Spurs Transfers: Predicting Andre Villas-Boas' 5 August Signings

£17 million last month, before FC Twente winger Nacer Chadli also signed for £7 million. And the spending didn't end there as manager Andre Villas-Boas pushed the summer splurge toward the £50 million barrier by adding Valencia striker Roberto Soldado to his ranks in a £26 million deal. Such spending at White Hart Lane hasn't been seen for years and it is the first sign that the club are prepared to compete with other Premier League heavyweights when it comes to signing top players. Spurs narrowly missed out on Champions League football last season as they were pipped by their derby rivals Arsenal to fourth place on the final day of the season. And Villas-Boas will be looking to avoid a similarly-crushing set-back come next May. But in order to really challenge the top 4, Tottenham still need a bit more quality - especially if they lose Gareth Bale - and here, we aim to Predict 5 more signings Villas-Boas could make this August.
