Thomas Frank has now urged Tottenham Hotspur to sign Adam Wharton, as Spurs fans wait to see what happens with the Morgan Gibbs-White deal.
Thomas Frank has begun leaving his mark on Tottenham Hotspur, with transfer activity now ramping up in recent weeks.
It was revealed before Frank’s appointment that he was set to have a say on the players Spurs buy this summer, although the club ultimately decides on transfers.
Mohammed Kudus and Kota Takai are just two of four deals that Tottenham have completed before the start of the Premier League season, with Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso already having been signed.
Morgan Gibbs-White’s transfer to Tottenham has been delayed because of legal action being taken by Nottingham Forest, but that is not expected to prevent a move from going through.
Thomas Frank wants Tottenham to sign Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace
From the looks of things, Tottenham Hotspur are not done yet, with reports from GIVEMESPORT now claiming that Frank has his eyes on Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton.
It is claimed by the publication that Wharton has been identified as Tottenham’s dream signing this summer window after Gibbs-White – with the implication being that both could happen.
MORE SPURS STORIES
However, Tottenham know that the Crystal Palace man would not come cheap, as their fellow Londoners are reported to be looking at a fee upwards of £80million to tempt them into entertaining a deal.
While Tottenham are aware of this, it is understood that Spurs are still circling and weighing up whether to test Palace’s resolve with a formal offer.
Adam Wharton deal would not be easy for Spurs
Evidently, this summer Tottenham are looking to sign players with experience, as we have seen with the Kudus deal and Tottenham’s intent to sign Gibbs-White after paying his £60million clause.
Wharton is another player who fits the bill of an experienced Premier League player, having spent two seasons in the English top flight with Palace, making 36 appearances.
Despite Tottenham’s interest in the 21-year-old, it is stated that Crystal Palace are in a strong negotiating position and are under no pressure to offload Wharton.
The midfielder still has four years left on his current contract, which is seen as a stumbling block for Tottenham as they continue considering testing the south Londoners’ resolve.
