Tottenham Hotspur still wants to strengthen their attacking midfield options, and Thomas Frank hopes that the club has learned from their earlier errors in the transfer market
Tottenham Hotspur would like to prevent them from repeating transfer errors from the past while the Thomas Frank team continues their hunt for new talent. Despite a flawless start of the new Premier League season, Spurs still want to strengthen certain areas before the transfer window closes.
New manager Frank has already welcomed Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United and has concluded a loan agreement for Joao Palhinha of Bayern Munich, who found the back of the net in the impressive victory of the club over Manchester City. Tottenham's failed attempt to sign Nottingham Forest Ace Morgan Gibbs-White and miss Ebereechi Eze at Arsenal, underlines the goal of the club to sign a new number 10.
The departure of son Heung-Min to Lafc, James Maddison's long-term injury and Dejan Kulusevski, who is out of operation, also emphasizes the need for more firepower. The club will be careful not to repeat earlier errors, which took five years to tackle a trio of high -profile signing sessions in positions that Frank has tried to strengthen.
In 2019, Spurs splashed a record of £ 63 million to bring Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon. The midfielder was accompanied by Fulham -Prast Ryan Sessegnon for £ 25 million, while Giovani Lo Celso initially came on loan in a deal of £ 42 million.
Unfortunately for Spurs, their three new signing sessions were not fully informed and they have only earned back a small group of their combined transfer costs of £ 130 million. Both Ndombele and Sessegnon left for free transfers last summer to become a member of Nice and Fulham respectively. Lo Celso was the only one who made compensation and went to Real Betis for around £ 4 million, so Spurs had to think about their loss of £ 126 million.
This summer, the club focused on new signing sessions in comparable positions. Spurs have strengthened their center-Middenveld and added an attacker, but they are still hunting an attacking midfielder. They may have missed Gibbs-White and Eze, but they are linked to various other goals.
Football London reports that Tottenham is enthusiastic about the Savinho of Manchester City, who did not make Pep Guardiola's MatchDay team during the weekend. The Brazilian could fulfill a broad player or number 10 role for Frank's team, but Spurs must pay the asking price of Man City.
The Independent reported last week that Tottenham is interested in Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa. However, it seems that every deal is unlikely, because it is expected that Villa would demand more than Spurs was willing to pay for Eze.
Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche is linked to a switch to Spurs. The club also realizes Como's Nico Paz, but the rival interest of Real Madrid is damaging Tottenham's opportunities to get a deal across the border.
Spurs boss Frank, however, does not seem impressed by the long yacht of the club for new players. His side performed well in their defeat of the PSG's penalty shootout in the UEFA Super Cup and started the Premier League season with victories over Burnley and Man City.
Pape Matar Sarr was used in a more advanced midfield position against Man City and operated for Palhinha and Rodrigo Bentancur. Tottenham -Baas Frank has emphasized that he is happy with his team and is not almost worried about losing transfer perspectives that would rather be elsewhere.
“To make it very, very clear, I don't want players who don't want to come to the club,” Frank said during a recent press conference. “Who don't want to come to the club and wear this fantastic badge – we don't want them here.
“I think that is very clear, and also quite certain that the fans will feel the same if they don't want to put the fantastic shirt over their heads. Play for the badge, play for the club. Enjoy it really. No problem, then we don't want them there. I think that's an important message.”
