Tottenham Hotspur’s summer plans are looking set to see Bayern Munich stand in their way once again.
Spurs have finally got their summer transfer window up and going with their first permanent signing in youngster Archie Gray.
The international tournaments may have hindered Tottenham in the summer window with some players still not having enjoyed their summer break.
Last summer saw a lot of change happen at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and perhaps the biggest was the sale of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich.
But it now seems that Spurs are going to have to battle with Bayern once again this summer if they are going to land one of their attacking targets.

Now Tottenham have brought in Gray, Postecoglou has a new option in midfield who could also provide cover in defence at right-back.
It is now claimed Postecoglou will be looking for Tottenham to make an attacking addition with pre-season set to get underway this weekend.

But it seems there may not be a real urge to bring in a new striker this summer as Spurs continue to be linked with wide options.
According to Alasdair Gold, Spurs could use their strong relationship with Rennes to push forward in their interest in Desire Doue.
However, this is a player who is in high demand this summer having received interest from the likes of Bayern and Paris-Saint Germain.
But Tottenham’s interest in the Frenchman is said to be strong and it has not been diminished by the calibre of the clubs also believed to be in the race for the 19-year-old.
Tottenham have already beaten Bayern to Radu Dragusin
Postecoglou could take some confidence into the interest in Doue from the January signing of Radu Dragusin.
Spurs were able to fend off interest from Bayern back in January for Dragusin.
However, Doue is a player who could well be worth the hassle for Spurs with the youngster having been labeled “unplayable” by his teammate Baptiste Santamaria.
“e’s a very talented player with a great sense of football. But he’s still young (editor’s note: 18). But he’s a player who aspires to go to the biggest clubs,” he told TNT Sports.
“He’s one of a kind: he likes to hit the ball but he’s solid on his feet. Desire’s technical, percussive and physical qualities are quite incredible. When he becomes more consistent, he’ll be unplayable. For his age, he’s the most gifted youngster I’ve seen in my career.”
