I interpreted this as Gil being 99% confirmed as Spurs are likely to find a replacement, rather than a specific Spurs signing being 99% confirmed.
Yes we will get a Gil replacement for sure, question is who it will be.But as both transfers are linked the 99% would therefore refer to both the loan of Gil and our transfer which suggests we are getting a player very shortly.
3 out of 4 wingers there prefer LW, so unbalanced?Zaha for Gil is a gigantic upgrade. (I rate Gil potential very high)
Kane, Son, Kulu, Richy, zaha are title wining options.
Richy can easily play RW. Zaha could do the job at the left while son plays at the middle or play in the middle as he already did for palace.

Conte will play the 343 always anyways. I’d like a creative but it’s pointless if we never play 352. So an attacker makes more sense
I had no idea he is STILL looking for a new club. Injury has really wrecked his progress but if he can overcome that he could be back in contention in a couple of years.For a moment when you said "we're" and "we" you were referring to Spurs
I would not replace Kimpembe with Zagadou (unless he suddenly improves a lot)
Varane in his prime would be good to have but he was already in decline the season before he joined (as I've stated before: Real M. rarely a quality player leave without a very good "reason").
What about Dan James and the early return from Rennes of Joe Rodon?If we get someone as good as Zaha and a decent CB to cover/compete with Dier I think we are set for this season.

Why wouldn't he be homegrown for the Prem?
He was born in England. Played for Hull until he was 17 and then played for Swansea in the English league...
Ben Davies is also HG in the Prem, incase you weren't aware.
There’s no point in signing players who are good but don’t belong in a conte setup. I think that’s the reason Eriksen didn’t sign.
Richy can easily play RW. Zaha could do the job at the left while son plays at the middle or play in the middle as he already did for palace.
The rumours about Dan James make zaha look like messi as well
Zaha played RW for United in parts and earlier in his Palace career I believe so I don’t think it is beyond at least one of Zaha, Richarlison or even Son to cover Kulusevski.
