Why Thomas Frank could be the reason behind Tottenham’s lack of transfer urgency
Some Tottenham fans are getting increasingly impatient at the club’s lack of urgency this summer, but a new report has now suggested that the delay in getting deals over the line might be down to new boss Thomas Frank.
So far, Tottenham Hotspur have only completed the permanent signing of Mathys Tel, who Frank has admitted he is excited to work with.
Another signing is soon expected to be made official, with Japanese defender Kota Takai expected to arrive at Spurs soon in a £5m deal from J-League side Kawasaki Frontale.
However, neither of those moves signals the kind of ambition that Tottenham fans hoped to see from the club ahead of their return to the Champions League, and a new report has now revealed why the Lilywhites are not in a hurry to get big names through the door.
Thomas Frank wants to meet Tottenham players before making transfer decisions
The Times have now claimed that some of the delays in striking deals are down to the change of head coach at Hotspur Way.
The outlet reveals that Frank is keen to meet some of his players in person before making a final decision on their futures.
It stands to reason that the delay in decisions on the potential outgoings is also leading to a delay in finalising Tottenham’s top transfer targets.
The outlet points out Frank welcomes back his non-international players later this week, with the likes of Dominic Solanke and Lucas Bergvall expected to be among the first group to return for pre-season.
Tottenham are prioritising reinforcing two positions
The Times claim that the North Londoners are prioritising signing a central midfielder and a wide-forward at the moment and are currently continuing to explore their options in the market.
The outlet backs up what we have heard from other sources over recent days by stating that Tottenham have cooled their interest in Eberechi Eze.
The publication names Mohammed Kudus, Antoine Semenyo and Xavi Simons as the attackers on Spurs’ radar but adds that none of them are expected to come cheap.
