We jumped on for an impromptu pod after reports emerged that Brighton want Luka Vuskovic. We discuss why the move might make sense for everyone involved, whether De Zerbi is prioritising ready-made players over prospects, and what it says about the way Tottenham are operating this summer.

We also chat about the pursuit of Van Hecke and Verbruggen, Pedro Porro's future, James Maddison's leadership credentials, and why, despite finishing 17th, there's a growing feeling that Spurs are finally moving in the right direction.

This week we answer your questions on everything from Pedro Porro's future and the arrival of Andy Robertson and Senesi, to whether Spurs are finally correcting the mistakes made during the previous regime. We look back on the Thomas Frank era one year on, discuss De Zerbi's growing influence on the squad, debate the need for a top-class number six, and ask what Tottenham's strongest team actually looks like heading into the new season. There's also plenty of nonsense, a bit of geography, and a surprising conversation about why Arsenal's title win doesn't seem to hurt quite as much as we thought it would.
