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.

Manchester United remain in pole position for Bryan Mbeumo despite Tottenham’s record-breaking bid for the Brentford star.

Just yesterday, it was revealed that Tottenham Hotspur have stepped up their pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo, with reports suggesting that Spurs have submitted a bid for Mbeumo.

It is understood to be a £70 million offer, with Tottenham proposing to pay £65 million upfront and a further £5 million in add-ons, which is £10 million more than Manchester United’s reported £55 million plus £5 million package.

Tottenham are believed to be in the market for a marquee signing this summer, and with the Lilywhites reportedly willing to offer a fee that would quite literally make Mbeumo their most expensive signing in history, it is clear they have identified him as their priority target.

Tottenham face competition from Manchester United for Bryan Mbeumo

However, while an offer has been made to Brentford, Tottenham still have their work cut out for them, as new reports suggest that securing Mbeumo’s services this summer will be far from straightforward.

Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg has now confirmed that Spurs‘ interest in Mbeumo is genuine, with the club, under new manager Thomas Frank, attempting to convince the Brentford winger to make the move to north London.

Yet it is said that Manchester United have already entered into negotiations with Brentford, and that Mbeumo has given his approval to the move, with a verbal agreement reportedly already in place with United.

Spurs fall behind in Mbeumo pursuit due to wage demands

It was reported a few days ago that while Tottenham do have an interest in signing Mbeumo, the sticking point for Spurs may be in agreeing on personal terms with Bryan Mbeumo.

Manchester United are understood to be offering a wage package that would see Mbeumo earn well in excess of £200,000 per week, while Tottenham are prepared to offer £150,000 a week.

If personal terms have indeed already been agreed with the winger, then it likely points to Tottenham being unwilling to meet the player’s demands, while United have shown they are ready to do so.

Tottenham Hotspur appear to be edging closer to a deal for Mathys Tel, as fresh reports suggest the French youngster could be set for a permanent switch to north London.

Only a few weeks ago, Tottenham Hotspur announced that they would be parting ways with four players, whose contracts are set to expire at the end of June.

Interestingly, Mathys Tel and Ben Davies were left out of that list, with the latter, Davies, having now received a one-year contract extension from Tottenham.

Tel, on the other hand, was expected to return to FC Bayern Munich following his six-month loan spell, but with Tottenham leaving him off their official list of players set to depart the club, speculation surrounding the youngster’s future has only intensified.

Tottenham close to permanent Mathys Tel transfer

It has been well reported by several outlets that Tottenham are looking to keep Mathys Tel in north London, but they are not willing to pay the £45 million option included in his initial winter loan deal.

Instead, the club are attempting to negotiate a lower fee for the winger, with a figure in the region of £30 million being floated.

In fact, Bayern Munich’s director of sport recently confirmed that conversations are ongoing with Tottenham regarding a deal for the French youngster, though he declined to delve into the specifics of those talks.

Now, a fresh report from Bild states that Mathys Tel is on the verge of joining Tottenham on a permanent basis. It is claimed that securing the winger’s services permanently has always been the plan, and that Thomas Frank is keen to retain him for the long term.

Spurs fans will be delighted as Mathys Tel deal nears completion

It is said that advanced negotiations between FC Bayern Munich and Tottenham continue, with Spurs looking to pay a €35 million (£29.6 million) fixed fee, while the €10 million (£8.5 million) loan fee has already been paid.

Once an agreement has been reached, Mathys Tel is expected to sign a long-term contract, with the deal already believed to be in its final stages and close to completion.

Spurs fans have since made their feelings clear about the prospect of signing Tel permanently, with many urging the club not to trigger the original £45 million option to buy.

Instead, supporters have consistently insisted on a cut-price deal, and this latest development will certainly be welcomed by them.
