Tottenham Hotspur will be in the hunt for some new signings this summer
Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping that Thomas Frank can lead them to success next season. The Dane has been picked as their replacement for Ange Postecoglou. He has caught the eye at Brentford over recent years and he will now be ready to test himself at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs won the Europa League in this past campaign but struggled in the league. Therefore, they could do with bringing in some more quality in this window. With that in mind, here is a look at their upcoming transfer window predicted by AI...
Tottenham Hotspur predicted to boost midfield and attacking ranks
Spurs have been predicted to sign Morten Hjulmand from Sporting Lisbon for £50million. Frank will be aware of his fellow countryman and he has played 19 games for Denmark so far. If he joined, he would give the London outfit more competition and depth in the middle of the park.
Hjulmand, 25, started his career with spells at FC Copenhagen, Admira Wacker and Lecce before moving to Portugal. He has since become one of Sporting’s most valuable assets and they could face a battle to keep hold of him. He has made 96 appearances for them in all competitions and has scored seven goals.
Spurs have been backed to snap up attacking midfielder Mikel Damsgaard from Brentford in a deal worth £30million. Frank knows the player well and could look to reunite with him, as well as other Bees talents like Bryan Mbeumo if possible. Damsgaard has become an important player at the Brentford Community Stadium.
It has taken him a couple of years to get used to English football but he is turning into a useful option now. He is a decent age, has potential to develop in the future and has experience of the league now. The Nordsjælland academy graduate spent two years in Italy at Sampdoria before rocking up in England.
Spurs are being tipped to land striker Arnaud Kalimuendo for a cut-price £20million deal from Rennes. The 23-year-old would give them another option to pick from up top. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Frank look to strengthen that particular area over the next couple of months.
Kalimuendo, 23, moved to Roazhon Park back in 2022 and has scored 40 goals in 112 matches, 18 of which came in the last campaign. Prior to his transfer, he was on the books at PSG. The new European champions loaned him out to Lens twice to get some experience under his belt.
Who could leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer?
Richarlison is facing an uncertain future at Spurs and AI believes he could depart for a new challenge elsewhere. If he did, it would probably suit all parties involved. It would also free up money to pave the way for reinforcements like Hjulmand, Damsgaard and Kalimuendo.
The Brazilian is an unpredictable operator who can produce moments of quality. However, he endured a tough past term and struggled on the goal scoring front. He is too inconsistent to depend upon and could depart for a change of scene. Alejo Veliz was brought in as one for the future but things haven’t gone to plan for him at Spurs so far. For that reason, AI reckons he may head out the exit door. At the age of 21, he can still have a bright future in the game but it hasn’t worked out for him in England.
The Argentinian youngster caught the eye in South America at Rosario Central before his move over to Europe. He has since featured on 10 occasions for his current club and has scored two goals. The forward has been loaned out to Seville and Espanyol over recent times but has hardly set the world alight in La Liga, scoring only once in 21 league games for the latter.
Cristian Romero rocked up at Spurs back in 2021 on an initial loan deal that was later made permanent. When fit, he is a solid defender and strengthens their options at the back. He has had his injury issues though and AI has predicted a possible move away for him in the near future, which would raise a few eyebrows. Frank would hope to get a decent fee for him if he did go.
