest from rival clubs has forced Tottenham to act swiftly to secure his signature.
