Tottenham Hotspur’s Summer was anything but silent.
After a 2023/24 roller coaster season which saw them lifting the Europa League trophy while narrowly avoiding relegation with a 17th place in the league, club management made the controversial decision to separate from Angel Postcoglou.
In its place, Brentford Thomas Frank received the reins, responsible for supervising a reconstruction which balances European competition with the requirements of Premier league.
The key players have come and left in recent months. The son of the legend of the Heung-Min club brought the curtain over a decade of service, heading towards Lafc, while Mohamed Kudus of West Ham arrived in northern London for 60 million pounds sterling to inject a new quality of attack.
More recently, the Spurs have come closer to the finalization of a big case For Crystal Palace keyReady to beat Rivals arsenal to his signature.
The 27 -year -old English international is considered a natural creative replacement after James Maddison was excluded for the season by an LCA injury.
But Frank and the hierarchy of Spurs know that a player alone cannot transform his attack game.
The flair and the invention of Eze will be vital, but the spurs remain determined to add other options before closing the window.
With Savinho de Manchester City also linkedThe North London Club actively traverses the market for players who can offer versatility, a franchise and a final threat to the third.
Among the names discussed internally, a particular winger has become a serious target.
According to reports from Spain, Tottenham plans to move for the Takefusa Kubo of Real Sociedad, with allegations suggesting that they weighed an offer of 70 million euros (60 million pounds sterling) to guarantee its signature.
The Japanese international has become one of the major Liga players in recent years, described by journalist Kiyan Sobhani as “offensive threat. “”
Still 24 years old, Kubo is linked to Sociedad until 2029, but the tensions between player and club grew up.
He expressed his frustration towards the management of President Jokin Aperribay, publicly criticizing the lack of team investment and the absence of reinforcements necessary to contest the qualification in the Champions League.
His concerns were sharpened after Sociedad fell to 11th row last season, watching Bitter Basque Rivals Athletic Club celebrate a finish among the first four. Despite this, manager Sergio Francisco insisted that Kubo remains at the heart of his plans.
However, the winger would be open to leaving and considers the Premier League as the next ideal step of his career.
Interest of other Premier League teams – including West Ham And Everton – was noted, but the financial power of the Spurs and football in the Champions League give them an advantage.
If the Spurs finish the double blow of Eze and Kubo, they would boast two of the most dynamic attackers in the league – players who thrive on creativity, dribble and unlocking the defenses.
The two have the rare ability to do something from anything, and their figures suggest that they could be very complementary in the Frank’s system. Looking at their best seasons at the club level, data is told.
