Tottenham Hotspur are looking to add more depth to their squad for the upcoming season
Tottenham are looking to shock their competitors by making a late charge in the transfer market. The Lilywhites were on the backfoot for most parts of the summer after ending last season on a high. But Daniel Levy has come out with all guns blazing in recent weeks, and it looks like the club chairman is finally putting the money where his mouth is.
The Spurs chairman is determined to see the North London club fight for more titles under Thomas Frank. And to achieve that, the Danish tactician will need to be backed in the final few days of the transfer window before the new Premier League campaign commences. Bringing in a few statement signings will surely give the Lilywhites a strong chance of building on the Europa League success.
It is fair to say that Thomas Frank has not had an easy start to life at N17 following his switch from Brentford. The Danish tactician has been forced to cope with the loss of Heung-Min Son, after the South Korean ended his ten-year stay at the club earlier this month. Not only that, but star player James Maddison also ruptured his ACL in a pre-season game.
Dan Plumley believes Tottenham will bring in more players in the coming days
Tottenham have already managed to bring in Mohammed Kudus from West Ham and Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich in the summer. But the departure of Heung-Min Son and the recent injury to James Maddison might force the Lilywhites to sign some more players to bolster the quality of the attack and add more depth to their ranks for the upcoming season.
Now, according to finance expert Dan Plumley, Spurs fans will be happy to know that the club has enough finances to spend on one or two new players, depending on the situation. Speaking to Tottenham News, Plumley said,
“It’s a big commitment, for sure, but again, Spurs are one of those clubs that can always spend. We’ve said this time and time again, there’s no issue with them spending if they want to, new manager coming in, Champions League football, and also what’s happened in the context of the pre-season, obviously losing Son is a blow, but it does free up room.”
The finance expert added,
“To bring somebody else in, and they’ve recouped some money for that, but also the injury to James Maddison, which of course you never planned for, but I think that in itself is a reason that they’ve had go back into the market because that’s a season-ending injury and it can shift the plans and move things around pretty quickly.”
Dan Plumley has suggested that Tottenham can spend on new players as they would want to back Thomas Frank and give him a good chance to go deep in the Champions League. The finance expert also adds that losing Heung-Min Son and James Maddison will also force the club to spend, as the latter has faced a season-ending injury. And selling Son has also freed up some room in the squad for a new left-winger.
The Lilywhites are already a few steps ahead and have started looking for a new #10 and winger. Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze is being targeted by Spurs for a potential transfer as James Maddison’s replacement. Whereas, Manchester City star Savinho is also linked with a move to N17 as the North London club looks to fill the void left behind by Heung-Min Son.
