Tottenham are in the midst of their summer overhaul with a lot of players parting ways with the club for good.
Thomas Frank has already begun working with the players he has at his disposal ahead of a busy season.
Spurs will be competing on multiple fronts, including the Champions League, so they will need a deep squad.
Finlay Barnard joins Aston Villa as he rejects Arsenal
Finlay Barnard represented the Spurs Under-16s side but parted ways with the club at the end of last season.
The teenage defender was wanted by rivals Arsenal, but he opted against moving to them.

Instead, Barnard signed for Aston Villa, with the Birmingham outfit confirming the deal as well.
An image has also been posted of him signing a contract with them and the Villa logo is in the back.
Frank needs to be backed by Daniel Levy at Tottenham
Daniel Levy cannot afford to leave Frank unsupported at Spurs due to the club’s recent history and current expectations.
After sacking Ange Postecoglou despite his Europa League triumph, Levy’s decision to appoint Frank, a manager with a proven Premier League track record at Brentford, signals a need for stability and progress.
Tottenham’s 17th-place finish last season exposed squad weaknesses, particularly in defence and depth, compounded by injuries to key players.
Frank’s pragmatic approach and ability to improve players, as seen with Bryan Mbeumo, rely on targeted signings to fit his system.
Levy’s reputation for cautious spending has frustrated fans and managers alike, and failing to back Frank risks further fan discontent and potential dressing room unrest, as players like Son Heung-min and Cristian Romero already expressed loyalty to Postecoglou.
With Champions League football demanding a competitive squad, Levy must invest in quality players like Eberechi Eze or Antoine Semenyo to avoid another failed project and secure Frank’s success.
