Despite their Europa League triumph, it was a tough season for several players at Tottenham Hotspur, but they are all now set for a clean slate.
The arrival of Thomas Frank in North London means that players who once looked out of favour could be handed a new lease of life.
The Danish head coach worked wonders at Brentford, developing several players into top Premier League stars.
There is one player in particular that Spurs will be hoping Frank can work his magic with, as they still have ‘high hopes’ for him after a tough first season.
Tottenham still have ‘high hopes’ for Wilson Odobert
Tottenham Hotspur still have ‘high hopes’ for Wilson Odobert and are not giving up on him after what was a tricky debut campaign in North London, according to Tom Barclay.
Tottenham signed Odobert for £32m from Burnley last summer, and the North London club believe the 20-year-old still has plenty of time to improve.
Odobert suffered a bad hamstring injury, which sidelined him for several months, and it’s clear this impacted his performances after he returned.
Initially, Odobert showed promising signs, but he ended the 2024/25 campaign with just three goals in 21 matches for Spurs.
Barclay told his YouTube channel: “Wilson Odobert, who, along with (Mathys) Tel, has played pretty well by all accounts at the Under-21 Euros.
“He was someone who, barring that AZ Alkmaar home game where he scored his first couple of goals for Spurs, we didn’t really see the best of because of his hamstring injuries. But he’s definitely someone that they aren’t in any way giving up on and have high hopes for.”
Odobert impressed for France U-21 at the European Championships in Slovakia over the summer, and there is hope he can continue that form for the upcoming campaign.
Tottenham’s impressive attacking options
Following the imminent arrival of Mohamed Kudus at Tottenham, Frank’s attack is nicely starting to take shape, with many impressive options.
Kudus is set to sign for Tottenham in a deal worth around £55 million, with his medical expected to take place on Thursday.
The North London club appear to have learned their lesson from last season of leaving themselves short in terms of squad depth.
Frank might need to consider selling a few, especially with TBR Football revealing that Tottenham are targeting a move for Yoane Wissa from Brentford.
The former Brentford boss wants to bring the 28-year-old with him to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as an alternative option to Dominic Solanke.
