Tottenham completed several impressive signings during the summer transfer window.
The Lilywhites bolstered their ranks with eight new additions during the summer months, as they were able to get the overhaul that they drastically needed after a woeful Premier League campaign in 2024/25.
Daniel Levy’s departure from Tottenham just days after the end of the window grabbed a significant portion of the headlines, but the impressive work that the North Londoners completed over the summer shouldn’t be overshadowed.
Thomas Frank’s men have made a bright start to the season, and one particular star has already outlined himself as a fantastic capture for the club.
This article includes exclusive comment from former Tottenham scout Bryan King.

Tottenham could have paid £70m for Mohammed Kudus
Mohammed Kudus has made an excellent start to his Tottenham career, as he is already establishing himself as a game-changer for the N17 outfit.
The Ghana international made the switch across London from West Ham in the summer, with the Lilywhites parting with a fee of £55million to secure a rare deal between the two rivals.
The winger is already having a significant influence at his new club, having notched three assists from the opening six league games.
Ex-Spurs scout Bryan King – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes that the North Londoners have actually underpaid for Kudus.
“When you’re talking about footballers and fees today, an average player is going to cost you £20m,” King said.
“When you find someone who’s got a little bit of something special, and Kudus has got pace, he can play either wing, and his delivery is always dangerous.
“For that kind of player, you’d be looking to pay £65m or £70m for him. If Kudus continues like he is, then I think he’s going to be a good bit of business for Tottenham.
“The deal will certainly have come from Frank. With him being Danish, he’d have known about him when he was at Nordsjaelland.
“I think it’s already turning out to be one of the best deals that Tottenham have done in the last two or three years.”
Spurs need Mohammed Kudus to add goals to his name
If there was perhaps one criticism that could be made of Kudus during his opening few games for Spurs, it is that he is yet to find the back of the net.
The 25-year-old notched 14 strikes in all competitions during his debut campaign in English football back in 2023/24, but we have yet to see that goalscoring threat materialise in N17.
With Dominic Solanke and Randal Kolo Muani both out injured at present, Spurs are arguably lacking a little in terms of goal threat, so if Kudus could begin to get himself in the box more often, then it would make him even more valuable to the team.
Frank and Co. will be delighted with his impact so far, but they will still be keen to get a little more out of him.
