Tottenham Hotspur appear to have lost out on a couple of their key transfer targets and a new report has now shed light on what the feeling is among sources close to the club about their transfer plans this summer.
According to reports, Man United are on the verge of beating Tottenham to Bryan Mbeumo, which will come as a bitter blow to Thomas Frank at the start of his Spurs stint.
Additionally, Frank’s trusted midfielder general, Christian Norgaard is expected to snub Spurs in favour of a move to Arsenal.
It is hardly the start that the Danish coach would have wanted to his stint at N17, with Mathys Tel being the only addition that Tottenham Hotspur have made so far this transfer window.
What sources close to Tottenham are saying about transfer failures
Spurs fans are understandably getting a little impatient at the club’s lack of urgency, especially with pre-season fast approaching.
Flash Score have now claimed that they have spoken to sources close to Tottenham, who privately acknowledge that the early optics of the transfer window are far from ideal.
However, those sources continue to believe that Spurs ‘will do some serious business’ this summer ahead of Frank’s first season in charge.
