Mathys Tel has become Tottenham's first signing of the Thomas Frank era and while he could be fully unleashed, another transfer completed recently is perfect for the Dane.
Spurs officially confirmed Frank as their new head coach from Brentford on Thursday and just over 72 hours later, another statement was released announcing the permanent arrival of Tel. The buy-option in his six-month loan from Bayern Munich was £45.7million (€55m), but Spurs have been able to purchase him for £29.7million (€35m).
Even with Tel joining, Spurs want to sign another winger and further additions are also expected in other areas of the pitch with a defensive midfielder one priority. If Atletico Madrid target Cristian Romero departs, a replacement at centre-back should come in.
Talks with Frank regarding his future and that of club captain's Son Heung-min is expected imminently as he is also one player that could depart. The South Korea international has just one year remaining on his contract.
On the training ground meanwhile, his immediate focus will be on getting the best out of the current group. A number of players will surely benefit from Frank's hands-on coaching approach along with his attacking tactics that saw Brentford score 66 Premier League goals last season - more than Chelsea and Aston Villa.
Despite their poor season, Spurs managed just two fewer with Brennan Johnson as their top scorer on 11. A further seven arrived in all competitions for the Welshman with one of those securing the Europa League.
Minus his goals, Johnson endured a difficult campaign but that a repeat of that may not happen under Frank. Just before Spurs swooped in to sign him from Nottingham Forest in a £47.5million deal, Brentford saw several bids rejected with one of those a club-record £40million offer.
To put in such an attempt clearly showed that Frank wanted him at the Gtech Community Stadium. While very different players, seeing how Bryan Mbeumo has thrived at right wing for Brentford, Johnson has the potential to reach similar heights under Frank.
The majority of his goals have come from being in the right place at the right time and if Frank can make that a more dangerous weapon while also developing his general play out wide, Tottenham could have one hell of a player on their hands.
