Where might Tottenham need to strengthen?
Winning the Europa League to secure Champions League qualification was a huge boost to Tottenham's finances but also meant the squad will need strengthening if they are to hold their own against Europe's elite. New boss Thomas Frank has only had two weeks to consider where improvements are necessary. Advertisement He gave the green light to a £30m move for forward Mathys Tel, who has joined after a loan spell from Bayern Munich, while defender Kevin Danso's stint on loan from Lens has been turned into an obligatory £21m deal. The only other arrival has been 18-year-old Croatian defender Luka Vuskovic, who is unlikely to be rushed into first-team contention and may instead go out on loan. Spurs have been linked with a move for Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo and it would be no surprise if they are targeting a goalscoring winger given Son Heung-min's decline in form and the relative inexperience of Wilson Odobert. Reinforcements may also be required in the centre of the pitch, with both Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma entering the final year of their contracts, although Frank is reportedly a long-term admirer of Archie Gray and could look to utilise the youngster in midfield. The 19-year-old mainly featured as a makeshift defender in his first year at Spurs but sees his future further forward.

Tottenham confirm first signing of Thomas Frank era as permanent deal finalised for Mathys Tel
Spurs are understood to have paid around £30m for Tel after his loan spell last season (AFP via Getty Images) Tottenham have confirmed the signing of Mathys Tel on a permanent deal from Bayern Munich. Spurs are understood to have paid around £30million for the 20-year-old, who has agreed a six-year contract and becomes the first official signing of the Thomas Frank era. Advertisement Tel made 20 appearances for Spurs last season after joining on loan in January, scoring three goals. He was an unused substitute for their Europa League final win over Manchester United. In a statement, Spurs said: 'We are delighted to announce the permanent signing of Mathys Tel from FC Bayern. (AFP via Getty Images) 'Mathys joined the Club from the Bundesliga side in February on loan until the end of the season with an option to make the move permanent. We can confirm we have agreed a deal with Bayern that will see the France Under-21 international sign a contract that will run until 2031 when his current loan deal ends on June 30.' Advertisement Tel is currently representing France at the European Under-21 Championship. Spurs are stepping up moves to make new signings for Frank, who is interested in a reunion with Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo. Mbeumo is valued at around £60m and is also wanted by Manchester United. Spurs have also been linked with Brentford stars Yoane Wissa and Christian Norgaard.

Tottenham make Antoine Semenyo enquiry to Bournemouth
Tottenham Hotspur have made an enquiry to Bournemouth about forward Antoine Semenyo but are not proceeding with a move for the Ghanaian forward at present. Semenyo is thought to be attracted by the prospect of a move to north London but Bournemouth's steep asking price has deterred further interest from Spurs in the short term, as well as his other suitors, including Manchester United. Advertisement Bournemouth are thought to value the 25-year-old winger at £65million. Semenyo has become an integral part of Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth side, scoring 21 goals across the last two seasons including 13 in 42 appearances in all competitions in 2024-25. New Spurs head coach Thomas Frank wants to add to his attacking options this summer, despite the club completing the signing of forward Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich on a permanent basis, following a five-month loan spell. Tel joined the north London club in a deal worth €35m (£29.9m), plus €10m (£8.5m) in potential bonuses. As reported by The Athletic on June 17, Spurs hope to persuade Bryan Mbeumo to follow Frank from Brentford but his preference is to join Manchester United, who submitted an opening offer of £45million plus a further £10m for the 25-year-old in add-ons earlier this month. Semenyo joined Bournemouth from Championship side Bristol City in January 2023 and agreed a new five-year deal at the south coast club in July 2024. He made 125 first-team appearances prior to joining Bournemouth, and also had spells out on loan at Bath City, Newport County and Sunderland earlier in his career.
