Tottenham aiming to back Thomas Frank in the upcoming transfer window to maintain positive start to the new season
Tottenham’s ongoing restructuring at the top continues to make headlines as the Lewis family shift their focus firmly toward sporting success at N17. Under Daniel Levy’s leadership, the Lilywhites were largely geared towards becoming a commercial powerhouse in English football – often at the expense of consistent performances and results on the pitch.
That lack of sustained footballing success ultimately played a key role in Levy’s dismissal from his position last month. The decision came as a major surprise to many within and around the club, especially given there had been no clear indication that the long-serving chairman was on the verge of being replaced following the summer transfer window. However, there were ample reasons for the Lewis family to take decisive action sooner rather than later.
The aim for Spurs now is to compete on all four fronts this season and give themselves the best chance of adding more silverware to their trophy cabinet. To achieve this, Joe Lewis has made a significant investment of £100m into the club for the upcoming transfer window. They are willing to pull out all stops to back Thomas Frank in January and allow the Dane to build on last season’s Europa League success.
Tottenham have revitalised their football structure this season
In recent weeks, Tottenham’s hierarchy have made several major moves aimed at restoring the club to the top as quickly as possible. The appointment of Fabio Paratici as Sporting Director on a permanent basis stands out as a statement of intent from the Lewis family. The Italian will work closely with Johan Lange in a joint role, with both men tasked with identifying potential transfer targets and recruiting players who fit seamlessly into Frank’s tactical framework.
Spurs CEO Vinai Venkatesham has now elaborated on the motivation behind these sweeping changes. Speaking to the club’s official YouTube channel, Venkatesham said,
“It’s quite simple – the ambition of the Lewis Family is really, really clear. They want us to be focused on driving success on the pitch, they want more nights like the night we had in Bilbao. We think that putting this structure in place gives us the best chance, over the long-term, to deliver that success.”
As we all know, the Lewis family are keen to prioritise sporting success again at N17 as they look to build on last season’s Europa League triumph. Until now, all the signs are positive as ENIC are trying to change the trajectory of the North London club. And credit where its due, they have walked the talk and brought in some big names as part of Tottenham’s restructure at the top.
Now, attention turns to Fabio Paratici and Johan Lange, who must quickly learn to collaborate effectively and provide Thomas Frank with the tools he needs to compete on multiple fronts. The upcoming January transfer window will serve as an early test for the pair, offering fans an opportunity to assess how their partnership functions behind the scenes. For now, Spurs’ immediate focus should remain on going deep in one of the domestic cup competitions and maintaining a strong push for European qualification through the Premier League.
