This summer’s transfer window is providing all the usual aches and pains that Spurs fans associate with the thorny business of recruiting new players. Initial deals, including Kevin Danso and Mathys Tel, were bolstered by Yang Min-Hyeok, Luka Vuscovik and Koya Takai. However, Mohammed Kudus has been the only big name so far.
In recent hours, it was announced that the Morgan Gibbs-White deal had collapsed. Judging by the response from fans online, the general mood in the camp has been one of unchecked contempt for the Tottenham board, who had yet again failed to get another move over the line.
Only complete nitwits will have failed to notice what big clubs in the division are doing, and once again, it feels very much as if Spurs are the club that is destined to get left behind.
One factor in all the weeping and wailing here is that Spurs finished in 17th place, and Thomas Frank is looking at pulling us out of the fire next season. There were lots of heartstrings being pulled by players when Big Ange left, but where were those men when we were sleepwalking into a relegation battle? Any players coming in will want to get a sense that things have changed in N17.
🚨 #NUFC set to make a formal bid for Yoane Wissa believed to be in excess of £30m. Spurs also keen and in talks.
Brentford would rather keep Wissa, and quoted Forest £50m+, but player pushing for a move away. Suitors feel a deal can be reached for less.🐝

According to talkSPORT, Tottenham target Yoane Wissa is now disappointed with Brentford and is set to boycott training in order to get a move this summer.
Newcastle United are thought to be keen on the attacker, but with options diminishing by the day, this should prompt Levy & Co to get cracking on.
Spurs didn’t score enough goals last season and conceded too many. The question fans will be asking is, will changing coaches be enough?
