Tottenham must look to address the problems on the pitch quickly before pre-season starts
Tottenham Hotspur need to act quick in the transfer market if they want to close the gap on their rivals next season. As many fans expected, the Lilywhites are taking their own sweet time to conduct business while other clubs are signing players left, right, and centre. It is fair to suggest that Daniel Levy is already setting Thomas Frank to fail at N17 following his high-profile switch from Brentford.
The Europa League success that the North London club endured last month should not overshadow the Premier League failures under Ange Postecoglou. Many key players underperformed in domestic competitions, and failed to step up when it mattered the most. The need for a massive squad overhaul should be one of the first things on the agenda for Spurs heading into the business end of the transfer window.
With only two weeks left before pre-season actually starts, the Lilywhites have still not managed to make the most of the summer. The fans have showcased their frustration as well, blaming Daniel Levy for not taking advantage of the Europa League success. There are many areas on the pitch that need to be strengthened in the summer, but Levy’s incompetence to address these issues might hinder the progress of the club under Thomas Frank.
Tottenham get ready for more incomings in the coming weeks
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy recently put out a bold statement that basically said the club is aiming to win the Premier League and the Champions League in the coming years. However, the Spurs chairman has still not done anything in the summer to indicate that he wants to change the fortunes of the club for good.
But reliable journalist Alasdair Gold believes that the Lilywhites will conduct some business in the coming weeks before pre-season commences. Writing for Football.london, Gold said,
“The club moved pretty quickly when Postecoglou was appointed two years ago so hopefully they spring into action soon. I’d expect two or three signings by that point, but that might depend on some outgoings as well to ensure there’s the space more than anything. Technically, I think the first friendly though will be around July 19.”
Alasdair Gold pointed out that Tottenham moved quickly in the summer when Ange Postecoglou was appointed as the new manager. The reliable journalist adds that he expects the same thing to happen again following Thomas Frank’s arrival at N17. Gold also suggests that Spurs will bring in two or three players before pre-season begins, but it will depend on outgoing as well so that there is space in the squad for next season.
