Tottenham could look to sign Arnaud Kalimuendo to strengthen their squad this summer.
Daniel Levy will be looking to dig straight back into the window after missing out on Morgan Gibbs-White.
With the return of the Premier League only a few weeks away, the Tottenham Chairman will want to give Thomas Frank the best possible chance of succeeding moving forward.
As a result, signing Kalimuendo could be the perfect opportunity to get the ball rolling once again.
This article includes exclusive comments from Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham.

Tottenham unlikely to land Kalimuendo this summer
Kalimuendo, who is under contract with Rennes until 2027, has been linked with Tottenham.
However, Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – doesn’t see this move materialising.
“I don’t think Tottenham are going to sign another striker during this window,” Wenham said.
“But I think if we do add someone, it’ll be someone with the ability to play off the wing as well as up front. With the permanent signings of Mohammed Kudus and Mathys Tel, Will Lankshear grabbing the first goal of the Thomas Frank era, and Jamie Donley’s involvement, I just don’t see the space for another striker at the moment.
“I think we’re quite well stocked in those positions, and I expect departures before any more players come in. Therefore, I’d ruled that one out. I presume this story has just been put out there to drive up interest in Kalimuendo.”
Richarlison could remain at Tottenham
With each passing hour, it becomes more difficult to imagine Richarlison leaving Hotspur Way this summer.
The Brazilian has travelled with the squad for the pre-season tour and could put up performances which convince Frank of his importance.
Now that it seems that Spurs will likely not be pursuing a move for a striker, Richarlison could have slithered out of a departure for now. While his recent injury record is a concern, his passion has redeemed him in the eyes of many Tottenham fans.
As a result, his continuation at the club could be welcomed by supporters in the coming days.
