If you want to reach a new level under the guidance of Thomas Frank, Tottenham Hotspur is desperate to invest this summer.
Dane has been appointed to help build the Europa League with a victory in the last season at the end of the latest season, but if he wants to do so, he will need to get funds from the board.
However, despite their European success in 2024/25, their Premier League status was a disaster, with 17th place losing 22 games in 38 outings.
The new owner will have to find the right balance between Champions League efforts and attempts to restore the table, which is crucial for owner Daniel Levy.
As mentioned earlier, a lack of squad depth can create a huge obstacle to Frank’s efforts and important additions are needed if he is to achieve direct success in North London.
About the latest new hunting additions for the Spurs this summer
In 34 games for the French team this season, forward Arnaud Kalimuendo has been a key target for the Spurs after registering 18 goals in 34 outings.
Xavi Simons is another player throughout the offseason as Lilywhites aims to add a new dimension to the frontline ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
However, in recent days another name has entered the framework, with Belgian centre-back Koni de Winter gradually becoming a potential defensive reinforcement, a potential defensive reinforcement.
The report claims Frank’s side is currently leading the game for the Genoa star, who is available for £25 million this summer.
It also noted that the 23-year-old is currently receiving a lot of interest, and Crystal Palace is also in his signature competition, but Lilywhites currently has an advantage in pursuing his services.
Why de Winter signs better than Semenyo
Antoine Semenyo is an attacker who has attracted attention in the Premier League this season, registering 16 combined goals and assists for Bournemouth.
The 25-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough year on top flight in England, which attracted the attention of Frank’s side – followed by his signature competition.
However, Manchester United is also landing in Ghana International for the window, with Cherry demanding a fee in the £65m area to separate from the Star Man.
Given his Statistics Instance before the goal, he will certainly provide the necessary depth in the last third, but for Frank, de Winter will certainly provide a better addition to this window.
Cristian Romero is away from North London during the off-season, Atlético and Real Madrid are all keen to land on the Argentinians.
Such a move will leave huge loopholes in the first 11, which is something the manager needs to solve, and de Winter can be said to be absolutely suitable for the backline.
The 23-year-old was labeled as a “attitude” by journalist Sacha Tavolieri, who has completed the 87% pass he tried, entering the last third of 1.7 per 90 points – a side option if needed.

He also won 58% of the tackles he entered while winning 3.2 aerial titles per 90, providing a very talented defensive option that improves the third-place situation.
de Winter also made 1.1 interceptions per 90 and 4.8 recovery rates, helping the Italian side keep 10 clean sheets and get mid-table finishes in 2024/25.
The £25 million in the market today would be a good deal for Lilywhites, and he will be a platform for success in his The Helm in north London.
While Semenyo will be an excellent signing, additional defensive reinforcements are needed, especially with Romero’s departure, the Belgians have the tools to fill any gaps.
