BBC Sport journalist shares what Tottenham are going to do next after signing Wilson Odobert
What next for Tottenham? ????
Tottenham Hotspur have just announced their fifth signing of the summer transfer window with Wilson Odobert.
Ange Postecoglou has just been handed another attacking option to add to his squad this summer with the £32m signing of Odobert from Burnley.
It is a deal which has certainly come as a real surprise to everyone outside of the club with Tottenham keeping tight-lipped about his arrival.
But Odobert arrived to Tottenham on Friday morning and sealed his move to north London in a deal which has seen Tottenham add a much-needed winger to their squad.
Two weeks remain in the transfer window the Lilywhites to secure any final pieces of business before the deadline at the end of the month.
And this has left Spurs with some particular targets ahead of the window shutting.
What Tottenham want to sign next after Wilson Odobert
It has been a strange summer transfer window for Tottenham with the majority of their business seeing players depart.
Emerson Royal’s recent sale has marked the 11th departure from Tottenham this summer as the focus will now turn to adding to their squad.
According to BBC Sport, Spurs are now close to wrapping up their summer activity but there are still some signings on their radar.

Spurs have spent fairly baig on Odobert considering he is a player with not a great deal of Premier League experience.
The Frenchman has added to what has been a revolution of young players to arrive at Tottenham since Postecoglou’s appointment.
And that looks set to continue with Nizar Kinsella saying there could now be some further young backup players signed.
Other than that, it seems like Tottenham’s summer business is pretty much wrapped up for the window.
Who is Wilson Odobert?
It is certainly a signing which no one saw coming this Friday morning with no noise coming from either side on a potential deal.
In a time where every movement in a proposed transfer is shared on social media, it has to be said, this deal was somewhat refreshing.
And in Odobert, Spurs have signed an extremely exciting forward who is going to be capable of playing on either side of the wing.
The 19-year-old scored with a smart finish in Burnley’s season opener against Luton Town earlier in the week.
How much game time he is offered will have to be seen but Spurs have been crying out for another winger this summer.
Tottenham were pipped to the singing of Pedro Neto by Chelsea but this is a deal which could prove shrewd from Spurs given the Portuguese winger’s injury struggles.
