Thomas Frank will hope to begin a new era at Tottenham after their Premier League struggles under Ange Postecoglou.
Spurs sacked the ex-Celtic boss despite winning the Europa League as they finished 17th in the English top flight.
Daniel Levy must now build a competitive team for Frank at the North London outfit, and that will undoubtedly require some outgoings this summer.
Alejo Veliz wants Rosario Central transfer as Tottenham look for options
Alejo Veliz, who spent last season at Espanyol, “will do everything in his power” to return to Rosario Central this summer, a member of the Argentine outfit’s leadership says.
Central want to sign the 21-year-old on loan with a fee, but the North London outfit haven’t shown any interest in the proposal yet.

The Torneo Betano outfit are willing to wait to get a deal over the line for the Argentine centre-forward, who is convinced a move back to the Estadio Gigante de Arroyito is the right next step for his career.
Speaking to Pagina 12 (21 June), a member of Central’s leadership said: “Veliz will do everything in his power to secure a return to Central. He’s convinced that returning to the club now is the best option for his career, and that’s crucial to our aspirations. But we’ll have to wait until July to hear any news.”
Veliz was expected to be the next big thing at Tottenham, but the youngster has failed to live up to expectations in North London, and a move away seems to be his best option.
Frank needs major attacking overhaul as Richarlison transfer also possible at Tottenham
Richarlison’s future at Spurs is uncertain this summer after struggling with fitness issues last season.
Everton have been linked with the Brazil international, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him return to the Toffees in the coming weeks.
Tottenham relied on Dominic Solanke to lead the line in the previous campaign, but the former Bournemouth centre-forward had an underwhelming debut campaign.
Frank has some major changes to make at Spurs after Postecoglou’s uncompromising style of play in N17.
The North London outfit could sanction a massive squad overhaul for the former Brentford boss, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see a new number nine walk through the door.
While Mathys Tel’s signing has been made permanent, he’s still young and has a lot to learn, giving Tottenham an incentive to sign a proven goalscorer this summer.
Son Heung-min could also be allowed to leave towards the end of the ongoing transfer window, and it will be interesting to see what Frank has in store for the South Korean ace.
Veliz may not have the opportunity to play enough minutes at Spurs, and his situation will be one to keep an eye on.
