Tottenham continue to make headlines as Daniel Levy accelerates his objectives for this summer.
Spurs’ summer of change does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon – in fact, Levy may have just hit the accelerator.
The Tottenham Chairman has now turned his attention to securing a couple of new signings for head coach Thomas Frank.
And with the new season less than two months away, Spurs have a lot of catching up to do.
Bryan Mbeumo is ready to sign for Tottenham
Tottenham were thought to be second in the battle for Mbeumo’s signature, with it widely reported that he preferred Manchester United.

However, the saga has taken an unexpected turn, with it now appearing that Frank could receive his favoured signing.
As reported by Duncan Castles via The Transfers Podcast on Thursday (19 June), Brentford have now accepted they will need to sell Mbeumo this summer.
United have offered a package worth over £60million, but it is understood that the Bees want £70m for their star forward, who is entering the final year of his contract.
The Sunday Times journalist reports that the 25-year-old could choose Tottenham over the Red Devils if Spurs match Brentford’s asking price.
However, Tottenham will need to act soon, as along with United, Aston Villa and Newcastle are understood to be interested.
Levy makes a personal approach to sign Mohammed Kudus
Levy has added Mohammed Kudus to his list of potential transfers, as he continues his search for a versatile attacker.
As reported by The West Ham Way (19 June), the chairman is understood to have enquired about the 24-year-old.
Kudus’ £85million release clause is above Spurs’ valuation, but the Irons are considering selling their star forward for a smaller fee.
The Lilywhites are looking to complete the deal for around £50m, and Levy is hoping his first offer will encourage the winger to consider the move.
While the Ghanaian failed to replicate his 2023/24 numbers last season, Tottenham will be hoping Frank can unlock him once he arrives.
Tottenham sanctioned for crowd misconduct v Manchester United
Spurs beat Man United four times last season, with the Lilywhites famously claiming a 1-0 victory in the UEFA Europa League final in Bilbao (21 May).
But an incident that occurred in the clash at Old Trafford on 29 September 2024 has had dire consequences for Tottenham.
The North London side were charged by the Football Association over alleged homophobic chanting by their fans during their 3-0 win in Manchester.
The FA have now fined Spurs over the incident after concluding they had failed to ensure their fans behaved respectfully.
In a statement on Thursday (19 June), The FA wrote, “Tottenham Hotspur FC has been fined £75,000 for two breaches of FA Rule E21 in relation to crowd control misconduct at its Premier League match against Manchester United FC on Sunday 29 September 2024.
“Tottenham Hotspur FC admitted both charges, and an independent Regulatory Commission imposed an action plan, £150,000 fine and warning. An independent Appeal Board reduced the fine to £75,000 following an appeal by the club.”
Spurs have always stood for the standards of respect and inclusivity and will likely seek to uphold them moving forward.
