Tottenham Hotspur decided to turn to Thomas Frank as their manager this summer. He was picked as their replacement for Ange Postecoglou, who was sacked after they finished down in a disappointing 17th place in the table last season. The London outfit managed to win the Europa League back in May under the guidance of Postecoglou though and beat Manchester United in the final in Bilbao.
Spurs have the chance to bring in some more new faces before the end of the transfer window. They also have the opportunity to let some players head out the exit door as well if needed before the deadline on Monday 1st September. We have asked AI to predict who they could sign if they were given a £100 million budget boost (Daniel Levy’s got to have that down the back of the sofa, surely) over the coming weeks and here are the results:
The defender Tottenham have been tipped to sign
Spurs have been predicted by AI to snap up in-demand Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace for a price of £40m, beating Liverpool and Chelsea to the deal. His contract with the Eagles expires in June next year meaning his current club probably need to sell him now or in January to avoid losing him for nothing in June 2026, assuming he doesn't pen an extension anytime soon. He has been a key player at Selhurst Park over recent years but his future is up in the air.
If Frank's side were able to snap him up, he would significantly boost their defensive department. He would tighten things up at the back which is what they need to do after the last campaign. Guehi helped Oliver Glasner's men win the FA Cup against the odds a few months ago after they beat Manchester City in the final at Wembley.
Spurs have been backed to sign PSV midfielder Joey Veerman by AI for £25m. He would give them more competition and depth in the middle of the park. The Holland international, who has 16 caps to his name, has caught the eye in the Eredivisie over the past seven years and should now test himself in a new league.
He started his career with spells at FC Volendam and SC Heerenveen before his switch to Eindhoven in January 2022. The Purmerend-born man has since made 157 appearances in all competitions and has scored 24 goals. He has won the league title two years on the spin.
The forward signings Spurs have been back to pull off
Yoane Wissa is a player who Frank knows well from their time at Brentford together. He is facing an uncertain future at the Brentford Community Stadium and it is becoming increasingly likely that he will leave for a fresh start somewhere else. With that in mind, AI has tipped Spurs to be his next destination for a fee of £35m. Clearly AI hasn’t heard about his imminent move to Newcastle United, but that’s fine - we don’t want the robots getting too smart.
He would strengthen their attacking ranks and has proved over recent times that he knows where the back of the net is at the top level. The forward has fired 49 goals in 149 outings since his move to England, a whopping 20 of which came last term. Prior to his transfer, he was a hit during his days in France at FC Lorient.
Spurs may have to think outside the box with some of their deals over the coming weeks. AI reckons they will swoop for Fenerbahce striker Youssef En-Nesyri on loan. That would be a shrewd bit of business and would mean that they would save money by not having to fork out a hefty fee for his signature. However, they would probably have to pay a fair bit on his wages.
The Morocco international has scored goals wherever he has been and it would be very interesting to see how he would get on in England. His long-term situation in Turkey has been uncertain recently and he has been linked with a departure. He moved to Istanbul around 12 months ago and has since found the net on 30 occasions in 52 matches.
