Tottenham are planning to bolster their midfield unit in the summer.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League form has shown little sign of promise as interim boss Igor Tudor continues to struggle at N17. The Lilywhites are languishing in the bottom half of the table, and fears of relegation have intensified within the fanbase after the 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest last weekend.
Spurs let go of the opportunity to strengthen their squad in the winter transfer window. By signing just Conor Gallagher and Souza, they overlooked the glaring problems in the squad. The most pressing concern within the squad remains the lack of a quality ball-carrier in midfield. For some time now, the North Londoners have struggled to progress the ball from deeper areas and control the tempo of games.
The injury crisis at White Hart Lane has not helped Tudor’s cause either, as the Croat has found it difficult to name a consistent first XI that includes a natural and effective ball-carrier. Thus, it comes as little surprise that Tottenham are already looking to strengthen their midfield in the summer.
Tottenham receive boost in the pursuit of Eintracht Frankfurt star
Transfer news guru Fabrizio Romano recently revealed that Eintracht Frankfurt are expected to field offers for Hugo Larsson, with clubs in the Premier League and La Liga having already made approaches to the German outfit for the player.
Hugo Larsson, who was heavily linked with a move to Spurs in 2025, played a key role in Eintracht Frankfurt’s qualification to the Champions League last season. However, he has been a part of the Eintracht Frankfurt side that has disappointed massively this season. The youngster has endured an up-and-down season, with illness affecting his availability.
The Swedish talent has struggled to match his earlier Frankfurt form. He has chipped in with a goal and an assist in 29 appearances. Yet, Larsson, who plays a bit like Rodri, has attracted interest from several Premier League and La Liga clubs.
In a recent interview, he has hinted at leaving the Bundesliga club in the summer and taking the next step in his career. Asked about his future, Larsson told Swedish radio TZ:
“I’m curious to try something new. I’m aware of what’s happening behind the scenes.
“We’ll see if anything concrete comes of it this summer.”
Tottenham could test Frankfurt’s resolve for Larsson
Spurs have struggled all season to control games and create opportunities from the middle of the park. The likes of James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, not participating this season at all due to injuries, have mightily affected Tottenham’s engine room.
There is no denying that Larsson is one of the most exciting young talents in European football right now. Even though he has had an inconsistent campaign, marred by illness and injury issues, the Swede’s potential is high and would improve a team like Tottenham. The 21-year-old can pick out passes from deep, progress the ball, break up opposition’s play and chip in with goals from midfield.
Larsson appears to be a player who will be in high demand in the summer. If Tottenham manage to preserve its top-flight status, they must test Frankfurt’s resolve for their star midfielder.
