Tottenham Hotspur recently confirmed that majority shareholder, the Lewis family trust, has injected £100m of new capital into the club, and GIVEMESPORT have taken a look at how they could spend that money to improve Thomas Frank's squad.

Sources close to the Lewis family confirmed to GIVEMESPORT that although the injection on Thursday isn't simply a transfer kitty, it will go towards strengthening the squad, for the present and the future. £100m might not seem like an awful lot in the grand scheme of things when it comes to football, but with Spurs often targeting young, up-and-comings, they could reinforce their squad significantly over the coming months.

There are plenty of routes Tottenham can go down, and we've taken a look at how they can improve their squad using that kind of money.

Do Everything to Sign Antoine Semenyo in January

Reports have recently claimed that Tottenham are eyeing a move to sign Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, who could cost £75m. Spurs would have to smash their transfer record to bring him to the club, but he's certainly a player who could be worth splashing the cash on in the January transfer window.

Semenyo naturally has plenty of interest in him, and if the north London club opt to wait until the summer, they could fall behind in the race to secure his signature. The Bournemouth forward has nine goals and assists combined in just seven Premier League games this season, with interest in him likely to ramp up in 2026.

Frank has regularly rotated his options in attack this campaign, but Semenyo, with his Premier League experience, could slot in perfectly on the left-hand side of attack.

Save The Money for Fairytale Harry Kane Return

An emotional return for Harry Kane would likely please the majority of Spurs fans, considering what he's contributed to the club over the years. The England international is showing no signs of slowing down, scoring goals for fun in the Bundesliga, and reports have claimed his release clause will drop to £54m in January.

A move in the winter window appears unlikely due to Kane having his full focus on Bayern Munich at the moment, but it will be interesting to see if he's keen on a return to the Premier League in the summer. If there's even a small percentage of a chance of bringing Kane back to the club, Tottenham should be keeping their powder dry until later in 2026 to secure his signature.

Kane might still want that Premier League goal record, and what better place to do it than back at the club you started your career with?

Triple Signing Including Kenan Yildiz

One player who could help transform Spurs and fill two of their recruitment criteria at the same time - an up-and-coming star and someone who can make an immediate impact - is Juventus' Kenan Yildiz. The young star is already a key player for the Serie A club, and he has bags of potential, even being labelled as a 'future Ballon d'Or winner'.

The signing of Yildiz might take a large part of the budget, but another similar profile could be available on the market if he gets his own way. Reports have claimed Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo could force an exit after a difficult period under Ruben Amorim, and the England international did push for a loan move in the summer. It remains to be seen whether Spurs would sell to United, but trying for a loan move could be smart if he wants game time before the World Cup.

With Yildiz taking up a host of the budget, Spurs could also look to raid Juventus once again. Dusan Vlahovic is out of contract next summer, as a potential squad rotation option in attack, the Serbian striker could be a smart addition on a free transfer.
