Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly completed the basics of a deal to sign a young Italian starlet who has been making waves in Serie A.

Thomas Frank will have his work cut out as Tottenham boss as he begins work at Hotspur Way, and his first order of business would be to oversee a mini-rebuild as he aims to get the club back up the Premier League table.

The Dane has an excellent record of working with and developing young players, which is perhaps the reason why the Lilywhites decided to appoint him as Ange Postecoglou’s replacement.

Over recent days, we have heard that Tottenham have been scouting several youngsters in the European U21 Championship, including Roma midfielder Niccolo Pisilli, and some big news has now broken regarding their pursuit of the 20-year-old.

Tottenham agree basics of a deal to sign Niccolo Pisilli

Journalist Sebastien Vidal has now taken to social media to reveal that Spurs have now struck the basics of an agreement with AS Roma for the potential transfer of Pisilli.

The youngster has been one of the brightest young talents on show in Serie A lately and was even rewarded with his first cap for the senior Italian side in their 2-2 draw with Belgium last year.

Vidal says that landing Pisilli is part of Tottenham’s strategy to recruit young talent and adds that the final details of the agreement will be hashed out at the end of the U21 Euros.

He wrote: ‘Tottenham have finalised the basics of a deal for Niccolo Pisilli. The young AS Roma midfielder, a rising star in Serie A and a standout at the U21 Euros, is targeted by the Spurs as part of their strategy to recruit young talents. Deal to watch after the tournament…’

Tottenham fans are frustrated with the club’s transfer strategy

With the Lilywhites securing Champions League qualification, fans would have hoped to see the club’s transfer policy change this summer.

Many Spurs supporters have demanded that the club sign proven performers rather than talented youngsters, like they have been over the past few years.

However, the Tottenham recruitment team will argue that it is not an either/or, and point out that the club’s acquisition of Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray and Luka Vuskovic have proven to be masterstrokes.

Tottenham Hotspur have foiled an attempt by a club to sign one of their young guns on loan, and the Lilywhites have made it clear the conditions under which they will let the player leave this summer.

While there has been a lot said and written about the potential incomings at Tottenham this summer under Thomas Frank, there are also expected to be a few exits from the club as the Dane puts his imprint on the squad.

Frank reportedly wants to add more firepower to his forward line, and that means that some of the Spurs forwards may be sacrificed.

It has been reported that Richarlison could be on his way out of Tottenham this summer, but another South American striker could also follow the Brazilian out of the door.

Tottenham turn down loan offer for Alejo Veliz

Alejo Veliz has not fared well since his move to Europe two years ago, with the Tottenham Hotspur forward struggling for regular game time during his loan spells at Sevilla and Espanyol.

The Lilywhites are thus faced with a big decision on the 21-year-old and it has emerged over recent days that Rosaria Central want to re-sign Veliz from Spurs.

However, journalist Uriel Iugt has now taken to social media to reveal that Rosaria’s attempts to land Veliz on loan have been foiled.

He claims that the Argentine club made a loan offer for the Tottenham man, which was turned down by the North London club, who made it clear that they would only entertain a permanent sale.

Veliz is also wanted by two other Argentine clubs

Rosaria are not the only ones chasing the forward, with reports indicating that Boca Juniors and River Plate are also keen on landing Veliz.

In fact, it has been alleged that both Boca and River have contacted the Spurs striker’s representatives to speak about a potential return to his home country.

Tottenham Hotspur are expected to make moves in key areas across the pitch ahead of Thomas Frank’s first season in charge, but they are currently unaware if they will need a replacement for Cristian Romero after putting a huge price tag on the centre-back.

Since Frank’s appointment was confirmed two days ago, it appears that Tottenham Hotspur are wasting no time in pushing ahead with moves for their transfer targets.

Over the last 24 hours, we have heard that Spurs have submitted a big-money offer for Bryan Mbeumo, with the Lilywhites battling Man United for the Brentford man’s services.

It would appear that the North Londoners’ priority is to strengthen their attack, as we have also seen reports that Tottenham have signalled their intent to move for Antonio Semenyo.

No club has shown a willingness to meet Tottenham’s asking price for Cristian Romero

BBC Sport have now said that Spurs are currently prioritising adding experience in central midfield and central defence ahead of their first season under Frank.

It is explained that their interest in signing a centre-back is directly tied to the doubts over Romero’s future, with Atletico Madrid still circling over the Argentine.

However, interestingly, it is alleged that Tottenham want a whopping £70m for the 27-year-old even though he has only two years left on his contract.

So far, no club has signalled an intention to meet Spurs’ asking price for the World Cup winner, according to this latest update.

Tottenham may face a tricky decision regarding Cristian Romero

According to reports over recent weeks, Tottenham have not given up hope of tying Romero to a new contract.

However, with Romero sending a cryptic message about his unhappiness at the dismissal of Ange Postecoglou, it remains to be seen if the centre-back will agree to a contract extension.

If he refuses to do so, Spurs will be faced with a difficult choice and might be forced to bring down their asking price for the former Juventus man.

Tottenham’s new assistant first-team coach Justin Cochrane is over the moon to return to Hotspur Way, the place where his coaching journey started more than a decade and a half ago.

Tottenham fans are excited about the start of the new era under Thomas Frank, and Daniel Levy has managed to bring Frank’s A-team along with him from Brentford.

The Dane’s right-hand man, Cochrane, who was reportedly in line to replace Frank at Brentford, has followed him to Spurs.

The 43-year-old began his coaching career as an academy coach at Hotspur Way before going on to coach England’s youth sides.

He also spent a brief spell as Man United’s director of development before joining as Frank’s assistant at the Gtech Community Stadium three years ago.

Justin Cochrane happy to return to Tottenham after 16 years

Cochrane is now one of the most highly thought of and decorated coaches in the English game, but that was not the case when he first got started at Tottenham Hotspur.

The new Spurs assistant coach has now taken to social media to reflect on his long journey and admitted that he cannot wait to get started back at Hotspur Way.

The former Brentford assistant coach is determined to repay the Lilywhites for helping him get started on his coaching journey.

Cochrane shares similarities between Thomas Frank and Mauricio Pochettino

In the English coach, Tottenham now have someone who is well aware of the club’s ethos, with Cochrane admitting that the emphasis on attacking football at Spurs has stayed with him throughout his coaching career.

Cochrane also previously likened Frank to Pochettino for his ability to understand what makes players tick and get the best out of him.

As speculation continues to swirl over the future of Cristian Romero, Fabrizio Romano has provided the latest regarding Tottenham’s plans for the centre-back this summer.

The Tottenham vice-captain has two years left on his contract, but his future remains up in the air.

According to reports, Atletico Madrid are expected to push ahead with a move for Romero, who is thought to be keen on linking up with Diego Simeone at the Spanish capital.

Romero sent a cryptic message signalling his unhappiness a few days ago, with the centre-back waiting until Tottenham hired Thomas Frank to praise his predecessor, Ange Postecoglou.

Fabrizio Romano reveals what he knows about Cristian Romero at Tottenham

According to reports, Tottenham have not given up hope of tying Romero to a new contract this summer.

It has been suggested that Spurs hope that Champions League football and a significant pay rise would convince Romero to stay at the club.

It remains to see how the arrival of Thomas Frank affects the situation, but Romano has now confirmed that the Lilywhites will try their hardest to hang onto their vice-captain.

When asked about Romero’s future, the journalist told GiveMeSport: “Quiet situation now, I think Spurs will really try their best to keep him at least for this season.”

Spurs are making contingency plans in case they lose Romero

While Spurs would ideally want to keep the World Cup winner, Frank would also not want a player who is not enthusiastic to be part of his project at N17.

According to reports over recent days, Tottenham have identified a Serie A-winning centre-back as a replacement for Romero should the 27-year-old push for an exit.

One senior Tottenham star, who started the Europa League final in Bilbao, is likely to be sold by the club this summer ahead of the new era under Thomas Frank.

The Danish coach will be an extremely busy man this summer as he has several issues to iron out before his first season in charge of Tottenham Hotspur.

The future of the Tottenham captain is still up in the air, with Heung-min Son set to meet with Frank before deciding whether to leave Spurs.

There is also a big question mark over the club’s vice-captain and star centre-back, with Cristian Romero potentially on his way out of Tottenham.

Tottenham likely to cash in on Richarlison this summer

The Mirror have now claimed that while Frank will be given money to spend, he will also oversee a few player sales this summer as he looks to rebuild the squad.

One of those for whom the Dane is likely to green light an exit is Richarlison, with the club feeling that he has failed to live up to expectations in the three seasons since his £60m move from Everton.

The outlet suggests that a return to the Toffees might be on the cards for the Brazilian this summer ahead of the Merseyside club’s first season in their stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

What does Richarlison want to do this summer?

It was revealed by journalist Ben Jacobs a little over a week ago that Richarlison wants to leave Tottenham in search of regular game time this summer.

However, Jacobs admitted that he had not heard anything of Everton’s interest and suggested that the Brazilian striker might have to leave the Premier League.

Tottenham fans will love what a new report says about the club’s plans for the summer transfer window as the Lilywhites embark on a new era under Thomas Frank.

While the decision to sack Ange Postecoglou was not popular with Spurs fans, most supporters are very excited about the arrival of Frank.

The Dane will now get a chance to show what he can do in a big club with resources after helping Brentford punch above their weight in a big way for a sustained period.

Over recent days, it has been reported that Frank has already held conversations with the Tottenham recruitment team regarding the summer targets, and it turns out that the Lilywhites intend to give him what he wants.

Thomas Frank will be given money to spend this summer

The Mirror have now suggested that the new Tottenham head coach will be given the resources he needs to reshape the squad to fit his ethos ahead of this first season in charge at N17.

The outlet asserts that Frank will be given ‘big money to spend’ this summer as the club undertakes a rebuild after a season which saw them finish just outside the relegation zone.

The Lilywhites are expected to be big spenders, with the club aware that their squad needs reinforcements to cope with the rigours of Champions League football.

Electric Premier League winger is on Thomas Frank’s wishlist

The Mirror backs up what we have heard from other sources over recent weeks by revealing that Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo features prominently on Tottenham’s transfer wishlist this summer.

The 25-year-old is coming off an outstanding campaign at the South Coast in which he scored 13 goals and provided seven assists for Andoni Iraola’s men across all competitions.

We will find out shortly whether Cristian Romero will stay at Tottenham or leave to join Atletico Madrid, with a deadline being set for a final decision from the centre-back on his future.

Despite Tottenham Hotspur getting their hands on the Europa League title and securing qualification for the Champions League, their vice-captain’s future remains up in the air.

Atletico Madrid are expected to push ahead with a move for Romero, with the La Liga side having identified the Tottenham man as the ideal option to bolster their backline.

Tottenham are making efforts to tie Romero to a new contract this summer, but it has also emerged over recent days that Spurs have identified replacements for Romero should the 27-year-old depart the club.

When will Tottenham find out Cristian Romero’s fate?

A new report in GiveMeSport has now claimed that Romero will decide on whether to leave Tottenham by the end of this month.

Atletico have given the 27-year-old some time to make up his mind about his future, but they expect clarity from the player by the end of June.

The La Liga giants are convinced that the Tottenham man is leaning towards an exit from North London, but they are aware that the Premier League side will attempt to tie him down to a new deal.

Romero had told Atletico that he wants to wait to find out who replaces Ange Postecoglou at the helm, and now that Thomas Frank has been appointed, he is expected to decide shortly whether to walk away from Hotspur Way.

However, even if the World Cup winner gives the green light to a move, the Colchoneros would have to pay up £65m to get him out of Spurs.

Spurs’ chances of hanging onto Romero do not seem promising

Just a few days ago, Romero sent a cryptic message signalling his unhappiness, with the centre-back praising Ange Postecoglou immediately after Tottenham announced the arrival of Frank.

Reports from Argentina had previously claimed that Romero will do everything in his power to leave Spurs if Postecoglou is sacked.

Now that Spurs have taken the call to part ways with the Australian, it remains to be seen if they will be able to persuade the former Juventus man to remain at the club.

Tottenham Hotspur look set to be closing in on completing their first piece of transfer business under new head coach Thomas Frank.

Tottenham did not sign any new players during the first part of the summer transfer window which ran between June 1st – June 10th, but with the window reopening on Monday, they are now about to be once again able to conduct their transfer business.

Many Premier League clubs were active in the first part of the transfer window, while Tottenham were busy looking for a new head coach following the decision to sack Ange Postecoglou on his two-year anniversary of taking the job.

A new era began following the appointment of Thomas Frank as Tottenham head coach and the Dane now looks set to have Mathys Tel at his disposal on a permanent basis.

Mathys Tel will sign a long-term Tottenham contract

Mathys Tel is close to joining Tottenham on a permanent transfer following productive talks with Bayern Munich.

The French U21 international initially joined Tottenham on a loan during the winter transfer windown with a view to a permanent transfer.

Tel spoke to Wilson Odobert about joining Spurs prior to his move while also having positive discussions with former boss Ange Postecoglou.

RMC Sport have now revealed that Tel will sign a six-year contract with Tottenham which will run until the summer of 2031.

Last season, Tel scored two goals in 13 league appearances, 11 of which were starts, but was an unused substitute for Spurs’ Europa League final victory over Manchester United.

Tel will look to build on last season

Tel joined Tottenham at a difficult time with the club in the middle of an extensive injury crisis and looks set to now get a full pre-season under his belt with Thomas Frank.

Hopefully, this will give the Frenchman more time to adapt and find his best position, having had to make do with a bit-part role at times under the Australian, especially when Heung-min Son returned to fitness.

According to a new report, Tottenham Hotspur are not merely content raiding Brentford for Bryan Mbeumo but are also working on signing another of the Bees’ star men.

It appeared until a couple of days ago that Mbeumo was heading to Manchester United, but things have seemingly changed following the arrival of Frank at Tottenham.

On Friday, news broke that Spurs had launched an eye-watering £70m offer for Mbeumo to beat the Red Devils to the 25-year-old’s signature.

Tottenham fans are understandably very excited at the possibility of hijacking the Mbeumo deal, and they have now received even better news as it has been claimed that another Bees star is in the sights of the North London club.

Tottenham have held discussions over a move for Yoane Wissa

The Guardian have now said that as things stand, Mbeumo’s preference is to move to Old Trafford but United are yet to launch an improved offer after their initial £55m offer was turned down by Brentford last week.

The report says that Tottenham Hotspur are now optimistic that Frank’s relationship with the Cameroon international can help persuade him to move to N17 instead this summer.

Additionally, it is alleged that Spurs have also held internal discussions over a move for Mbeumo’s striker partner, Yoane Wissa, who scored 19 goals for the Bees last season.

Tottenham allegedly face competition from Nottingham Forest for Wissa after Nuno Espirito Santo’s men failed with a move for the striker in the January window.

The publication adds that the West London club are unlikely to consider offers of less than £40m for the DR Congo international.

Is this evidence that a senior Spurs forward is leaving?

It has been widely reported over recent weeks that Tottenham are expected to listen to offers for Richarlison this summer, even though the Brazilian had a strong end to the season.

If Tottenham do make a move for Wissa, that would potentially serve as confirmation that the Brazilian does not have a future at the club.
