Thomas Frank intensifies Tottenham's transfer pursuits to maintain competitiveness post-Maddison.
Tottenham Hotspur are making waves in the transfer market as they target Manchester City's highly-rated winger, Savinho, with a reported fee of €50m under discussion. The Football Faithful confirms the Brazilian's openness to the move, reflecting Spurs’ drive to reinforce their attacking options after key departures and injuries. With Savinho’s capacity to enhance squad versatility, indications are that this move could fill the void left by the departed Heung-min Son and the sidelined James Maddison.
In addition to Savinho, the London club is also eyeing Liverpool's Harvey Elliott and Atalanta's Ademola Lookman. Elliott, who showed promise at Liverpool, is keen on more playing time and Spurs might offer him just that. Meanwhile, Lookman has requested a transfer from Atalanta, potentially setting up a competitive market dynamic with Inter Milan and others interested in his services.
The unfortunate news of James Maddison’s ACL injury continues to resonate within the Tottenham camp. The midfielder, who proved integral to Spurs’ creative output, will undergo surgery and spend significant time away from the pitch this season. It’s a significant blow for new manager Thomas Frank, who acknowledges the need for an urgent tactical re-evaluation to compensate for Maddison's absence. The squad's depth further suffers as Dejan Kulusevski is also recovering from surgery, although his return is more imminent.
Following Heung-min Son's high-profile transfer to Los Angeles FC, Tottenham's roster is undergoing a transformation. Son's departure saw him end a decade-long successful stint in North London, where he established himself as a club legend. As The Independent highlights, his move has not only created a leadership gap but has also intensified the need for new signings and tactical adjustments to fill the creative and scoring void he leaves behind.
