Spurs Web

In what comes as a huge transfer development, a new report has now revealed Destiny Udogie could ask to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer, amidst interest from a Serie A club.

In his second season in North London, Udogie failed to hit the heights that he did in his debut campaign at Spurs, but the Italian did have a strong end to the season, playing a key role in Tottenham’s march to Europa League glory.

Earlier this summer, Udogie was linked with a move to Man City, but Pep Guardiola’s men have since signed Rayan Ait Nouri from Wolves.

Some sources from Italy have claimed over recent weeks that AC Milan could turn their attention to Udogie as they aim to strengthen at left-back this summer, and a fresh update has now revealed how the Tottenham Hotspur man feels about a move to the San Siro.

Destiny Udogie is open to swapping Tottenham for AC Milan

TBR Football have now backed up Milan’s interest in the Spurs left-back and consequently, they say that the 22-year-old is tempted by the chance to work with Massimiliano Allegri at the San Siro.

Udogie is said to find the project at Milan ‘appealing’ but Spurs would rather not sell the defender this summer.

The feeling at Hotspur Way is that the Italy international will continue developing and could take his game to a new level under Thomas Frank.

However, it is asserted that should the Rossoneri push ahead with a move for Udogie, the Danish coach will have work to do to convince the full-back to stay at Spurs.

Milan are also looking at a Tottenham Hotspur target

TBR Football say that Udogie is not the only candidate that Allegri’s men are eyeing for the left-back role, with Oleksandr Zinchenko also on their radar.

While the Ukrainian has only one year left on his contract at the Emirates Stadium, his wages will make a deal ‘tricky’ for Milan.

Interestingly, it is alleged that the Italian giants are also admirers of Fulham’s Antonee Robinson but his price might be too high this summer.

Thomas Frank is set to bring a more opponent-specific tactical edge to Tottenham, with coaching responsibilities clearly defined and analysis at the heart of his approach.

Thomas Frank has finalised his backroom staff ahead of the 2025/26 campaign, and his structure marks a departure from what was in place under former boss Ange Postecoglou.

There is now a more segmented approach at Tottenham, with each coach expected to focus on a specific area of the team, offering clearer roles and responsibilities.

In fact, in a recent interview, both Thomas Frank and technical director Johan Lange outlined the individual duties of the newly assembled coaching unit, as they looked to walk fans through some of the behind-the-scenes planning at Tottenham ahead of the new season.

Among those who have joined Frank’s coaching team is Joe Newton, who followed the Dane from Brentford. Newton is expected to operate as a coach analyst, and Frank has already laid out how he intends to use him as part of a more dynamic and fluid approach that will change depending on the opponent.

Thomas Frank explains Tottenham analysis structure with Joe Newton’s role

One of Thomas Frank’s trademarks is his ability to adapt his side tactically depending on the opponent, rather than rigidly sticking to a single system. That was a key feature of his Brentford teams, and it appears he is set to bring that same flexibility to Tottenham.

The Dane, now fully in charge of Spurs, has expanded on how he will implement tweaks through analysis depending on who the team is facing. At the centre of this approach is Joe Newton, who will act as the vital link between the analyst team and the coaching staff.

Speaking to football.london, Frank said: “So in the analysis front, we also got Joe Newton in who came from Brentford as well and he will be like a coach analyst.

“So he will be the bridge between the analyst team and the coaching staff so we make sure that everything is aligned in terms of training, matches, debrief pre and post-match and how we prepare for the opponent.

“But just as in as much and how we debrief the game because it is the way we play, our principles, that is the most important thing, but with the twists we use or how we tweak it to the opponent.”

Spurs hoping for brighter season under Thomas Frank

It does look like exciting times for Tottenham Hotspur, as the club looks to get back to competing with some of the best in the Premier League and in Europe.

Last season, Spurs finished in a lowly 17th place, and now the expectation is that Frank can get Tottenham back into the top six, while also performing well in other competitions, including the UEFA Champions League.

Steve Caulker, a former Tottenham defender, described Frank as a brilliant manager and stated that he believes the upcoming season under the Dane will be exciting, as he believes Frank has earned the right to be the manager of a top club.

Tottenham Hotspur’s revenue is expected to grow substantially next year due to their participation in the Champions League, but the club are still expected to be in a negative cash balance, owing to their transfer spending.

Tottenham have posted cumulative operating losses of £232m over the last three financial years, despite generating one of the highest turnovers across the Premier League.

This is primarily due to the club’s transfer spending, with Spurs having accumulated a transfer debt of £280m over the past few years.

That is why Daniel Levy warned a few months ago that Tottenham cannot continue spending beyond their means, but the club’s situation has improved as a result of their qualification for the Champions League.

Spurs turnover is expected to rise by over £120m next season

TBR Football have now pointed out that for the financial year ending £528m, Tottenham Hotspur had a total turnover of £528m.

Given the continued rise of their commercial and matchday revenue, along with the Champions League income, turnover is expected to hit around £650m next year.

However, given their enormous transfer debt, the outlet says that the North London club will likely have a negative cash balance.

It is pointed out that if Tottenham do secure a deal for Mohammed Kudus, that will already take their summer net spend beyond £100m.

That means that despite Tottenham having one of the lowest wages-to-turnover ratios in the Premier League, they will continue to post revenue losses.

Will ENIC invest funds into Tottenham Hotspur?

ENIC have invested just £122.1m into Tottenham since buying the club in 2001, which amounts to just £5.3m per season, with the club following a self-sustaining model.

However, it was reported last month by BBC Sport that ENIC may be prepared to pump funds into Tottenham, with the shakeup at board level this summer expected to be a prelude to them investing some money into the club.

Mohammed Kudus has broken his silence following his move from West Ham United to Tottenham Hotspur, giving fans an early taste of what to expect from the club’s first big-money summer signing.

Tottenham Hotspur fans have now seen their club complete their first big-money signing of the 2025/26 summer window, with Mohammed Kudus joining from West Ham United for £55million.

The versatile forward, capable of playing across the front line and also as a number ten, has put pen to paper on a six-year deal that is expected to keep him at Hotspur Way until 2031.

This latest acquisition means that Thomas Frank has now overseen the arrival of three players since taking charge of Tottenham on 12 June 2025. Spurs’ summer spending under Frank is now at £89.5 million. However, one of those came in the form of Mathys Tel, who was at Spurs on loan last season.

Mohammed Kudus gives first Tottenham interview after £55m transfer from West Ham

It has since been revealed that despite interest from a host of Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, Mohammed Kudus only ever had eyes for Tottenham.

The recent transfer has left West Ham United supporters frustrated with the club’s hierarchy, as many are struggling to understand how one of their best players was allowed to leave for a relatively modest fee, especially when he had an £85million release clause.

Mohammed Kudus has now become only the sixth player to move from West Ham United to Tottenham in the last 23 years, and the first to do so in over a decade since Scott Parker made the same switch in 2011.

Now officially a Tottenham Hotspur player, Kudus has opened up on his decision to join Spurs, stating that he looks forward to giving his best in the Lilywhite shirt.

Mohammed Kudus told the official Tottenham channel: “I’ve always wanted to play at the highest level. How big the club is, the history, and the Champions League as well. It’s a big moment. I’m finally here. I’m very happy and can’t wait to start.

“The most important part of why I came here is the project and how the manager sees I can develop under him. Where he has come from and seeing the amount of talent he has developed to become great players is a big sign of why I wanted to work under him.

“I’m a very direct winger. Strong, good at taking players on and creating chances. There’s a lot of flair in my game, I like to entertain the fans as well. It’s putting memories in the heads of the fans that they have going back home. Fans are really going to enjoy what I bring to the team. That’s what football is about.

“Using my god-given talent to have an impact on where I come from and change the lives of people in my family as well. It takes a lot of hard work and 24/7 focus to play like this.”

Mohammed Kudus added that he is all about helping his Tottenham teammates: “Every game requires a lot of quality and focus, so I’m just here using my individual ability to help the team as far as we can. I’m very team-oriented, so my personal goals lies around helping the team get as many points as we can.”

Kudus to begin pre-season work with Spurs under Thomas Frank

With Kudus now in north London, it should not take long for the Ghana international to begin work with Thomas Frank and the rest of the Tottenham players during pre-season, having already reported for West Ham’s pre-season training before his move to north London.

However, it remains to be seen whether Mohammed Kudus will feature from the start in Tottenham’s friendly against Reading on 19 July.

If he does not, then he could well be introduced from the bench, giving Spurs supporters their first chance to see the former West Ham man in action in Lilywhite.

Alejo Veliz will return to Rosario Central on loan and one of Argentina’s biggest modern-day stars is excited to play with the Tottenham striker.

After struggling to get regular game time and make the expected impact in his loan spells at Espanyol and Sevilla over the last two seasons, Tottenham Hotspur have decided to send the striker to an environment he is comfortable in.

Spurs have confirmed that Veliz will return to Rosario Central on loan, two years on from swapping the Argentine side for North London.

Tottenham have the option to recall Veliz at the end of 2025, and they have not given Rosario a permanent purchase clause.

Angel Di Maria is excited to play alongside Alejo Veliz

The youngster will be keen to get his career back on track at his boyhood club and he will now get to share the dressing room with one of Argentina’s greatest modern-day stars, Angel Di Maria.

That is something that Veliz will undoubtedly be excited about, but it turns out that Di Maria is just as excited about playing alongside the Tottenham man.

Speaking just before the move became official, the former Real Madrid man told ESPN (via Ole and translated by Sport Witness) about Veliz: “I was talking [to Veliz] while I was coming to the stadium. He told me to send his regards. I told him that if I did, it was because he was coming [back to the club]. He replied that I should send them his regards, ha.

“I’m sure he’s watching me. It would be very nice if he could come back. I know it’s difficult; he’s young and has many offers. For him to have the initiative to want to come back and play with me at Gigante [Estadio Gigante de Arroyito, Rosario’s home stadium] would be very nice.”

Have Tottenham made the right decision regarding Veliz?

One can certainly understand why Veliz wanted to return to home comforts and experience playing alongside a legend like Di Maria.

Spurs perhaps wanted to give the forward what he wanted after he endured two difficult seasons in Europe. However, one can argue that it may have been much better for his development to loan him to a Championship club.

We already know that the 21-year-old can score goals in the Primera Division, and his market value is unlikely to improve considerably should he shine back at Rosario.

Tottenham have officially announced the signing of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United as Thomas Frank bolsters his Europa League-winning front line with another star.

Tottenham Hotspur’s summer business was off to a slow start, but during the past few days, two new signings have come through the door.

On Tuesday, July 8, Spurs announced the signing of 20-year-old Japan international Kota Takai, who joined for a record fee of £5 million, the highest amount ever paid for a J-League player.

Spurs have not stopped there either, as Daniel Levy and his board have gone on to splash the cash on West Ham United winger Mohammed Kudus, making the Ghana international the first player to make a direct switch from West Ham to Tottenham since 2011.

In fact, it might be a classic case of London buses for Tottenham fans, as two big-name signings arrive at once after weeks of waiting. Spurs have Morgan Gibbs-White booked in for a medical on Friday, just 24 hours after Kudus had his at Hotspur Way.

Mohammed Kudus becomes Tottenham’s third summer signing under Thomas Frank

It is official, Tottenham Hotspur have now confirmed that Mohammed Kudus will become the third signing under new head coach Thomas Frank – subject to work permit.

The 24-year-old has completed his switch from West Ham to Spurs after the Hammers accepted Tottenham’s £55 million bid.

Kudus has reportedly put pen to paper on a six-year deal, which is expected to keep him at N17 until 2031. However, in the official announcement, Tottenham just describe it as a ‘long-term deal.’

Tottenham managed to secure the Ghanaian’s signature despite interest from Arsenal, Newcastle United and Chelsea, with Kudus only interested in making the move to Spurs.

The winger, who is capable of playing across multiple positions including right wing, left wing, number ten and centre-forward, now joins Kota Takai and Mathys Tel as the three confirmed summer arrivals for the 2025/26 campaign, taking Spurs’ spending so far to £89.5 million.

Spurs fans react as Kudus joins Tottenham for £55 million

Spurs fans have been left delighted with the latest signing, as some believe that Kudus would improve their attack next season.

West Ham fans, however, have expressed frustration after finding out that Tottenham secured the services of one of their best players for a price well below his £85 million release clause.

Kudus managed a modest return of five goals and three assists in the 2024/25 season, and while that could be attributed to West Ham’s inconsistency last term, Spurs supporters will be hoping he can rediscover the spark that saw him bag eight goals and six assists in his debut Premier League campaign.

Atletico Madrid have grown frustrated at waiting for Tottenham Hotspur to change their mind about Cristian Romero and the La Liga giants have now made a big transfer decision regarding the centre-back.

Regular readers of Spurs Web will be aware that Atletico Madrid have been pushing hard to land Romero over the last few months.

It has been widely reported that Romero is keen on joining Atletico and is not interested in signing a new contract at Tottenham Hotspur.

However, the Lilywhites are not prepared to let the Argentine leave without a fight as Thomas Frank is keen to make Romero one of the central pillars of his side.

Atletico Madrid have given up trying to sign Tottenham’s Cristian Romero

According to a new report in AS, Atletico now realise that Tottenham are not going to sell their vice-captain and have turned their attention to other alternatives.

Diego Simeone’s men have been interested in the Argentine for a long time and made a formal approach for him some time ago, especially after finding out that the defender is keen on making a move to the Metropolitano Stadium.

Tottenham told Atletico a few weeks ago categorically that they will not be selling Romero and informed the Spanish side not to make any formal offer.

Spurs’ stance has not changed and the La Liga side have now ‘shelved’ their plan to land the World Cup winner as they are tired of waiting.

The outlet says that Romero will not be wearing the red and white shirt next season, and Atletico’s recruitment team have already started working on signing other alternatives as they are keen to add a centre-back to their squad.

This is because Daniel Levy has no intention of parting ways with the centre-back, who he sees as one of the stars of this Tottenham side.

Romero is back in Spurs pre-season training

The international players, including Romero, have now reported for pre-season training, with Thomas Frank having a full squad to work with.

Some sources have said over recent weeks that Romero could agitate for a move to Atletico if the Premier League side and the Spanish club are not able to agree on a deal.

We will thus surely find out over the next few days if the centre-back indeed demands a transfer or if this proposed move to Atletico this summer is well and truly dead.

Thomas Frank has met his Tottenham squad and has now shared his thoughts on pre-season training on the grass and what he expects from each player.

It is straight down to business at Hotspur Way, as Thomas Frank and his coaching staff begin pre-season training ahead of what is set to be a rigorous 25/26 campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur endured a horrid season last term in the Premier League, as Ange Postecoglou led the Lilywhites to what is their worst ever top-flight campaign statistically, but still somehow managed to make Spurs European champions.

While the European silverware serves as a bit of positive for Thomas Frank and his staff, there is no doubt that there is still much work to be done, as Tottenham look to improve on their 17th place finish in the league and also compete in Europe’s premier competition – the Champions League.

Thomas Frank meets Tottenham players and reacts to first training session

We reported a few days back that some of Tottenham Hotspur’s first-team stars have returned to pre-season training.

In fact, 19 players have begun to be put through their paces ahead of the upcoming season and the five pre-season friendlies that have been scheduled between now and August.

With new head coach Thomas Frank having now met with some of his Tottenham players, he has revealed what his first impression of the opening training session was.

According to the 51-year-old, the first session on the grass was fun and positive. He also stated that he has been very happy.

Thomas Frank told the official Tottenham channel: “Yeah, it has been good. We had the first session on the grass today. There were a lot of tests on Saturday. It has been good to have them out there.

“That is the fun bit. That is where we try to affect things. Good effort, good mentality. Yeah, happy.”

Frank outlines vision as Spurs await full squad return

Of course, with about 19 players in training, several others are missing. It has been reported that 16 other Spurs stars are yet to return to pre-season training, and that is because of their involvement with their national teams during the off-season.

Interestingly, Dominic Solanke sent a rather funny message to Wilson Odobert, who is yet to return to training, urging the youngster who featured in France’s under-21 European Championship run to the semi-final to return to training.

While Thomas Frank waits to meet up with his entire Tottenham squad, he has also revealed what he expects from his group, stating that he wants each member of the team to work together.

He said: “It needs to be people who understand that we are a unit and we need to work hard together. And yes, I know half of the coaching group, the other half I don’t know, but we need to work on that relationship. That’s an ongoing process.

“So hopefully, when we know each other well, we know how we work together, how we are aligned, and then we can up to a very well-run engine that just delivers every day.”

Fabrizio Romano’s latest update will assuage Tottenham fans’ fears of losing Cristian Romero to Atletico Madrid, with the Italian transfer expert making it clear that the Lilywhites’ hardline stance on their vice-captain has not changed.

Various Spanish outlets have reported over recent weeks that Atletico Madrid are continuing to push to land Romero, with the centre-back remaining at the top of Diego Simeone’s summer wishlist.

According to various sources, Daniel Levy is prepared to make Romero the highest-paid player at Tottenham to make him stay, but that may not be enough.

The World Cup winner has allegedly made up his mind to move to the Metropolitano Stadium and it has been alleged that Romero will inform Levy that he wants to join Atletico when he returns for pre-season.

Tottenham maintain that Cristian Romero is not for sale

Fabrizio Romano has now taken to social media to state that the Lilywhites have not opened the door for the centre-back’s departure yet.

Tottenham Hotspur are continuing to maintain that they see the former Juventus man as a key player and their talks with Simeone’s men have not been advanced.

In fact, Romano adds that so far, Atletico are yet to launch any official offer for Cristian Romero, nor have they agreed on personal terms with the Argentine.

There is no doubt that the Spurs head coach will try and convince the centre-back to stay, with reports indicating that Frank wants Romero to become a lynchpin of his Tottenham side.

Tottenham could be forced to break their transfer record this summer as they plot a big-money move for a Premier League star who lit up the league last season.

It was reported before the opening of the summer window that Tottenham were looking to bring in a marquee signing this summer.

So far, those reports look to be true, as Mohammed Kudus is set to join Tottenham for £55 million on a six-year deal, and now it is claimed that Tottenham are eyeing the signing of another Premier League star, Morgan Gibbs White.

The Nottingham Forest man impressed last season, grabbing 17 goal contributions with seven goals and ten assists in 34 Premier League appearances, making him one of the most sought-after players in a Forest side that performed beyond expectations, finishing seventh and earning a spot in the Conference League.

Tottenham could break transfer record for Morgan Gibbs White

It is understood that Thomas Frank is a big admirer of Morgan Gibbs White, and that Tottenham have begun talks with Nottingham Forest over a move for the 25-year-old.

The Telegraph have now reported exactly how much Tottenham would be expected to pay if they are to sign the Englishman this summer.

It is claimed that after losing Anthony Elanga to Newcastle United this summer for £55 million, Nottingham Forest would be looking to demand a fee of over £60 million for Gibbs White.
