Mikey Moore has been linked with a move to West Brom after his breakthrough season at Tottenham.

Moore has become a fan favourite since he signed his first professional contract last summer.

Ange Postecoglou handed Moore his senior debut in a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City last season, with the teenager becoming the youngest player to ever feature for Spurs in the Premier League.

However, Postecoglou has now been replaced by Thomas Frank, which means there is set to be plenty of changes at Tottenham, with the Dane already making one decision.

Manor Solomon to feature in Tottenham’s pre-season campaign

Manor Solomon spent the season on loan with Leeds United.

The left-winger shone at Elland Road, scoring the goal which clinched the Championship title for Leeds.

As a result, the Whites have been widely linked with a permanent move for Solomon. However, it looks as though the 25-year-old will now continue at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

As reported by Sacha Tavolieri via X (14 June), Frank is a fan of Solomon, and the 51-year-old wants to take a closer look at the winger in pre-season.

It was previously believed that Moore could thrive under Frank, but the recent news could see him struggle for gametime.

Solomon’s revival is not the only concern for Moore. Tottenham have also announced (15 June) the permanent signing of Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich on a contract that will run until 2031.

It has already been suggested that Moore could follow Ryan Mason to West Brom on loan this summer.

And with the prospect of competing with both Solomon and Tel for spaces in the forward line, Moore may be more inclined to make the move to The Hawthorns.

Moore could thrive on loan

Moore should consider a loan deal this season, even if West Brom is no longer an option.

The competition for places at Tottenham will be high next season, and Frank may choose to start more experienced players in the bigger games. Therefore, if Moore does not want to limit his progress, he should seriously think about a season-long loan.

Son Heung-min could call time on his illustrious Tottenham career this summer.

Son has been a stellar servant to Tottenham since he arrived in N17 from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015.

The South Korean crowned his last 10 years of service by becoming the first captain to lift a European trophy for the Lilywhites in 41 years, ensuring his legacy at Tottenham.

While Son is held in high esteem in North London, his performances have noticeably dipped as the forward approaches his 33rd birthday.

This had led to speculation over Son’s future at Tottenham, with the latest news taking him a step closer to an emotional exit.

Tottenham have £25million agreement in Saudi Arabia

Son has indicated he could leave Tottenham this summer, with Saudi Arabia emerging as the most likely destination for the skipper in recent weeks.

The forward has one year left on his contract, and Tottenham will look to extract maximum value from any potential transfer, especially given how much revenue Son’s global status brings the club.

As reported by journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu via X (15 June), Fenerbahçe have now entered the race to sign Son following positive talks between the player and his former manager, Jose Mourinho.

Son is open to joining Fenerbahçe. However, Tottenham have an agreement in Saudi Arabia, and Mourinho’s side will need to pay a transfer fee of £25million if talks are to progress.

Son arguably showed his best form under the former Chelsea manager.

They have often spoken highly of each other, with Mourinho recently congratulating his former winger, while taking the opportunity to criticise Daniel Levy, following Spurs’ success in the UEFA Europa League.

Tottenham ready to move on from Son

There is no doubt that Son will go down in Spurs folklore as one of their most influential players in recent history, but all good stories come to an end.

The forward no longer commands the same aura on the pitch and has struggled to make a telling impact on games this season despite posting decent numbers.

He started the Europa League final on the bench, and was not an auto-pick in crucial games for the first time in a long time at Tottenham.

Thomas Frank might have to make do without Cristian Romero at Tottenham next season.

Romero’s future is one of the biggest question marks at Tottenham, with the defender widely linked with a move to Atletico Madrid.

Ange Postecoglou shared a close relationship with Romero, and it is thought that the sacking of the Australian has upset the centre-back.

Therefore, a summer exit for Romero is starting to feel inevitable, and Frank is understood to have already identified his replacement.

Frank wants to bring Nathan Collins to Tottenham

Tottenham will look to raid Brentford for more than their manager this summer.

And with Romero fuelling speculation about his departure, Frank could look to bring in Brentford’s Nathan Collins as a replacement.

The centre-back featured in every single minute of the Bees’ Premier League campaign this season, and as reported by the Hounslow Herald (9 June), the 24-year-old is interested in following Frank to Tottenham.

However, the financial package involved could become an issue, as Brentford would look for “a significant return” on the £22million they paid for Collins. Therefore, Romero would need to be sold first to provide Spurs with the necessary funding to make the deal happen.

And Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – agrees that Collins will only be signed if Romero leaves.

“Proven Premier League players are hard to come by,” Wenham said.

“Collins did well before joining Brentford, and it was seen as quite a coup when they signed him. They paid a decent fee to bring him to the club, and there were bigger clubs looking.

“Therefore, if Frank wants him and knows him well, that deal would make sense. However, I think that transfer would only happen if Romero were to leave Tottenham.”

Collins would be a good Romero replacement

Collins could spend the prime years of his career at Tottenham if he is to make the move to North London this summer.

The Republic of Ireland international would offer a dynamic partnership with Micky van de Ven. Collins is known for his strong physical presence and aerial game, which makes him effective in all phases of play.

Along with van de Ven’s speed and composure, the two could form one of the best defensive duos in the Premier League. Therefore, while Tottenham would miss Romero, Collins would make a suitable replacement.

Son Heung-min’s near-decade-long stay at Tottenham appears to have come to an end after an official transfer announcement.

Son finally won silverware with Tottenham as he lifted the UEFA Europa League in Bilbao.

However, the South Korean wasn’t at his best this season and has garnered interest from Saudi Arabia as their next marquee signing.

Therefore, it seems that the 32-year-old’s time at Hotspur Way has come to an end, especially after an official transfer announcement was made by Tottenham.

Tottenham announce the permanent signing of Mathys Tel

Mathys Tel joined Spurs from Bayern Munich in February on loan until the end of the season.

MORE SPURS STORIES

While he wasn’t a consistent starter under Ange Postecoglou, Tel did score three goals for Tottenham, and Thomas Frank clearly liked what he saw of the Frenchman.

As officially confirmed by Tottenham on Sunday (15 June), Tel has made his loan stay permanent, signing a six-year contract in North London.

And this could spell trouble for Son, whose future is expected to be decided in the coming weeks.

While Tel can be deployed as a centre-forward, the 20-year-old was primarily used as a left-winger under Postecoglou. Therefore, this could be where his future lies.

Son could refuse to accept a rotational role, which could signal that he has played his final game for the North London team.

Tottenham need a player like Tel

Few forwards are as versatile as Tel in football. The youngster is almost as capable as a centre-forward as he is as a left-winger. His signing will now be a huge boost for Tottenham in their UEFA Champions League campaign.

Current Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain demonstrated that a deep squad and versatile players are essential for teams to become first-time winners. Tel offers this and more.

Therefore, the permanent transfer of Tel is a step in their right direction for Spurs to win all trophies next season, even if it means the end of the road for Son.

Tottenham appear to have split the football world when it comes to whether or not they had a ‘good season’.

The Lilywhites ended their 17-year wait for a trophy by winning the Europa League, but it came at a cost as they slumped to 17th in the Premier League table.

Spurs’ poor league form ultimately cost manager Ange Postecoglou his job, although many pundits have argued he didn’t deserve to be sacked.

Lennon surprised by Walker comments on Tottenham

Former Spurs winger Aaron Lennon said he wasn’t surprised by the decision to get rid of Postecoglou.

In an interview with talkSPORT (13 June), he said that the Premier League was always the main priority while he was at Tottenham, and that 17th place was not good enough for the club.

Host Andy Goldstein then asked Lennon about the comments made by his old teammate Kyle Walker.

In a podcast appearance earlier in the week, Walker admitted he’d have given up a Premier League winner’s medal with Manchester City to win a Europa League with Spurs.

This revelation shocked Lennon.

He said: “Really? I didn’t see that. That surprises me. That surprises me. Yeah, like I said, for me, the Premier League is everything.

“It is the pinnacle. It’s everything. [Walker’s] won a few titles. That’s why he has said it, 100 per cent, because he’s got a few of them. So yeah, that surprises me. But fair play to him. He’s got a few.”

Lennon was speaking ahead of his appearance in this year’s Soccer Aid charity game. In the interview, he also tipped Bryan Mbeumo to join Tottenham ahead of Manchester United this summer.

Spurs will need to fight on all fronts next season

Whether or not it was the ‘right decision’, Tottenham will aim to move forward without Postecoglou next season.

Thomas Frank has been recruited as the new Tottenham manager, and he will now aim to build a squad capable of competing on several fronts next season.

Spurs have qualified for the Champions League and have been linked with several players who have lit up that competition in the past. Leroy Sane and Jack Grealish are among the names being targeted.

But they’ll have to do better in the Premier League to keep the fans happy this season.

Tottenham have one of the most expensive season tickets in the Premier League. In some cases, the fans shell out thousands to see them compete in 19 Premier League games.

They deserve more consistent performances than what they got this year at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Frank’s reputation will ultimately live or die on whether he can deliver that.

Tottenham have already replaced Ange Postecoglou with Thomas Frank, with further changes expected to be confirmed in due course.

Daniel Levy has been a busy man since Tottenham played their final Premier League game of the season.

Tottenham have confirmed Frank as their new Head Coach after paying to release the Dane from his contract with Brentford.

However, the Lilywhites are not finished just yet and are expected to announce their latest boardroom changes in a matter of weeks.

Tottenham ‘to confirm Scott Munn’s departure’

Having previously held the same position at Arsenal, Vinai Venkatesham will become the new Tottenham Chief Executive Officer this summer.

He has already made quite an impression on Spurs supporters, who praised him for several noticeable changes in the communications department.

Meanwhile, it has been widely reported that Scott Munn has been sacked by Tottenham, and Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes that fans will not need to wait much longer for official confirmation on these changes.

“I think Tottenham are waiting for Venkatesham’s official start date,” Wenham said.

“I imagine that will be on 1 July, and I think we will see a boardroom announcement on that day, which will confirm that Venkatesham is in place and that Munn has been sacked.

“There are changes afoot at Tottenham, and they might even use that opportunity to explain the reorganisation of Matthew Collecott’s role as well. I think 1 July will be when we get official updates.”

Tottenham will be almost unrecognisable next season

The summer shake-up at Spurs, in line with the new season, is clear to see. Donna Maria-Cullen announced she is stepping down as Executive Director at Tottenham.

Meanwhile, Postecoglou and several of his staff were shown the exit after an underwhelming Premier League campaign.

All eyes will now be on Frank to deliver a successful season. The changes in North London could indicate that Levy is prepared to back his new manager in the summer transfer window. Indeed, to the outsider looking in, it seems that the chairman means business next season.

Therefore, Spurs could be ones to watch in the Premier League next year.

Luka Vuskovic has joined Tottenham this summer after a two-year wait for the defender.

Spurs made an agreement to sign the 18-year-old in 2023 after the defender showed incredible potential.

Vuskovic is already a Croatian international and had a successful loan spell at Belgian side Westerlo this season.

Now, the task for Thomas Frank is to decide what is best for Vuskovic to continue his development.

Hamburg and Club Brugge want to sign Vuskovic on loan

Plans were in place under Ange Postecoglou to send Vuskovic out on loan upon his arrival at Tottenham.

MORE SPURS STORIES

However, with the Australian now out and Frank in, these plans could easily change this summer, with the incoming manager set to make his first big exit call.

According to the Sunday Mirror, (15 June, page 66), the Dane is set to cast an eye on the 18-year-old in pre-season despite the ongoing loan interest from clubs abroad.

Both Hamburg and Club Brugge have contacted the defender’s representatives to register an early interest in signing Vuskovic on loan for the 2025/26 season.

Yet, Spurs are in no rush to make a decision on the centre-back’s future, and he could end up staying at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium which is yet to be ruled out.

Tottenham must learn from lack of defensive depth this season

One of the biggest factors in Tottenham’s terrible Premier League campaign this season was their lack of depth at the back.

Injuries and suspensions forced Postecoglou to field a makeshift backline for a good portion of the season. Now, Frank cannot repeat this mistake.

While Vuskovic would benefit from a loan move, Tottenham must ensure that they have good depth in defence next season.

Whether that means keeping the 18-year-old or signing new defenders, Frank cannot afford to have limited options in his backline.

Ange Postecoglou could be set to land his first job since being sacked at Tottenham.

The Australian head coach faced the sack in North London as Daniel Levy pulled the trigger despite Europa League success.

After such a dreadful season on the domestic front, this didn’t come as a surprise, although many supporters felt let down by the decision.

As a result, fans are continuing to back Postecoglou with positive comments being shared as he looks destined to secure a new role.

Tottenham fans react to Postecoglou update

Having won the first silverware for the Lilywhites in over 17 years, the 59-year-old is always going to be linked with North London.

MORE SPURS STORIES

As a result, the future of his career is being viewed closely by the Spurs faithful, even after the appointment of Thomas Frank.

This has seen a potential new job be met by widespread positivity from supporters who are happy to see the Aussie move on from N17.

Postecoglou has been linked with a Saudi Arabia switch this week, with various reports suggesting that interest is coming from Al Ahli.

This could see the ex-Celtic boss land a sizable payday in the Middle East and a new job role just weeks after his Lilywhites exit.

Spurs fans are largely happy about this news, with one taking to X (14 June) to say: “Perfect. Would hate to see him coach another Premier League team.”

This has been echoed by another who wished the former boss well, saying: “Wishing you nothing but the best.”

The prospect of managing with the riches of the Saudi Pro League hasn’t been lost on many, with another adding: “[It’s] closer to home and would secure his family for life.”

Postecoglou could join Saudi Arabia after Tottenham sack

Throughout the season, the Australian certainly left fans frustrated, and there were many points where an exit seemed logical.

That changed for many when the trophy was lifted in Bilbao, but ultimately, Levy will now live and die by his decision to sack Postecoglou.

Thomas Frank will work closely with Daniel Levy to get transfers across the line at Tottenham.

Frank would have made his intentions clear before signing on the dotted line, with Spurs’ pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo a telling indicator.

Nevertheless, talks with Levy will now become far more regular as Frank starts his assessment of the squad at his disposal.

The Dane will expect to strengthen almost every area of the pitch, especially up front, as doubts are raised over Dominic Solanke.

‘Solanke has a question mark over him’ at Tottenham

Tottenham scored more goals than their 17th-place Premier League finish would suggest, ending the season with a goal difference of just minus one.

MORE SPURS STORIES

However, Spurs’ strikers struggled in front of goal on multiple occasions, with Solanke particularly guilty of lacking the cutting edge that he possessed during his final season at Bournemouth.

The 27-year-old’s cause was not helped by Richarlison, who looks set to leave Tottenham after an underwhelming three years in North London that has been blighted by injuries.

And ex-Spurs scout Bryan King – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes that Frank has already held transfer talks with Levy, and could have brought up the striker position as an area to prioritise as questions loom over Solanke’s abilities.

“Talks between Frank and Tottenham have been going on for a while,” King said.

“Therefore, I’d imagine there are quite a few players Frank will want to keep, and a few he will want to move on. I would imagine Frank has already relayed this information to Levy.

“For me, the sooner Richarlison gets out of Tottenham, the better. I think Solanke has a question mark over him as well. He might have done it at Bournemouth, but he certainly hasn’t done it for me at Tottenham.”

Tottenham need a different profile to Solanke

Solanke was brought to Spurs by Ange Postecoglou for skills outside of just scoring goals.

The Englishman’s off-the-ball work rate both in and out of possession allowed for Spurs to play on the front foot and press their opponents high up the pitch.

Tottenham could now look to bring in a player who offers a different skillset, namely one who is better at holding the ball up and has a keen eye for goal.

Thomas Frank looks set to complete his first signing as Tottenham manager.

The Dane has recently been appointed with the remit of a much better domestic campaign after the Premier League failings of last time out.

After coming in from Brentford, the 51-year-old head coach will likely have a number of transfer targets in mind with the North London club.

With that in mind, Frank could be set to thank his new chairman, Daniel Levy, who appears to have worked wonders ahead of the summer window.

Levy works wonders with incoming Tottenham transfer

With the sacking of Ange Postecoglou, there has been no shortage of criticism towards the man at the helm of the Lilywhites.

MORE SPURS STORIES

This has been an ever-present long before the Europa League title made its way to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the end of the season.

Although that may be the case, fans are likely to be pleased with his work as the 63-year-old looks to begin transfer business in N17.

This has seen the Mail on Sunday print edition report (15 June) that Mathys Tel looks set to join Tottenham on a permanent deal this summer.

The move reflects well on Levy as the price has been chopped down to £30million despite Bayern Munich wanting £50m at the end of his initial loan deal.

Now, the France under-21 international looks destined to become the first signing of the Frank era once the window opens up in the coming days.

Tel set to sign for Tottenham in £30m deal

It is fair to say that the 20-year-old was somewhat underwhelming in his temporary stint in North London last campaign.

This saw the forward net just three goals, but his attitude and desire to succeed look set to serve him well ahead of a permanent move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The majority of supporters will be delighted to see Tel returning, especially for a cut-price fee which represents good value in today’s day and age.

Many fans may look in Levy in a different light after this deal as he clearly has Spurs’ best in mind, even if sometimes it doesn’t seem that way.
