Former Tottenham defender Japhet Tanganga could be on the move this summer.
With the Premier League fixtures now released, the only thing standing between Tottenham and pre-season is the summer transfer window.
Now that Thomas Frank is in post, Spurs can focus all of their attention on bringing players to North London ahead of their Champions League campaign next season.
Bolstering their starting 11 will be the number one priority, though Spurs will need to add more depth to their squad to be able to compete, with an interesting update on their pursuit of a former defender.
Tottenham unlikely to pursue Tanganga deal this summer
Dennis Cirkin is the latest to have been linked with a move to Tottenham, having left the club in 2021 to join Sunderland.
MORE SPURS STORIES
A deal for the full back is unlikely to cost much, though it would aid their home-grown quota and provide sufficient depth, a similar story to what Tanganga could do.
His exit from Millwall seems inevitable after it was claimed he has a release clause of £1.2million, but Paul Robinson cannot see Spurs pursuing a deal for the latter, unless they are forced into business late in the window.
Speaking to Tottenham News, he said: “It is a deal that makes sense, but I don’t think they’ll revisit old ground that quickly.
“There’s a reason that they let him go. I think he’s done excellently well at Millwall, and I, for one, was surprised when they let him go. And for the fee that they let him go at, I think he was a top quality young player and fair play to him for wanting to go out and play regularly and play every week.
“But I think from Tottenham’s point of view, I think that ship’s sailed. I think they’ve moved on. They’re going to be looking at top-level players, as in Champions League players, now for next season.
“He would still be a good addition to the squad if he were in the squad, but unless recruitment towards the end of the window hasn’t been what they would have expected, I really can’t see that happening.“
Frank needs access to more depth at Tottenham
There are a number of reasons you can pinpoint for the failures that Spurs demonstrated last season domestically, though they all come back to the squad depth argument.
To put it straight, it was non-existent, and if Frank is to succeed as Tottenham boss, that needs to change this summer.
