Tottenham completed some eye-catching signings over the summer despite enduring significant frustrations.
Mohammed Kudus was the most expensive Spurs addition and has already impressed with his early-season performances.
Furthermore, Thomas Frank now has Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani as strong options in attack.
However, Ally McCoist has named the best arrival at Hotspur Way this summer, and it is not any of them.

While Son Heung-min waved goodbye to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, he was the only real name of note to depart the Lilywhites.
As well as the aforementioned players to have arrived in North London, Joao Palhinha is another to have made a positive impact.
However, speaking in a clip posted by talkSPORT on 2 September, McCoist revealed that Thomas Frank is their greatest signing of the summer.
He said: “I tell you what, their best signing might be their manager.
“He might just be the best signing they’ve made in a number of years because I think he’s a terrific coach, a terrific manager, and he’ll do really, really well.”
What has Thomas Frank changed at Tottenham?
While it is early days, there has been enough evidence to suggest that the North London club can be a real force this season.
Against PSG, Frank’s men pressed high up the pitch, and there was real energy from all of his players.
Furthermore, the Dane has been able to get the best out of Richarlison, who has played some of his best football in a Spurs shirt this campaign.
Against Man City, the Lilywhites defended resolutely, with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven looking like one of the best centre-back partnerships in the Premier League.
Yes, the defeat to Bournemouth was unexpected, but the North London club look well organised and difficult to penetrate.
Of course, the new signings are eye-catching, and if they can perform to their best, then Frank’s side can be a threat.
