Tottenham have made a dream start to life under Thomas Frank, but the Dane isn’t resting on his laurels in the summer transfer window.

Tottenham’s 2-0 win over Manchester City saw them take maximum points from their opening two matches and lay down a marker on their ambitions.

After a disappointing 17th-place finish in 2024/25, supporters are hopeful that the arrival of Frank will deliver them a European finish at the very least this term.

However, despite making a brilliant start in the Premier League with some favourable fixtures on the horizon, Tottenham are planning more moves in the transfer window.

Tottenham submit £43m bid for Nico Paz

Following the injury to James Maddison, Spurs have been on the hunt for a new attacking midfielder, something that has caused them heartache thus far.

Tottenham were closing in on Eberechi Eze before he secured his dream move to Arsenal, while West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta has emerged on Spurs’ radar.

Frank is mainly scouring the Premier League for a new number 10, although interest in Como youngster Nico Paz suggests they’re willing to look abroad.

It was revealed on Sunday morning that Tottenham have made an approach for Paz, and now, Sky Sports Italia has reported that a £43million bid has been submitted for the 20-year-old.

Sadly, Como have already indicated that they want €70m (£60m) for the Argentine, with Tottenham currently far away from that valuation.

What Lionel Messi has said about Nico Paz

Paz is a playmaker capable of unlocking opponents using his low centre of gravity and creative talents, something Spurs could use in the final third.

Lionel Messi is also a huge fan of Paz, which demonstrates what an incredible player he is, with the 39-year-old praising saying: “Nico Paz has an incredible mindset, and that’s why he’s where he is,” he stated.

“Nico has a lot of quality and understands the game perfectly.”

If Tottenham are willing to meet Como’s valuation of the Argentine metronome, he could offer them a quality creative spark in attack.
