Tottenham Hotspur are making some big moves in the summer transfer window.
Spurs have completed the signing of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham after Daniel Levy personally spoke to David Sullivan to strike a deal.
Almost immediately after that, Spurs were ready to trigger Morgan Gibbs-White’s release clause, but that deal is delayed after Nottingham Forest reported Tottenham to the Premier League.
The North Londoners still want to sign the Englishman, and along with him, Thomas Frank is eyeing another big move.
Thomas Frank has told Daniel Levy to sign Adam Wharton for Tottenham
Tottenham are looking to strengthen their midfield this summer.
TBR confirmed earlier this month that Spurs are ready to sell Yves Bissouma in the coming weeks — Fabio Paratici is actively working to move him out.
We also revealed that the future of Rodrigo Bentancur is uncertain. The Uruguayan has entered the final year of his contract, and he could be sold too.
Tottenham are keeping an eye on potential replacements, and GiveMeSport have claimed that Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton has been identified as the club’s ‘dream signing’.
The report claims that ‘Levy is allowing Frank to define exactly the type of player he wants to attract to Tottenham and the Danish tactician has asked to explore an ambitious move for Wharton’.
TBR revealed Spurs’ interest in Wharton this week and that the North Londoners would be ready to make a move if he became available.
However, the fact that he has a contract until 2029 complicates things.
How much will Adam Wharton cost and why do Tottenham want him?
Wharton is one of the best young midfielders in the Premier League.
The Englishman, still only 21, has been brilliant for the Eagles since he joined them, and he has already made his England debut.
That is why Crystal Palace rate him very highly, and the report claims that he will cost in excess of £80 million for Tottenham or any other club this summer.
The reason why Spurs are eyeing a move for Wharton is his experience in the Premier League. That is also why they have signed Kudus and are keen to add Gibbs-White to their squad.
