Tottenham fans are again at odds with the club as the Lilywhites still await new faces this summer.
There has been plenty of positive media coming out of North London recently, with Daniel Levy appearing in a rare interview in which he doubled down on his commitment to improving the first team.
Tottenham have been linked with numerous high-calibre players this summer, especially from within the Premier League. However, they are yet to bring in a fresh face, with the permanent signings of Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso – who both spent last season on loan with Spurs – their only completed deals.
Spurs have a history of missing out on top targets and settling for so-called good deals instead, which Tottenham fans fear is happening again after recent transfer developments.
Tottenham show interest in Timothy Weah
It is no secret that Thomas Frank is looking to add to Tottenham’s front line, with Antoine Semenyo and Bryan Mbeumo emerging as targets.
MORE SPURS STORIES
However, as reported by Footmercato (19 June), Spurs have also sounded out Juventus forward Timothy Weah, and lead the chase to sign the Paris Saint-Germain academy product along with Everton.
The 25-year-old has had mixed fortunes since joining the Old Lady, where he has struggled to lock down a regular starting spot despite making over 40 appearances last season.
He is currently competing in the Club World Cup with the Italian side and is expected to be a big part of Mauricio Pochettino’s USA team next summer.
Weah is known for his pace and versatility, having played in a handful of different positions last season, but is not a signing the Lilywhites are excited about.
The Spurs faithful took to X to make their feelings known, with one fan going as far as calling the Brooklyn-born attacker a “fraud”.
Tottenham should stick to Premier League model
Tottenham have had mixed success in bringing in players from foreign leagues in recent years
Lucas Bergvall has proven that due diligence can lead to excellent signings, but the club are still haunted by the unfortunate acquisitions of Bryan Gil and Tanguy Ndombele, who ultimately cost Spurs dearly.
While Premier League players come at a higher premium, Spurs’ main objective next season is to stabilise and perform at a higher level consistently across all competitions, and for that, they should sign players physically adept for the challenge.
