Tottenham’s aggressive summer rebuild under Thomas Frank is beginning to take shape, with reinforcements arriving ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
The north London side have already secured a permanent deal for Mathys Tel after his loan spell from Bayern Munich.
However that hasn’t stopped them from exploring further upgrades.

Spurs have also shown interest in Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo.
Although the Cameroon international has reportedly set his sights on joining Manchester United instead.
Now, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic, Tottenham have reached a full agreement to sign Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United in a deal worth around £55million.
A medical has been scheduled for Thursday, with Kudus expected to sign a six-year contract at the club.
The 24-year-old Ghanaian, who was on Manchester United’s radar earlier this month, had been open to a move to Spurs.
Personal terms were never an issue.
Kudus was also the subject of interest from Chelsea and Newcastle, as per The Athletic’s report.
However, Spurs’ persistence and swift negotiations helped them win the race.
His West Ham contract includes a release clause – set at £85m for Premier League clubs.

The Hammers were willing to accept a reduced figure before it became active.
United had previously explored Kudus as a potential addition to Ruben Amorim’s new-look 3-4-3 system.
Particularly as an alternative or complement to Mbeumo.
But after prioritising their resources towards a final push for the Brentford winger, United were left vulnerable to Spurs swooping in for Kudus.
Kudus scored five goals and provided four assists in 35 Premier League games last season.
Slightly down from his debut campaign numbers, but remains a highly regarded attacking option.
Spurs’ ability to close the deal quickly has once again embarrassed United’s financial situation under INEOS.
Yet another target has slipped through their fingers before the season begins.
