Tottenham Hotspur's transfer plans include the signing of another new winger, as chairman Daniel Levy looks to back Thomas Frank this summer with more fresh faces in preparation for their journey back to the Champions League.
Spurs, despite a torrid 2024/2025 domestically, where they lost a record-breaking 22 Premier League games, have suddenly found themselves among Europe's most elite next term after their historic Europa League final triumph last month.
This has suddenly exacerbated the need for Levy and technical director Johan Lange to reinforce weaker areas of the squad.
Tottenham have already signed Mathys Tel in a £30 million permanent deal from Bayern Munich, whilst also sealing a £5 million agreement for Japanese sensation Kota Takai, but Frank may find himself in need of more wide attackers very soon.
Timo Werner's return to parent club RB Leipzig, combined with Son Heung-min's potential move to Saudi Arabia, could leave their new manager pretty short of quality wingers, even when taking into account Tel's stay.
Man City outcast Jack Grealish, Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, Southampton sensation Tyler Dibling and Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo are just some of the names to be linked with moves to N17 recently, with Frank also recommending Lazio winger Gustav Isaksen to the Spurs hierarchy.
Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze also remains high on Tottenham's radar, as per reports this week, but interest is also still firmly there when it comes to a possible swoop for West Ham's Mohammed Kudus.
Tottenham plan bid for Mohammed Kudus after talks in the last week
According to journalist Graeme Bailey, writing for TBR, the Ghanaian is a serious option, and West Ham would be prepared to sell their star winger for a fee north of £60 million.
Tottenham have apparently held talks with Kudus in the last week, and Frank's side are now thinking about making a bid for the ex-Ajax star after these discussions. His release clause is actually around £80 million, but given West Ham's need to sell, they've reduced his asking price by a significant amount as they look to raise funds and reshape Graham Potter's squad.
Chelsea are noted as contenders for Kudus too, but they're yet to go back in with a bid after seeing their proposal for a player-exchange rejected earlier in the window.
The 24-year-old didn't exactly hit the heights of his debut campaign in east London during his second season, but he still ranked as one of the best dribblers in the Premier League per 90, according to WhoScored.
Kudus can be a truly devastating player on his day, as echoed by his teammate, Aaron Cresswell, in 2024.
"I've just trained with him and you don't want to go anywhere near him," Cresswell told the Iron Cast.
"I'm up against him all the time and I'm like: 'Mo, go on over to the left!'. He's a top, top talent and I think we haven't seen the best of him yet.
"I won't go near him in training because I know if I'm going to try to knock him off the ball I had better make sure he's not looking and doesn't see me coming. You just can't get near him. He's so strong, so quick, so sharp."
