Thomas Frank will hope to begin a new era at Tottenham after their Premier League struggles under Ange Postecoglou.

Spurs sacked the ex-Celtic boss despite winning the Europa League as they finished 17th in the English top flight.

Daniel Levy must now build a competitive team for Frank at the North London outfit, and that will undoubtedly require some outgoings this summer.

Alejo Veliz wants Rosario Central transfer as Tottenham look for options

Alejo Veliz, who spent last season at Espanyol, “will do everything in his power” to return to Rosario Central this summer, a member of the Argentine outfit’s leadership says.

Central want to sign the 21-year-old on loan with a fee, but the North London outfit haven’t shown any interest in the proposal yet.

The Torneo Betano outfit are willing to wait to get a deal over the line for the Argentine centre-forward, who is convinced a move back to the Estadio Gigante de Arroyito is the right next step for his career.

Speaking to Pagina 12 (21 June), a member of Central’s leadership said: “Veliz will do everything in his power to secure a return to Central. He’s convinced that returning to the club now is the best option for his career, and that’s crucial to our aspirations. But we’ll have to wait until July to hear any news.”

Veliz was expected to be the next big thing at Tottenham, but the youngster has failed to live up to expectations in North London, and a move away seems to be his best option.

Frank needs major attacking overhaul as Richarlison transfer also possible at Tottenham

Richarlison’s future at Spurs is uncertain this summer after struggling with fitness issues last season.

Everton have been linked with the Brazil international, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him return to the Toffees in the coming weeks.

Tottenham relied on Dominic Solanke to lead the line in the previous campaign, but the former Bournemouth centre-forward had an underwhelming debut campaign.

Frank has some major changes to make at Spurs after Postecoglou’s uncompromising style of play in N17.

The North London outfit could sanction a massive squad overhaul for the former Brentford boss, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see a new number nine walk through the door.

While Mathys Tel’s signing has been made permanent, he’s still young and has a lot to learn, giving Tottenham an incentive to sign a proven goalscorer this summer.

Son Heung-min could also be allowed to leave towards the end of the ongoing transfer window, and it will be interesting to see what Frank has in store for the South Korean ace.

Veliz may not have the opportunity to play enough minutes at Spurs, and his situation will be one to keep an eye on.

Bryan Gil looks set to call time on his Tottenham career after failing to live up to his initial promise.

The Spaniard was Spurs’ most expensive signing ahead of the 2021/22 season, but never managed to get to grips with the physicality of the Premier League.

He has become somewhat of a forgotten man in North London, spending the last two seasons on loan, first at Sevilla and then at Girona.

The 24-year-old has been given an opportunity by multiple managers at Tottenham, but does not look like he will be afforded another chance following a recent transfer update.

Gil headed for the exit door at Spurs

As reported by Football London (16 June), Gil fully expects to leave Tottenham this summer, with the club equally keen to part ways with the diminutive winger.

MORE SPURS STORIES

The North London side have struggled to permanently offload the former Valencia man, who has only managed four starts and 24 appearances in the Premier League for the Lilywhites.

However, they look set to cash in this summer after the Spaniard showed good form before succumbing to a season-ending injury in March.

And ex-Spurs scout Bryan King – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes that Tottenham could be set to secure as much as £15million for Gil.

“Gil has been playing in Spain for the last couple of seasons,” King said.

“Also, he’s still only 24 years old. He’s been playing in a high-level league, he’s also done fairly well in Spain, and it appears as though he has no future at Tottenham.

“They’ll want at least £12m for his signature, but that fee could even rise to as much as £15m. However, it certainly doesn’t look as though he has any future at Tottenham. In all fairness, it hasn’t looked like he’s had any future at Tottenham for the past two years.”

Gil mistake has been learned by Tottenham

Paratici’s time at Tottenham is synonymous with some excellent transfers, including the likes of Cristian Romero and Dejan Kulusevski.

However, there have been some blunders, and Gil is arguably top of that unfortunate list.

His technical and dribbling qualities caught the eye, but Paratici and the scouting department failed to foresee how much his lack of athleticism would thwart his progress in North London.

Tottenham have learned from their mistakes and are now targeting players like Antoine Semenyo and Bryan Mbeumo, whose physical profiles are already proven to be able to handle the English top flight.

Tottenham need to be wary about pursuing a deal for Brentford’s Yoane Wissa this summer.

With a Champions League campaign ahead, Tottenham will be fully aware of the importance held in the summer transfer window.

If Spurs are to compete domestically, several incomings will be needed in North London, and the hire of Thomas Frank may aid their attempts to achieve that.

Amid links to Bryan Mbuemo, it seems as though Frank is keen on reuniting with some of his former players, and he may not be the only one.

Tottenham could sign Wissa from Brentford

Tottenham have already been linked with several new players this summer, though as it stands, they have yet to open their chequebook to seal any brand-new arrivals, with Mathys Tel the only incoming following his loan spell last season.

MORE SPURS STORIES

However, the expectation is that that will change soon, and Brentford’s Wissa has been linked with a move to North London.

After such an impressive Premier League campaign, Wissa would likely be a good fit for Spurs, but his form will almost guarantee him a call-up to the DR Congo national team when they travel to AFCON in December.

Should that be the case, his arrival at Spurs would be followed by a near-immediate exit, and Tottenham will need to be aware of that if they opt to look further into a deal.

AFCON could disrupt Spurs plans

Even forgetting about Wissa, Spurs could lose several players to AFCON when it gets underway over Christmas, and they need to ensure they have the depth to cope with that if it is to be the case.

A lack of depth was the main reason behind their failures domestically last season, and they will not want to see a repeat of that under Frank next time out.

With pre-season edging ever closer and the Premier League campaign less than two months away, Tottenham are in desperate need of new additions

Tottenham fans will be spending the summer trying to forget their dreadful 2024-25 Premier League campaign.

The Lilywhites ended the season by lifting the Europa League trophy, but that doesn’t erase the fact that they finished 17th in the league.

It’s up to new manager Thomas Frank to drastically improve Spurs’ league form once the new season begins in August.

Spurs fans excited by new kit reveal

The release of new home and away kits is a great way to help fans move on from a disappointing season.

Nowadays, every Premier League club revamps their entire selection of kits every summer. It can cost supporters a small fortune to stay up to date when wearing their club colours.

Nevertheless, the official reveal of a new jersey remains one of the highlights of the summer.

There have been no official releases from Spurs yet.

However, that hasn’t stopped fans from losing their minds over leaked images of a new black away shirt.

The images are doing the rounds on social media and have attracted plenty of compliments from the Tottenham faithful.

“A thing of beauty,” one fan posted, while another added that it was Spurs’ “best in years”.

However, some fans weren’t so impressed with the shirt. Some pointed out the subtle grid effect as being unnecessary or similar to a spreadsheet.

Spurs have all the infrastructure to be one of the world’s biggest clubs

It’s important to reiterate that leaked images of football shirts often turn out to be fake.

Tottenham fans won’t know for sure if they’ll see their Europa League heroes in this black shirt until the official reveal of their 2025-26 jerseys.

With that said, several commenters mentioned that they had managed to get hold of this shirt already.

Tottenham have all the infrastructure in place to be deemed one of the biggest clubs in the world. They’ve got the brand new stadium, the luxury training ground and multi-million pound kit deals with Nike.

In a recent interview, Daniel Levy said it was no point having any of this if it doesn’t translate to improved results on the pitch.

Indeed, this is what fans want more than anything. This is the metric used to judge the size of a club. It’s time for Spurs to ascend.

Thomas Frank is now the man in charge of making that happen. Spurs fans will be hoping that Levy gives him the funds necessary to achieve that goal.

Former Tottenham defender Japhet Tanganga could be on the move this summer.

With the Premier League fixtures now released, the only thing standing between Tottenham and pre-season is the summer transfer window.

Now that Thomas Frank is in post, Spurs can focus all of their attention on bringing players to North London ahead of their Champions League campaign next season.

Bolstering their starting 11 will be the number one priority, though Spurs will need to add more depth to their squad to be able to compete, with an interesting update on their pursuit of a former defender.

Tottenham unlikely to pursue Tanganga deal this summer

Dennis Cirkin is the latest to have been linked with a move to Tottenham, having left the club in 2021 to join Sunderland.

MORE SPURS STORIES

A deal for the full back is unlikely to cost much, though it would aid their home-grown quota and provide sufficient depth, a similar story to what Tanganga could do.

His exit from Millwall seems inevitable after it was claimed he has a release clause of £1.2million, but Paul Robinson cannot see Spurs pursuing a deal for the latter, unless they are forced into business late in the window.

Speaking to Tottenham News, he said: “It is a deal that makes sense, but I don’t think they’ll revisit old ground that quickly.

“There’s a reason that they let him go. I think he’s done excellently well at Millwall, and I, for one, was surprised when they let him go. And for the fee that they let him go at, I think he was a top quality young player and fair play to him for wanting to go out and play regularly and play every week.

“But I think from Tottenham’s point of view, I think that ship’s sailed. I think they’ve moved on. They’re going to be looking at top-level players, as in Champions League players, now for next season.

“He would still be a good addition to the squad if he were in the squad, but unless recruitment towards the end of the window hasn’t been what they would have expected, I really can’t see that happening.“

Frank needs access to more depth at Tottenham

There are a number of reasons you can pinpoint for the failures that Spurs demonstrated last season domestically, though they all come back to the squad depth argument.

To put it straight, it was non-existent, and if Frank is to succeed as Tottenham boss, that needs to change this summer.

Daniel Levy’s decision when Dennis Cirkin departed for Sunderland could come back to reward Tottenham this summer.

Tottenham are yet to start their summer transfer business, though with a Champions League campaign to attend to next season, it will be crucial that Thomas Frank is backed in the market.

After such a poor domestic campaign under Ange Postecoglou, the addition of fresh quality will play a deciding role in the success that they can find under Frank, with added depth also needed in North London.

With that in mind, Tottenham have been linked with a move to sign Cirkin, and Levy seems to have played a blinder with his initial sale.

Tottenham included clause in Cirkin exit

Cirkin was always highly rated at Tottenham, though a lack of first-team exposure ultimately led to his exit back in 2021.

MORE SPURS STORIES

A move to Wearside would come to fruition for the defender, where he has since thrived and played a crucial role in their promotion back to the Premier League.

However, according to Football London, Levy included a sell-on clause in the deal that saw him move to Sunderland, and with Spurs now keen to bring him home, they would get him at a discounted price.

They also had a buy-back clause in his contract, though that is believed to have now expired, meaning the initial fee may prove to be slightly higher than hoped if a deal is pursued.

Tottenham need an injection of quality in starting XI

Depth is going to be vital next season, though the main focus for now has to be on improving the starting 11 that Frank will have access to.

After finishing 17th in the Premier League, it is evident that the margin for improvement is massive, and that will only be bridged with the signings of top-quality players.

As for the likes of Cirkin, their additions would make sense from a depth perspective, depending on the nature of any deal.

Ange Postecoglou has already been linked with several jobs since he was sacked by Tottenham.

Postecoglou’s stock will no doubt be high after ending a 17-year trophy drought at Tottenham.

Unfortunately for the Australian, owing to a dismal Premier League record, this wasn’t enough to keep his job in North London. However, Postecoglou is still a man in high demand.

Postecoglou urged to reject Saudi Arabia move

It has been widely reported that Al Ahli are interested in appointing Postecoglou.

Tottenham fans are delighted at the prospect of their former boss earning a huge payday in the Middle East rather than coaching at another Premier League club.

MORE SPURS STORIES

However, Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes that Postecoglou should remain in Europe.

“He’d be on ridiculous money, that is for sure,” Wenham said.

“However, I think he should wait for a job in Europe. He’s fought long and hard to get to where he is and just led a club to a European title.

“For me, I think he should wait for a bigger job in Europe and see what comes up. You know what it’s like, six games into the season, jobs start popping up as managers are sacked. That’s just how it works in this day and age, so if I were him, I’d wait around.”

Tottenham should give Frank time

Daniel Levy has made his Premier League and UEFA Champions League hopes clear. However, not all coaches can win silverware in their second season, let alone their first.

The Dane has established himself as a good domestic coach. He cemented Brentford as a mid-table Premier League side with few resources.

This indicates the results Frank could produce with Spurs, given he is allowed the time to make things happen. However, turning the Lilywhites into world-beaters is not something that will happen overnight.

Therefore, Levy needs to be patient with Frank.

Destiny Udogie has been a first-team regular for Tottenham, making 25 Premier League appearances last season.

Since moving to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2022, he has gone from strength to strength in North London.

Still only 22, the Italian’s future is bright and Spurs will hope that he continues to get better with each passing year.

Udogie pleased as Dante Cassanova signs new Spurs contract

Dante Cassanova, who joined Spurs back in 2022, has signed a contract extension at the North London club.

His deal will now expire at the end of the 2026/27 campaign, with him committing another two years to Tottenham.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Last season, he made 16 Premier League 2 appearances for the North London club and was a regular starter as well.

Reacting to this news on Instagram, Udogie wrote: “That’s my boy.”

Tottenham fans will be delighted by Cassanova’s decision

Fans have every reason to be thrilled about Cassanova’s future and his new Tottenham contract until 2027.

At just 20, this versatile defender, capable of playing centre-back, full-back, or holding midfielder, embodies the kind of dynamic, possession-based talent that aligns with Spurs’ ambitions under new manager Thomas Frank.

His leadership as captain of the Under-18s and Under-21s, coupled with his role in the Premier League 2-winning youth side, showcases his potential to become a first-team regular.

Cassanova’s inclusion in eight matchday squads during the 2024-25 season, including Europa League games, highlights the club’s faith in him despite a turbulent campaign.

His resilience in overcoming injuries and his popularity among teammates further boost his promise.

Committing to Spurs ensures the club retains a homegrown gem, avoiding the risk of losing him to rivals.

With potential loan moves or a debut on the horizon, Cassanova’s development could anchor Spurs defence for years, making his contract extension a major coup.

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has a decision to make with Mikey Moore this summer.

The Dane has recently been appointed as a replacement for Ange Postecoglou in North London, ready to take charge of his first transfer window.

This will see the former Brentford man have a telling impact on the squad, with several incoming and outgoing deals expected.

One deal which has already been mooted is the loan departure of Moore, but now Frank could hold off making a decision until later in the summer.

Moore loan to West Brom on ice at Tottenham

There is no doubt that the 17-year-old is one of the most talented assets available in N17, but he needs minutes to realise his potential.

MORE SPURS STORIES

That has seen the England under-19 international linked with a temporary switch to the Baggies in the Championship for the upcoming campaign.

With Ryan Mason moving to West Brom, Moore could be set to join the ex-Spurs coach in the Midlands to gain positive experience in senior football.

As positive as this could prove to be, there is now every chance that a move is delayed to give the new regime a chance to assess his impact.

Former Brentford manager Martin Allen believes Frank could be keen to keep hold of the young winger, ready for another busy campaign of European and domestic action.

“He’s a good player, let’s be honest,” Allen exclusively told Tottenham News.

“Will Thomas Frank see him as a cup player and as a substitute for the last 20 minutes of games to have an impact? Is he able to do that?

“Is he able to start and have an influence on lesser teams?

“Would it be better for him to go on loan to West Brom and play 30, 35 games? Then he can come back to Tottenham to start next season.

“With the amount of games to play, I would imagine Tottenham will want to keep hold of every player they can.

“When you take on European matches, it’s a whole new schedule, very demanding, and those clubs need every player they can get their hands on.“

Moore has point to prove at Tottenham

There is no shortage of attacking talent available at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which has made life difficult for the teenager.

The addition of Mathys Tel on a permanent deal from Bayern Munich is only likely to make this worse moving into the new campaign.

Despite this, there is every chance that Frank looks to get the best of Moore in N17 moving forward, to help build him up in senior football.

This could represent a huge blow for Mason at West Brom, but at the end of the day, Spurs have to do what is best for their interests this summer.

Tottenham could secure the signing of Bryan Mbeumo thanks to the unlikeliest of sources: Bruno Fernandes.

Tottenham have been linked with Mbuemo, but the forward is widely reported to prefer a move to Manchester United, with the Red Devils also in the running for his signature.

There have been suggestions that the Cameroon international’s stance might have changed thanks to Thomas Frank’s arrival at Tottenham from Brentford.

However, it looks as though it might be United’s captain who helps Tottenham win this transfer race.

Man Utd miss out on financial windfall as Fernandes snubs exit

Manchester United have already had an offer for Mbeumo turned down, with Brentford believed to be holding out for £70million.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Ruben Amorim’s side have already made a big-money signing this summer, bringing in Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m, and there might not be enough left in the budget at Old Trafford to complete a swoop for Mbeumo too.

Fernandes was widely linked with a £100m move to Al Hilal. However, the midfielder turned down the chance to move to Saudi Arabia, and Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes this has left United short of cash to sign Mbeumo.

“I still think Mbeumo will join Tottenham,” Wenham said.

“Manchester United have already invested heavily in Matheus Cunha. I think they were planning, regardless of what is now reported, to sell Fernandes to Saudi Arabia.

“However, he turned down that deal, which would have secured United a huge financial windfall. Therefore, I think that is why they’ve been unable to proceed with the Mbeumo deal, and I do think the player will end up at Tottenham.”

Tottenham must prioritise Mbeumo’s signing

Tottenham fans will be hoping their club springs into action for Mbeumo over the next couple of weeks.

Daniel Levy has been handed a huge springboard with the appointment of Frank, while Tottenham are also able to offer UEFA Champions League football next season.
