New Foreign Signings for 2026-27

Tottenham Hotspur have added five foreign players in the 2026 summer transfer window as Roberto De Zerbi reshapes his squad. None of the new arrivals appears in the all-time table above yet, as players are only included once they have made at least one Premier League appearance for Spurs. Each signing will be added to the table after their Premier League debut. Scotland left-back Andy Robertson also joined on a free transfer but does not qualify as a foreign player for the purposes of this list.

Sandro Tonali’s £100m move from Newcastle United is a new club record transfer fee, eclipsing the £85m paid for Mateus Fernandes earlier in the same window. All five nations are already represented in the all-time list, so the number of countries will remain at 49 once the new arrivals make their debuts.
