Spurs’ huge admirer, Premier League star £80 million
After such a bleak season in Tottenham’s Premier League last time, it’s no surprise to see a huge change in the club.
Ange Postecoglou, the leader throughout 2024/25, finally ended the nearly decade-long wait for the Lilywhites, but their league status has left his job in North London losing his job.
He was subsequently fired and Thomas Frank assumed the responsibility to enter the 2025/26 campaign with such a victory.
The new boss has handed him money to change the first team and transferred Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United for a £55m transfer.
Their big spending looks set to continue as the new season gets closer, and their names are still on the radar despite Frank’s recent additions.
New additions about the latest pursuits of the Spurs
Morgan Gibbs-White’s move to join the Spurs could be a waste of time, although it seems to be a question of when, rather than whether he would join the club a few days ago.
A deal seemed to be completed soon after triggering the £60 million release clause of Nottingham Forest star, but one party of Nuno Espírito Santo threatened legal action to achieve its signature.
Although such a move continues to surface, the department has worked elsewhere, resulting in Crystal Palace star Adam Wharton being another target, according to Alasdair Gold.
The journalist claimed in recent days that the hierarchy has been closely following the 21-year-old in recent years, even before he moved to Selhurst Park.
He also said he is still the target of Lilywhites this summer, but given his lack of top flight experience, he won’t pay too much for young people.
Givemesport suggests the Eagles may be looking for about £80 million.
Why the Spurs’ latest goal is great for Gibbs – White
Although the Gibbs white trade seems to have stalled, the Spurs still have expectations to reach a deal with the Forest during the off-season.
He will undoubtedly be a brilliant addition to one side, able to operate as an eight when needed, but his talent is certainly more suitable for the freelance role behind the striker.
His record of seven goals and eight assists on City Ground is evidence of the talent he has, and another great option for Frank to be around him if he moved to Lily White.
It would be a great price, so why the Forest questioned the current situation, England International has the tools to reach the new level of the Spurs.
If Walton joins the club, he will also have a great chance to do so, and the quality of the young man can help the 25-year-old on his mission.
When he started studying Wharton’s data from 2024/25, he performed well in many key areas, many of which will allow Gibbs-whites to play a more offensive role.
A analyst who was labeled as a “world-class” Wharton merchandise, successfully completed 7.3 progressive passes, last entering the last third of 90, has the ability to provide an open complement to the tools torture his opponents.

It’s one thing to be able to find teammates, but his ability to regain the ball is second to none, winning 2.3 tackles per 90 and 1.4 interceptions per 90 – providing himself with ammunition for changes to Gibbs -White and others.
This talent allows him to sit on Frank’s midfield trio, be able to decide on the game and control the game before having an impact on the ball.
As mentioned, it is not clear whether the club will offer any offer for the youngster’s signature, but it is clear that he has the ability to thrive on the side core with his fellow countrymen.
It’s also a complement that can keep the club going for many years, with the opportunity to develop further and get better, as he’s only 21 years old.
